+Proverbs.
+Chapter 31.
+The words of Lemuel, king of Massa: the teaching which he had from his mother.
+What am I to say to you, O Lemuel, my oldest son? and what, O son of my body? and what, O son of my oaths?
+Do not give your strength to women, or your ways to that which is the destruction of kings.
+It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to take wine, or for rulers to say, Where is strong drink?
+For fear that through drinking they may come to have no respect for the law, wrongly judging the cause of those who are in trouble.
+Give strong drink to him who is near to destruction, and wine to him whose soul is bitter:
+Let him have drink, and his need will go from his mind, and the memory of his trouble will be gone.
+Let your mouth be open for those who have no voice, in the cause of those who are ready for death.
+Let your mouth be open, judging rightly, and give right decisions in the cause of the poor and those in need.
+Who may make discovery of a woman of virtue? For her price is much higher than jewels.
+The heart of her husband has faith in her, and he will have profit in full measure.
+She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.
+She gets wool and linen, working at the business of her hands.
+She is like the trading-ships, getting food from far away.
+She gets up while it is still night, and gives meat to her family, and their food to her servant-girls.
+After looking at a field with care, she gets it for a price, planting a vine-garden with the profit of her work.
+She puts a band of strength round her, and makes her arms strong.
+She sees that her marketing is of profit to her: her light does not go out by night.
+She puts her hands to the cloth-working rod, and her fingers take the wheel.
+Her hands are stretched out to the poor; yes, she is open-handed to those who are in need.
+She has no fear of the snow for her family, for all those in her house are clothed in red.
+She makes for herself cushions of needlework; her clothing is fair linen and purple.
+Her husband is a man of note in the public place, when he takes his seat among the responsible men of the land.
+She makes linen robes and gets a price for them, and traders take her cloth bands for a price.
+Strength and self-respect are her clothing; she is facing the future with a smile.
+Her mouth is open to give out wisdom, and the law of mercy is on her tongue.
+She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it.
+Her children get up and give her honour, and her husband gives her praise, saying,
+Unnumbered women have done well, but you are better than all of them.
+Fair looks are a deceit, and a beautiful form is of no value; but a woman who has the fear of the Lord is to be praised.
+Give her credit for what her hands have made: let her be praised by her works in the public place.
