1Sayings of King Lemuel of Massa, which his mother taught him:

2What shall I say to you, my son, child of my womb and answer to my prayers?

3Do not give the vigour of your manhood to women, or consort with women who bring down kings.

4Lemuel, it is not for kings, not for kings to drink wine, or for those who govern to crave strong liquor.

5If they drink, they will forget rights and customs and twist the law against all who are defenceless.

6Give strong drink to the despairing and wine to the embittered of heart;

7let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their trouble no more.

8Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; oppose any that go to law against them;

9speak out and pronounce just sentence and give judgement for the wretched and the poor.

A good wife

10WHO can find a good wife? Her worth is far beyond red coral.

11Her husband's whole trust is in her, and children are not lacking.

12She works to bring him good, not evil, all the days of her life.

13She chooses wool and flax and with a will she sets about her work.

14Like a ship laden with merchandise she brings home food from far off.

15She rises while it is still dark and apportions food for her household, with a due share for her servants.

16After careful thought she buys a field and plants a vineyard out of her earnings.

17She sets about her duties resolutely and tackles her work with vigour.

18She sees that her business goes well, and all night long her lamp does not go out.

19She holds the distaff in her hand, and her fingers grasp the spindle.

20She is open-handed to the wretched and extends help to the poor.

21When it snows she has no fear for her household, for they are wrapped in double cloaks.

22She makes her own bed coverings and clothing of fine linen and purple.

23Her husband is well known in the assembly, where he takes his seat with the elders of the region.

24She weaves linen and sells it, and supplies merchants with sashes.

25She is clothed in strength and dignity and can afford to laugh at tomorrow.

26When she opens her mouth, it is to speak wisely; her teaching is sound.

27She keeps her eye on the conduct of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28Her sons with one accord extol her virtues; her husband too is loud in her praise:

29“Many a woman shows how gifted she is; but you excel them all.”

30Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; but the woman who fears the LORD is honoured.

31Praise her for all she has accomplished; let her achievements bring her honour at the city gates.
