Chapter 31
The
wordes
of
King
Lemuel,
the
prophecie
that
his
mother
taught
him.
2
What,
my
sonne!
and
what,
the
sonne
of
my
wombe!
and
what,
the
sonne
of
my
vowes!
3
Giue
not
thy
strength
vnto
women,
nor
thy
wayes
to
that
which
destroyeth
kings.
4
It
is
not
for
kings,
O
Lemuel,
it
is
not
for
kings
to
drinke
wine,
nor
for
Princes,
strong
drinke:
5
Lest
they
drinke,
and
forget
the
Law,
and
peruert
the
iudgement
of
any
of
the
afflicted.
6
Giue
strong
drinke
vnto
him
that
is
ready
to
perish,
and
wine
vnto
those
that
be
of
heauie
hearts.
7
Let
him
drinke,
and
forget
his
pouertie,
and
remember
his
misery
no
more.
8
Open
thy
mouth
for
the
dumbe
in
the
cause
of
all
such
as
are
appointed
to
destruction.
9
Open
thy
mouth,
iudge
righteously,
and
plead
the
cause
of
the
poore
and
needy.
10
Who
can
finde
a
vertuous
woman?
for
her
price
is
farre
aboue
Rubies.
11
The
heart
of
her
husband
doeth
safely
trust
in
her,
so
that
he
shall
haue
no
need
of
spoile.
12
She
will
doe
him
good,
and
not
euill,
all
the
dayes
of
her
life.
13
She
seeketh
wooll
and
flaxe,
and
worketh
willingly
with
her
hands.
14
She
is
like
the
merchants
ships,
she
bringeth
her
food
from
afarre.
15
Shee
riseth
also
while
it
is
yet
night,
and
giueth
meate
to
her
household,
and
a
portion
to
her
maydens.
16
She
considereth
a
field,
and
buyeth
it:
with
the
fruit
of
her
handes
she
planteth
a
Uineyard.
17
She
girdeth
her
loynes
with
strength,
and
strengtheneth
her
armes.
18
She
perceiueth
that
her
merchandise
is
good;
her
candle
goeth
not
out
by
night.
19
She
layeth
her
handes
to
the
spindle,
and
her
handes
hold
the
distaffe.
20
She
stretcheth
out
her
hand
to
the
poore,
yea
she
reacheth
foorth
her
handes
to
the
needy.
21
She
is
not
afraid
of
the
snow
for
her
houshold:
for
all
her
houshold
are
cloathed
with
scarlet.
22
She
maketh
herselfe
couerings
of
tapestrie;
her
cloathing
is
silke
and
purple.
23
Her
husband
is
knowen
in
the
gates,
when
he
sitteth
among
the
Elders
of
the
land.
24
She
maketh
fine
linnen,
and
selleth
it,
and
deliuereth
girdles
vnto
the
merchant.
25
Strength
and
honour
are
her
cloathing;
and
she
shall
reioyce
in
time
to
come.
26
She
openeth
her
mouth
with
wisedome;
and
in
her
tongue
is
the
law
of
kindnesse.
27
She
looketh
well
to
the
wayes
of
her
housholde,
and
eateth
not
the
bread
of
idlenesse.
28
Her
children
arise
vp,
and
call
her
blessed;
her
husband
also,
and
he
praiseth
her.
29
Many
daughters
haue
done
vertuously,
but
thou
excellest
them
all.
30
Fauour
is
deceitfull,
and
beautie
is
vaine:
but
a
woman
that
feareth
the
Lord,
she
shalbe
praised.
31
Giue
her
of
the
fruit
of
her
hands,
and
let
her
owne
workes
praise
her
in
the
gates.
