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}

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.

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 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.

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.
