1the words of king lemuel. an oracle that his mother taught him

2what are you doing, my son? what are you doing, son of my womb?

what are you doing, son of my vows?

3do not give your strength to women
your ways to those who destroy kings

4it is not for kings, o lemuel
it is not for kings to drink wine
or for rulers to take strong drink

5lest they drink and forget what has been decreed
and pervert the rights of all the afflicted

6give strong drink to the one who is perishing
and wine to those in bitter distress; fn

7let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more

8open your mouth for the mute
for the rights of all who are dest-tute.fn

9open your mouth, judge righteously
defend the rights of the poor and needy

10fn an excellent wife who can find?
she is far more precious than jewels

11the heart of her husband trusts in her
and he will have no lack of gain

12she does him good, and not harm
all the days of her life

13she seeks wool and flax
and works with willing hands

14she is like the ships of the merchant
she brings her food from afar

15she rises while it is yet night
and provides food for her household
and portions for her maidens

16she considers a field and buys it
with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard

17she dresses herselffn with strength
and makes her arms strong

18she perceives that her merchandise is profitable
her lamp does not go out at night

19she puts her hands to the distaff
and her hands hold the spindle

20she opens her hand to the poor
and reaches out her hands to the needy

21she is not afraid of snow for her household
for all her household are clothed in scarlet.fn

22she makes bed coverings for herself
her clothing is fine linen and purple

23her husband is known in the gates
when he sits among the elders of the land

24she makes linen garments and sells them
she delivers sashes to the merchant

25strength and dignity are her clothing
and she laughs at the time to come

26she opens her mouth with wisdom
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue

27she looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness

28her children rise up and call her blessed
her husband also, and he praises her

29″many women have done excellently
but you surp-ss them all.”

30charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain
but a woman who fears the lord is to be praised

31give her of the fruit of her hands
and let her works praise her in the gates
