The words [1697] of king [4428] Lemuel, [3927] the prophecy [4853] that his mother [0517] taught [3256] him.

2

What, my son? [1248] and what, the son [1248] of my womb? [0990] and what, the son [1248] of my vows? [5088]

3

Give [5414] not thy strength [2428] unto women, [0802] nor thy ways [1870] to that which destroyeth [4229] kings. [4428]

4

[It is] not for kings, [4428] O Lemuel, [3927] [it is] not for kings [4428] to drink [8354] wine; [3196] nor for princes [7336] [0335][0176] strong drink: [7941]

5

Lest they drink, [8354] and forget [7911] the law, [2710] and pervert [8138] the judgment [1779] of any of the afflicted. [1121] [6040]

6

Give [5414] strong drink [7941] unto him that is ready to perish, [0006] and wine [3196] unto those that be of heavy [4751] hearts. [5315]

7

Let him drink, [8354] and forget [7911] his poverty, [7389] and remember [2142] his misery [5999] no more.

8

Open [6605] thy mouth [6310] for the dumb [0483] in the cause [1779] of all such as are appointed [1121] to destruction. [2475]

9

Open [6605] thy mouth, [6310] judge [8199] righteously, [6664] and plead [1777] the cause of the poor [6041] and needy. [0034]

10

Who can find [4672] a virtuous [2428] woman? [0802] for her price [4377] [is] far [7350] above rubies. [6443]

11

The heart [3820] of her husband [1167] doth safely trust [0982] in her, so that he shall have no need [2637] of spoil. [7998]

12

She will do [1580] him good [2896] and not evil [7451] all the days [3117] of her life. [2416]

13

She seeketh [1875] wool, [6785] and flax, [6593] and worketh [6213] willingly [2656] with her hands. [3709]

14

She is like the merchants' [5503] ships; [0591] she bringeth [0935] her food [3899] from afar. [4801]

15

She riseth [6965] also while it is yet night, [3915] and giveth [5414] meat [2964] to her household, [1004] and a portion [2706] to her maidens. [5291]

16

She considereth [2161] a field, [7704] and buyeth [3947] it: with the fruit [6529] of her hands [3709] she planteth [5193] a vineyard. [3754]

17

She girdeth [2296] her loins [4975] with strength, [5797] and strengtheneth [0553] her arms. [2220]

18

She perceiveth [2938] that her merchandise [5504] [is] good: [2896] her candle [5216] goeth not out [3518] by night. [3915]

19

She layeth [7971] her hands [3027] to the spindle, [3601] and her hands [3709] hold [8551] the distaff. [6418]

20

She stretcheth [6566] out her hand [3709] to the poor; [6041] yea, she reacheth forth [7971] her hands [3027] to the needy. [0034]

21

She is not afraid [3372] of the snow [7950] for her household: [1004] for all her household [1004] [are] clothed [3847] with scarlet. [8144]

22

She maketh [6213] herself coverings of tapestry; [4765] her clothing [3830] [is] silk [8336] and purple. [0713]

23

Her husband [1167] is known [3045] in the gates, [8179] when he sitteth [3427] among the elders [2205] of the land. [0776]

24

She maketh [6213] fine linen, [5466] and selleth [4376] [it]; and delivereth [5414] girdles [2289] unto the merchant. [3669]

25

Strength [5797] and honour [1926] [are] her clothing; [3830] and she shall rejoice [7832] in time [3117] to come. [0314]

26

She openeth [6605] her mouth [6310] with wisdom; [2451] and in her tongue [3956] [is] the law [8451] of kindness. [2617]

27

She looketh well [6822] to the ways [1979] [1979] of her household, [1004] and eateth [0398] not the bread [3899] of idleness. [6104]

28

Her children [1121] arise up, [6965] and call her blessed; [0833] her husband [1167] [also], and he praiseth [1984] her.

29

Many [7227] daughters [1323] have done [6213] virtuously, [2428] but thou excellest [5927] them all.

30

Favour [2580] [is] deceitful, [8267] and beauty [3308] [is] vain: [1892] [but] a woman [0802] [that] feareth [3373] the LORD, [3068] she shall be praised. [1984]

31

Give [5414] her of the fruit [6529] of her hands; [3027] and let her own works [4639] praise [1984] her in the gates. [8179]
