The Words of Lemuel
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 31
|
||||
1. The words of King Lemuel,
|
||||
a pronouncement that his mother taught him:
|
||||
|
||||
2. What should I say, my son?
|
||||
What, son of my womb?
|
||||
What, son of my vows?
|
||||
|
||||
3. Don't spend your energy on women
|
||||
or your efforts on those who destroy kings.
|
||||
|
||||
4. It is not for kings, Lemuel,
|
||||
it is not for kings to drink wine
|
||||
or for rulers to desire beer.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Otherwise, he will drink,
|
||||
forget what is decreed,
|
||||
and pervert justice for all the oppressed.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Give beer to one who is dying
|
||||
and wine to one whose life is bitter.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Let him drink so that he can forget his poverty
|
||||
and remember his trouble no more.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Speak up for those who have no voice,
|
||||
for the justice of all who are dispossessed.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Speak up, judge righteously,
|
||||
and defend the cause of the oppressed and needy.

In Praise of a Wife of Noble Character
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
10. Who can find a wife of noble character?
|
||||
She is far more precious than jewels.
|
||||
|
||||
11. The heart of her husband trusts in her,
|
||||
and he will not lack anything good.
|
||||
|
||||
12. She rewards him with good, not evil,
|
||||
all the days of her life.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
13. She selects wool and flax
|
||||
and works with willing hands.
|
||||
|
||||
14. She is like the merchant ships,
|
||||
bringing her food from far away.
|
||||
|
||||
15. She rises while it is still night
|
||||
and provides food for her household
|
||||
and portions for her female servants.
|
||||
|
||||
16. She evaluates a field and buys it;
|
||||
she plants a vineyard with her earnings.
|
||||
|
||||
17. She draws on her strength
|
||||
and reveals that her arms are strong.
|
||||
|
||||
18. She sees that her profits are good,
|
||||
and her lamp never goes out at night.
|
||||
|
||||
19. She extends her hands to the spinning staff,
|
||||
and her hands hold the spindle.
|
||||
|
||||
20. Her hands reach out to the poor,
|
||||
and she extends her hands to the needy.
|
||||
|
||||
21. She is not afraid for her household when it snows,
|
||||
for all in her household are doubly clothed.
|
||||
|
||||
22. She makes her own bed coverings;
|
||||
her clothing is fine linen and purple.
|
||||
|
||||
23. Her husband is known at the city gates,
|
||||
where he sits among the elders of the land.
|
||||
|
||||
24. She makes and sells linen garments;
|
||||
she delivers belts to the merchants.
|
||||
|
||||
25. Strength and honor are her clothing,
|
||||
and she can laugh at the time to come.
|
||||
|
||||
26. Her mouth speaks wisdom,
|
||||
and loving instruction is on her tongue.
|
||||
|
||||
27. She watches over the activities of her household
|
||||
and is never idle.
|
||||
|
||||
28. Her children rise up and call her blessed;
|
||||
her husband also praises her:
|
||||
|
||||
29. "Many women have done noble deeds,
|
||||
but you surpass them all!"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
30. Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,
|
||||
but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
|
||||
|
||||
31. Give her the reward of her labor,
|
||||
and let her works praise her at the city gates.
