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