The Words of King Lemuel

31The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him:H1697H4428H3927H4853H517H3256 2What are you doing, my son? What are you doing, son of my womb? What are you doing, son of my vows?H1248H1248H990H1248H5088 3Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings.H5414H2428H802H1870H4229H4428 4It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink,H4428H3927H4428H8354H3196H335H176H7336H7941 5lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.H8354H7911H2710H8138H1779H1121H6040 6Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress;H5414H7941H6H3196H4751H5315 7let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.H8354H7911H7389H2142H5999 8Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.H6605H6310H483H1779H1121H2475 9Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.H6605H6310H8199H6664H1777H6041H34

The Woman Who Fears the Lord

10An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.H4672H2428H802H4377H7350H6443 11The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.H3820H1167H982H2637H7998 12She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.H1580H2896H7451H3117H2416 13She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.H1875H6785H6593H6213H2656H3709 14She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar.H5503H591H935H3899H4801 15She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens.H6965H3915H5414H2964H1004H2706H5291 16She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.H2161H7704H3947H6529H3709H5193H3754 17She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.H2296H4975H5797H553H2220 18She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.H2938H5504H2896H5216H3518H3915 19She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.H7971H3027H3601H3709H8551H6418 20She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.H6566H3709H6041H7971H3027H34 21She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.H3372H7950H1004H1004H3847H8144 22She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple.H6213H4765H3830H8336H713 23Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.H1167H3045H8179H3427H2205H776 24She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant.H6213H5466H4376H5414H2289H3669 25Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.H5797H1926H3830H7832H3117H314 26She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.H6605H6310H2451H3956H8451H2617 27She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.H6822H1979H1979H1004H398H3899H6104 28Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:H1121H6965H833H1167H1984 29"Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all."H7227H1323H6213H2428H5927 30Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.H2580H8267H3308H1892H802H3373H3068H1984 31Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.H5414H6529H3027H4639H1984H8179
