H1697
The words
H4428
of king
H3927
Lemuel,
H4853
the prophecy
H517
that his mother
H3256 [H8765]
taught him.
2
H1248
What, my son?
H1248
and what, the son
H990
of my womb?
H1248
and what, the son
H5088
of my vows?
3
H5414 [H8799]
Give
H2428
not thy strength
H802
to women,
H1870
nor thy ways
H4229 [H8687]
to that which wipeth out
H4428
kings.
4
H4428
It is not for kings,
H3927
O Lemuel,
H4428
it is not for kings
H8354 [H8800]
to drink
H3196
wine;
H335 H176 [H8675]
nor for
H7336 [H8802]
princes
H7941
strong drink:
5
H8354 [H8799]
Lest they drink,
H7911 [H8799]
and forget
H2710 [H8794]
the decree,
H8138 [H8762]
and pervert
H1779
the judgment
H1121 H6040
of any of the depressed.
6
H5414 [H8798]
Give
H7941
strong drink
H6 [H8802]
to him that is ready to perish,
H3196
and wine
H4751
to those that are bitter
H5315
in breath.
7
H8354 [H8799]
Let him drink,
H7911 [H8799]
and forget
H7389
his poverty,
H2142 [H8799]
and remember
H5999
his misery no more.
8
H6605 [H8798]
Open
H6310
thy mouth
H483
for the dumb
H1779
in the cause
H1121
of all the sons
H2475
of the surviving.
9
H6605 [H8798]
Open
H6310
thy mouth,
H8199 [H8798]
judge
H6664
righteously,
H1777 [H8798]
and plead
H6041
the cause of the poor
H34
and needy.
10
H4672 [H8799]
Who can find
H2428
a virtuous
H802
woman?
H4377
for her price
H7350
is far
H6443
above rubies.
11
H3820
The heart
H1167
of her husband
H982 [H8804]
doth safely trust
H2637 [H8799]
in her, so that he shall have no need
H7998
of spoil.
12
H1580 [H8804]
She will do
H2896
him good
H7451
and not evil
H3117
all the days
H2416
of her life.
13
H1875 [H8804]
She seeketh
H6785
wool,
H6593
and flax,
H6213 [H8799]
and worketh
H2656
willingly
H3709
with her palms.
14
H5503 [H8802]
She is like the merchant
H591
ships;
H935 [H8686]
she bringeth
H3899
her food
H4801
from afar.
15
H6965 [H8799]
She riseth
H3915
also while it is yet night,
H5414 [H8799]
and giveth
H2964
food
H1004
to her household,
H2706
and a portion
H5291
to her damsels.
16
H2161 [H8804]
She considereth
H7704
a field,
H3947 [H8799]
and buyeth
H6529
it: with the fruit
H3709
of her palms
H5193 [H8804]
she planteth
H3754
a vineyard.
17
H2296 [H8804]
She girdeth
H4975
her loins
H5797
with strength,
H553 [H8762]
and strengtheneth
H2220
her arms.
18
H2938 [H8804]
She perceiveth
H5504
that her merchandise
H2896
is good:
H5216
her lamp
H3518 [H8799]
goeth not out
H3915
by night.
19
H7971 [H8765]
She layeth
H3027
her hands
H3601
to the spindle,
H3709
and her palms
H8551 [H8804]
hold
H6418
the distaff.
20
H6566 [H8804]
She stretcheth out
H3709
her palm
H6041
to the poor;
H7971 [H8765]
yea, she reacheth forth
H3027
her hands
H34
to the needy.
21
H3372 [H8799]
She is not afraid
H7950
of the snow
H1004
for her household:
H1004
for all her household
H3847 [H8803]
are clothed
H8144
with scarlet.
22
H6213 [H8804]
She maketh
H4765
herself coverings of tapestry;
H3830
her clothing
H8336
is silk
H713
and purple.
23
H1167
Her husband
H3045 [H8737]
is known
H8179
in the gates,
H3427 [H8800]
when he sitteth
H2205
among the elders
H776
of the land.
24
H6213 [H8804]
She maketh
H5466
fine linen,
H9001
and
H4376 [H8799]
selleth it;
H9002
and
H5414 [H8804]
giveth
H2289
waistbands
H9005
to
H3669
the merchant.
25
H5797
Strength
H1926
and honour
H3830
are her clothing;
H7832 [H8799]
and she laugheth
H314
at the latter
H3117
day.
26
H6605 [H8804]
She openeth
H6310
her mouth
H2451
with wisdom;
H3956
and on her tongue
H8451
is the law
H2617
of mercy.
27
H6822 [H8802]
She looketh well
H1979 H1979 [H8675]
to the ways
H1004
of her household,
H398 [H8799]
and eateth
H3899
not the bread
H6104
of idleness.
28
H1121
Her sons
H6965 [H8804]
rise up,
H833 [H8762]
and call her blessed;
H1167
her husband
H1984 [H8762]
also, and he praiseth her.
29
H7227
Many
H1323
daughters
H6213 [H8804]
have done
H2428
virtuously,
H5927 [H8804]
but thou excellest them all.
