    Proverbs 31
    • 1   The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.
    • 2   “Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
    • 3   Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
    • 4   It is not for kings, Lemuel; it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
    • 5   lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
    • 6   Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:
    • 7   Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
    • 8   Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
    • 9   Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”
    • 10   Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.
    • 11   The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.
    • 12   She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
    • 13   She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.
    • 14   She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
    • 15   She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.
    • 16   She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
    • 17   She arms her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
    • 18   She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn’t go out by night.
    • 19   She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
    • 20   She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends 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 makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
    • 23   Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
    • 24   She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant.
    • 25   Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
    • 26   She opens her mouth with wisdom. Faithful instruction is on her tongue.
    • 27   She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn’t eat the bread of idleness.
    • 28   Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
    • 29   “Many women do noble things, but you excel them all.”
    • 30   Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.
    • 31   Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!
