[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31]

PROV 31:1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him:
PROV 31:2 What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? and what, O son of my vows?
PROV 31:3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to them that destroy kings.
PROV 31:4 It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for rulers [to say], Where is the strong drink?
PROV 31:5 -- lest they drink and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the children of affliction.
PROV 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter of soul:
PROV 31:7 let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
PROV 31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all those that are left desolate.
PROV 31:9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and minister justice to the afflicted and needy.
PROV 31:10 Who can find a woman of worth? for her price is far above rubies.
PROV 31:11 The heart of her husband confideth in her, and he shall have no lack of spoil.
PROV 31:12 She doeth him good, and not evil, all the days of her life.
PROV 31:13 She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
PROV 31:14 She is like the merchants' ships: she bringeth her food from afar;
PROV 31:15 And she riseth while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and the day's work to her maidens.
PROV 31:16 She considereth a field, and acquireth it; of the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
PROV 31:17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and maketh strong her arms.
PROV 31:18 She perceiveth that her earning is good; her lamp goeth not out by night.
PROV 31:19 She putteth her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
PROV 31:20 She stretcheth out her hand to the afflicted, and she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
PROV 31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
PROV 31:22 She maketh herself coverlets; her clothing is byssus and purple.
PROV 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
PROV 31:24 She maketh body linen and selleth it, and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
PROV 31:25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laugheth [at] the coming day.
PROV 31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and upon her tongue is the law of kindness.
PROV 31:27 She surveyeth the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
PROV 31:28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband [also], and he praiseth her:
PROV 31:29 Many daughters have done worthily, but thou excellest them all.
PROV 31:30 Gracefulness is deceitful and beauty is vain; a woman [that] feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.
PROV 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.
