nkjv@Proverbs:31:1 @ The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him:

nkjv@Proverbs:31:2 @ What, my son? And what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows?

nkjv@Proverbs:31:3 @ Do not give your strength to women, Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:4 @ It is not for kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to drink wine, Nor for princes intoxicating drink;

nkjv@Proverbs:31:5 @ Lest they drink and forget the law, And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:6 @ Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to those who are bitter of heart.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:7 @ Let him drink and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:8 @ Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:9 @ Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:10 @ Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:11 @ The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:12 @ She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:13 @ She seeks wool and flax, And willingly works with her hands.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:14 @ She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:15 @ She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:16 @ She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:17 @ She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:18 @ She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her lamp does not go out by night.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:19 @ She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:20 @ She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:21 @ She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:22 @ She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:23 @ Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:24 @ She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:25 @ Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:26 @ She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:27 @ She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:28 @ Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:

nkjv@Proverbs:31:29 @ "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all."

nkjv@Proverbs:31:30 @ Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

nkjv@Proverbs:31:31 @ Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.
