1The words^H1697 of King^H4428 Lemuel,^H3927 the oracle^H9294 which^H834 his mother^H517 taught^H3256 him.
2What,^H4100 O my son^H1248? And what,^H4100 O son^H1248 of my womb^H990? And what,^H4100 O son^H1248 of my vows^H5088?
3Do not give^H5414 your strength^H2428 to women,^H802 Or your ways^H1870 to that which destroys^H4229 kings.^H4428
4It is not for kings,^H4428 O Lemuel,^H3927 It is not for kings^H4428 to drink^H7941 wine,^H3196 Or for rulers^H7336 to desire^H9001 strong^H7941 drink,^H8354
5Lest^H6435 they drink^H8354 and forget^H7911 what is decreed,^H2710 And pervert^H8132 the rights^H1779 of all^H3605 the afflicted.^H1121H6040
6Give^H5414 strong^H7941 drink^H7941 to him who is perishing, And wine^H6 to him whose life^H3196 is bitter.^H5315
7Let him drink^H8354 and forget^H7911 his poverty,^H7389 And remember^H2142 his trouble^H5999 no^H3808 more.^H5750
8Open^H6605 your mouth^H6310 for the dumb,^H483 For the rights^H1779 of all^H3605 the unfortunate.^H2475H1121
9Open^H6605 your mouth,^H6310 judge^H8199 righteously,^H6664 And defend^H1777 the rights^H1779 of the afflicted^H6041 and needy.^H34
10An excellent^H2428 wife,^H802 who^H4310 can find^H4672? For her worth^H4377 is far^H7350 above^H4480 jewels.^H6443
11The heart^H3820 of her husband^H1167 trusts^H982 in her, And he will have^H2637 no^H3808 lack^H2637 of gain.^H7998
12She does^H1580 him good^H9185 and not evil^H9563 All^H3605 the days^H3117 of her life.^H9132
13She looks^H1875 for wool^H6785 and flax,^H6593 And works^H6213 with her hands^H3709 in delight.^H2656
14She is like merchant^H5503 ships;^H591 She brings^H935 her food^H3899 from afar.^H4801
15She rises^H6965 also while it is still^H5750 night,^H3915 And gives^H5414 food^H2964 to her household,^H1004 And portions^H2706 to her maidens.^H5291
16She considers^H2161 a field^H7704 and buys^H3947 it; From her earnings^H6529H3709 she plants^H5193 a vineyard.^H3754
17She girds^H2296 herself^H4975 with strength,^H5797 And makes^H553 her arms^H2220 strong.^H553
18She senses^H2938 that her gain^H5504 is good;^H2896 Her lamp^H5216 does not go^H3518 out at night.^H3915
19She stretches^H7971 out her hands^H3027 to the distaff,^H3601 And her hands^H3709 grasp^H8551 the spindle.^H6418
20She extends^H6566 her hand^H3027 to the poor;^H6041 And she stretches^H7971 out her hands^H3027 to the needy.^H34
21She is not afraid^H3372 of the snow^H7950 for her household,^H1004 For all^H3605 her household^H1004 are clothed^H3847 with scarlet.^H8144
22She makes^H6213 coverings^H4765 for herself; Her clothing^H3830 is fine^H8336 linen^H8336 and purple.^H713
23Her husband^H1167 is known^H3045 in the gates,^H8179 When he sits^H3427 among^H5973 the elders^H2205 of the land.^H776
24She makes^H6213 linen^H5466 garments^H5466 and sells^H4376 [them,] And supplies^H5414 belts^H2290 to the tradesmen.^H9211
25Strength^H5797 and dignity^H1926 are her clothing,^H3830 And she smiles^H7832 at the future.^H314H3117
26She opens^H6605 her mouth^H6310 in wisdom,^H2451 And the teaching^H8451 of kindness^H2617 is on her tongue.^H3956
27She looks^H6822 well^H6822 to the ways^H1979 of her household,^H1004 And does not eat^H398 the bread^H3899 of idleness.^H6104
28Her children^H1121 rise^H6965 up and bless^H833 her; Her husband^H1167 [also,] and he praises^H1984 her, [saying: ]
29"Many^H7227 daughters^H1323 have done^H6213 nobly,^H2428 But you excel^H5927 them all.^H3605"
30Charm^H2580 is deceitful^H8267 and beauty^H3308 is vain,^H1892 [But] a woman^H802 who fears^H3372 the Lord,^H3068 she shall be praised.^H1984
31Give^H5414 her the product^H6529 of her hands,^H3027 And let her works^H4639 praise^H1984 her in the gates.^H8179
