What, my sonH1248? and what, the sonH1248 of my wombH990? and what, the sonH1248 of my vowsH5088?
GiveH5414 not thy strengthH2428 unto womenH802, nor thy waysH1870 to that which destroyethH4229 kingsH4428.
It is not for kingsH4428, O LemuelH3927, it is not for kingsH4428 to drinkH8354 wineH3196; nor forH335+H176 princesH7336 strong drinkH7941:
Lest they drinkH8354, and forgetH7911 the lawH2710, and pervertH8138 the judgmentH1779 of any of the afflictedH1121+H6040. {prevert: Heb. alter} {of any…: Heb. of all the sons of affliction}
GiveH5414 strong drinkH7941 unto him that is ready to perishH6, and wineH3196 unto those that be of heavyH4751 heartsH5315. {of…: Heb. bitter of soul}
Let him drinkH8354, and forgetH7911 his povertyH7389, and rememberH2142 his miseryH5999 no more.
OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310 for the dumbH483 in the causeH1779 of all such as are appointedH1121 to destructionH2475. {such…: Heb. the sons of destruction}
OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310, judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664, and pleadH1777 the cause of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
Who can findH4672 a virtuousH2428 womanH802? for her priceH4377 is farH7350 above rubiesH6443.
The heartH3820 of her husbandH1167 doth safely trustH982 in her, so that he shall have no needH2637 of spoilH7998.
She will doH1580 him goodH2896 and not evilH7451 all the daysH3117 of her lifeH2416.
She seekethH1875 woolH6785, and flaxH6593, and workethH6213 willinglyH2656 with her handsH3709.
She is like the merchants'H5503 shipsH591; she bringethH935 her foodH3899 from afarH4801.
She risethH6965 also while it is yet nightH3915, and givethH5414 meatH2964 to her householdH1004, and a portionH2706 to her maidensH5291.
She considerethH2161 a fieldH7704, and buyethH3947 it: with the fruitH6529 of her handsH3709 she plantethH5193 a vineyardH3754. {buyeth: Heb. taketh}
She girdethH2296 her loinsH4975 with strengthH5797, and strengthenethH553 her armsH2220.
She perceivethH2938 that her merchandiseH5504 is goodH2896: her candleH5216 goeth not outH3518 by nightH3915. {She…: Heb. She tasteth}
She layethH7971 her handsH3027 to the spindleH3601, and her handsH3709 holdH8551 the distaffH6418.
She stretcheth outH6566 her handH3709 to the poorH6041; yea, she reacheth forthH7971 her handsH3027 to the needyH34. {She…: Heb. She spreadeth}
She is not afraidH3372 of the snowH7950 for her householdH1004: for all her householdH1004 are clothedH3847 with scarletH8144. {scarlet: or, double garments}
She makethH6213 herself coverings of tapestryH4765; her clothingH3830 is silkH8336 and purpleH713.
Her husbandH1167 is knownH3045 in the gatesH8179, when he sittethH3427 among the eldersH2205 of the landH776.
She makethH6213 fine linenH5466, and sellethH4376 it; and deliverethH5414 girdlesH2289 unto the merchantH3669.
StrengthH5797 and honourH1926 are her clothingH3830; and she shall rejoiceH7832 in timeH3117 to comeH314.
She openethH6605 her mouthH6310 with wisdomH2451; and in her tongueH3956 is the lawH8451 of kindnessH2617.
She looketh wellH6822 to the waysH1979+H1979 of her householdH1004, and eatethH398 not the breadH3899 of idlenessH6104.
Her childrenH1121 arise upH6965, and call her blessedH833; her husbandH1167 also, and he praisethH1984 her.
ManyH7227 daughtersH1323 have doneH6213 virtuouslyH2428, but thou excellestH5927 them all. {have…: or, have gotten riches}
FavourH2580 is deceitfulH8267, and beautyH3308 is vainH1892: but a womanH802 that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068, she shall be praisedH1984.
GiveH5414 her of the fruitH6529 of her handsH3027; and let her own worksH4639 praiseH1984 her in the gatesH8179.
