Speak Out for Justice
31The words of King Lemuel, the strong advice his mother gave him:H16972"Oh, son of mine, what can you be thinking of! Child whom I bore! The son I dedicated to God!H1248H1248H990H1248H5088
3Don't dissipate your virility on fortune-hunting women, promiscuous women who shipwreck leaders.H5414H2428H802H1870H4229H4428
4"Leaders can't afford to make fools of themselves, gulping wine and swilling beer,H4428H3927H4428H8354H3196H335H176H7336H7941
5Lest, hung over, they don't know right from wrong, and the people who depend on them are hurt.H8354H7911H2710H8138H1779H1121H6040
6Use wine and beer only as sedatives, to kill the pain and dull the acheH5414H7941H6H3196H4751H5315
7Of the terminally ill, for whom life is a living death.H8354H7911H7389H2142H5999
8"Speak up for the people who have no voice, for the rights of all the down-and-outers.H6605H6310H483H1779H1121H2475
9Speak out for justice! Stand up for the poor and destitute!"H6605H6310H8199H6664H1777H6041H34 H2428H802H4377H7350H6443
Hymn to a Good Wife
10A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds.H467211Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it.H3820H1167H982H2637H7998
12Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long.H1580H2896H7451H3117H2416
13She shops around for the best yarns and cottons, and enjoys knitting and sewing.H1875H6785H6593H6213H2656H3709
14She's like a trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises.H5503H591H935H3899H4801
15She's up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day.H6965H3915H5414H2964H1004H2706H5291
16She looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she's put aside, plants a garden.H2161H7704H3947H6529H3709H5193H3754
17First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.H2296H4975H5797H553H2220
18She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.H2938H5504H2896H5216H3518H3915
19She's skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking.H7971H3027H3601H3709H8551H6418
20She's quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out to help the poor.H6566H3709H6041H7971H3027H34
21She doesn't worry about her family when it snows; their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.H3372H7950H1004H1004H3847H8144
22She makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks.H6213H4765H3830H8336H713
23Her husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers.H1167H3045H8179H3427H2205H776
24She designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops.H6213H5466H4376H5414H2289H3669
25Her clothes are well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.H5797H1926H3830H7832H3117H314
26When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly.H6605H6310H2451H3956H8451H2617 
27She keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive.H6822H1979H1979H1004H398H3899H6104
28Her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise:H1121H6965H833H1167H1984
29"Many women have done wonderful things, but you've outclassed them all!"H7227H1323H6213H2428H5927 
New Testament
30Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-GOD.H2580H8267H3308H1892H802H3373H3068H1984
31Give her everything she deserves! Festoon her life with praises!H5414H6529H3027H4639H1984H8179
