H1697
The words
H4428
of king
H3927
Lemuel,
H4853
the prophecy
H517
that his mother
H3256
taught him.
2
H4100
What,
H1248
my son?
H4100
and what,
H1248
the son
H990
of my womb?
H4100
and what,
H1248
the son
H5088
of my vows?
3
H5414
Give
H2428
not your strength
H802
to women,
H1870
nor your ways
H4229
to that which destroys
H4428
kings.
4
H4428
It is not for kings,
H3927
O Lemuel,
H4428
it is not for kings
H8354
to drink
H3196
wine;
H408
nor
H7336
for princes
H7941
strong drink:
5
H6435
Lest
H8354
they drink,
H7911
and forget
H2710
the law,
H8138
and pervert
H1779
the judgment
H3605
of any
H6040
of the afflicted.
6
H5414
Give
H7941
strong drink
H4131
to him that is ready
H6
to perish,
H3196
and wine
H4751
to those that be of heavy
H5315
hearts.
7
H8354
Let him drink,
H7911
and forget
H7389
his poverty,
H2142
and remember
H5999
his misery
H3808
no
H5750
more.
8
H6605
Open
H6310
your mouth
H483
for the dumb
H1779
in the cause
H3605
of all
H1121
such as are appointed
H2475
to destruction.
9
H6605
Open
H6310
your mouth,
H8199
judge
H6664
righteously,
H1777
and plead
H6041
the cause of the poor
H34
and needy.
10
H4310
Who
H4672
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
does safely trust
H3808
in her, so that he shall have no
H2637
need
H7998
of spoil.
13
H1875
She seeks
H6785
wool,
H6593
and flax,
H6213
and works
H2656
willingly
H3709
with her hands.
15
H6965
She rises
H5750
also while it is yet
H3915
night,
H5414
and gives
H2964
meat
H1004
to her household,
H2706
and a portion
H5291
to her maidens.
16
H2161
She considers
H7704
a field,
H3947
and buys
H6529
it: with the fruit
H3709
of her hands
H5195
she plants
H3754
a vineyard.
18
H2938
She perceives
H5504
that her merchandise
H2896
is good:
H5216
her candle
H3518
goes
H3915
not out by night.
19
H7971
She lays
H3027
her hands
H3601
to the spindle,
H3709
and her hands
H8551
hold
H6418
the distaff.
20
H6566
She stretches
H3709
out her hand
H6041
to the poor;
H7971
yes, she reaches
H6566
forth
H3027
her hands
H34
to the needy.
21
H3372
She is not afraid
H7950
of the snow
H1004
for her household:
H3605
for all
H1004
her household
H3847
are clothed
H8144
with scarlet.
22
H6213
She makes
H4765
herself coverings
H3830
of tapestry; her clothing
H8336
is silk
H713
and purple.
23
H1167
Her husband
H3045
is known
H8179
in the gates,
H3427
when he sits
H5973
among
H2205
the elders
H776
of the land.
24
H6213
She makes
H5466
fine linen,
H4376
and sells
H5414
it; and delivers
H2290
girdles
H5503
to the merchant.
25
H5797
Strength
H1926
and honor
H3830
are her clothing;
H7832
and she shall rejoice
H3117
in time
H314
to come.
26
H6605
She opens
H6310
her mouth
H2451
with wisdom;
H3956
and in her tongue
H8451
is the law
H2617
of kindness.
27
H6822
She looks
H6822
well
H1979
to the ways
H1004
of her household,
H398
and eats
H3899
not the bread
H6104
of idleness.
28
H1121
Her children
H6965
arise
H833
up, and call
H833
her blessed;
H1167
her husband
H1984
also, and he praises her.
