Library > Bible versions > NIV > Proverbs > 31 > Proverbs   31 : 1 The sayings of King Lemuel--an oracle his mother taught him: 31 : 2 O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows, 31 : 3 do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings. 31 : 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel-- not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer, 31 : 5 lest they drink and forget what the law decrees, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights. 31 : 6 Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish; 31 : 7 let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more. 31 : 8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. 31 : 9 Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character 31 : 10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 31 : 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 31 : 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 31 : 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 31 : 14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 31 : 15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 31 : 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 31 : 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 31 : 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 31 : 19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 31 : 20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 31 : 21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 31 : 22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. 31 : 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 31 : 24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 31 : 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 31 : 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 31 : 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 31 : 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 31 : 29 Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. 31 : 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. 31 : 31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
