The Sayings of King Lemuel
Chapter 31
-
The sayings of King Lemuel contain this message, which his mother taught him.
-
O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows,
-
do not waste your strength on women, on those who ruin kings.
-
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, to guzzle wine. Rulers should not crave alcohol.
-
For if they drink, they may forget the law and not give justice to the oppressed.
-
Alcohol is for the dying, and wine for those in bitter distress.
-
Let them drink to forget their poverty and remember their troubles no more.
-
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.
-
Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.A Wife of Noble Character
-
Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.
-
Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.
-
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
-
She finds wool and flax and busily spins it.
-
She is like a merchant's ship, bringing her food from afar.
-
She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day's work for her servant girls.
-
She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
-
She is energetic and strong, a hard worker.
-
She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.
-
Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber.
-
She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.
-
She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes.
-
She makes her own bedspreads. She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
-
Her husband is well known at the city gates, where he sits with the other civic leaders.
-
She makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants.
-
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.
-
When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.
-
She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.
-
Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her:
-
"There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!"
-
Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.
-
Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.
