PR-31:1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother
taught him.
PR-31:2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what,
the son of my
vows?
PR-31:3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that
which
destroyeth kings.
PR-31:4 [It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings
to drink wine;
nor for princes strong drink:
PR-31:5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the
judgment of any
of the afflicted.
PR-31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and
wine unto
those that be of heavy hearts.
PR-31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his
misery no
more.
PR-31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as
are appointed
to destruction.
PR-31:9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause
of the poor
and needy.
PR-31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price [is] far
above rubies.
PR-31:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so
that he shall
have no need of spoil.
PR-31:12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her
life.
PR-31:13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with
her hands.
PR-31:14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her
food from afar.
PR-31:15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat
to her
household, and a portion to her maidens.
PR-31:16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit
of her hands
she planteth a vineyard.
PR-31:17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth
her arms.
PR-31:18 She perceiveth that her merchandise [is] good: her
candle goeth not
out by night.
PR-31:19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands
hold the distaff.
PR-31:20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she
reacheth forth her
hands to the needy.
PR-31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for
all her
household [are] clothed with scarlet.
PR-31:22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing
[is] silk and
purple.
PR-31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth
among the elders
of the land.
PR-31:24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth [it]; and
delivereth girdles unto
the merchant.
PR-31:25 Strength and honour [are] her clothing; and she shall
rejoice in
time to come.
PR-31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue
[is] the law of
kindness.
PR-31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and
eateth not the
bread of idleness.
PR-31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her
husband [also], and
he praiseth her.
PR-31:29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou
excellest them all.
PR-31:30 Favour [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a
woman [that]
feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
PR-31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own
works praise her
in the gates.
