| 1 | The words of Lemuel, king of Massa: the teaching which he had from his mother. | The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. |
| 2 | 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? | What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? |
| 3 | Do not give your strength to women, or your ways to that which is the destruction of kings. | Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. |
| 4 | It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to take wine, or for rulers to say, Where is strong drink? | It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: |
| 5 | 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. | Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. |
| 6 | Give strong drink to him who is near to destruction, and wine to him whose soul is bitter: | Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. |
| 7 | Let him have drink, and his need will go from his mind, and the memory of his trouble will be gone. | Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. |
| 8 | Let your mouth be open for those who have no voice, in the cause of those who are ready for death. | Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. |
| 9 | Let your mouth be open, judging rightly, and give right decisions in the cause of the poor and those in need. | Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. |
| 10 | Who may make discovery of a woman of virtue? For her price is much higher than jewels. | Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. |
| 11 | The heart of her husband has faith in her, and he will have profit in full measure. | The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. |
| 12 | She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. | She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. |
| 13 | She gets wool and linen, working at the business of her hands. | She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. |
| 14 | She is like the trading-ships, getting food from far away. | She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar. |
| 15 | She gets up while it is still night, and gives meat to her family, and their food to her servant-girls. | She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. |
| 16 | After looking at a field with care, she gets it for a price, planting a vine-garden with the profit of her work. | She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. |
| 17 | She puts a band of strength round her, and makes her arms strong. | She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. |
| 18 | She sees that her marketing is of profit to her: her light does not go out by night. | She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. |
| 19 | She puts her hands to the cloth-working rod, and her fingers take the wheel. | She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. |
| 20 | Her hands are stretched out to the poor; yes, she is open-handed to those who are in need. | She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. |
| 21 | She has no fear of the snow for her family, for all those in her house are clothed in red. | She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. |
| 22 | She makes for herself cushions of needlework; her clothing is fair linen and purple. | She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. |
| 23 | Her husband is a man of note in the public place, when he takes his seat among the responsible men of the land. | Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. |
| 24 | She makes linen robes and gets a price for them, and traders take her cloth bands for a price. | She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. |
| 25 | Strength and self-respect are her clothing; she is facing the future with a smile. | Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. |
| 26 | Her mouth is open to give out wisdom, and the law of mercy is on her tongue. | She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. |
| 27 | She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it. | She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. |
| 28 | Her children get up and give her honour, and her husband gives her praise, saying, | Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. |
| 29 | Unnumbered women have done well, but you are better than all of them. | Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. |
| 30 | 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. | Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. |
| 31 | Give her credit for what her hands have made: let her be praised by her works in the public place. | Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. |
