1 The words of king Lemuel; the burden wherewith his mother corrected him.

2 What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? and what, O son of my vows?

3 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 drink wine: nor for princes to say: 'Where is strong drink?'
|
|
�������-���������, ����������� ��������; �� ����������, ����� ����-������-�����.
|
5 Lest they drink, and forget that which is decreed, and pervert the justice due to any that is afflicted.

|
6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter in soul;

|
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. {P}

9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. {P}

10 A woman of valour who can find? for her price is far above rubies.
|

���������� �����, ��� ���������; �� ��������, ��� �������.
|
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, and he hath no lack of gain.
|

���������������� ���� �����-���-- �� ����, ����� ��������.
|
12 She doeth him good and not evil all the days of her life.
|

�������������, ����� ������������; �� ���������, �������� ���������.
|
13 She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
|
|
�����������, ������������ ������; �� ����������, ������� ��������.
|
14 She is like the merchant-ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
|
|
������������, ������� �������--��������� ����� ���������; �� �����, �������������.
|
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth food to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
|

����������� ������, �������������; �� �������� ��������, ��� (�������) ������.
|
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it; with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

|
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and maketh strong her arms.
|

�����������, ����-���� ��������; �� ���-�������� ���� (����������) ������.
|
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good; her lamp goeth not out by night.
|
|
�����������, ��������� �����������; �� ����������, �������� ������.
|
19 She layeth her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
|
|
�����������, ��������� �������; �� ���������, ��������� ����������.
|
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
|
|
�������-������ ��������� ���������: �� ���� ���-��������, ������ �������.
|
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
|
|
��������������� ��������-�����; �� ����� ������������ ����������.
|
22 She maketh for herself coverlets; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
|
|
���������� ������������� ���������; �� ������������, ���-�������-�����.
|
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
|
|
���������� ��������, �����������; �� ��������, ������� ������������.
|
24 She maketh linen garments and selleth them; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
|
|
�������-������� ����������; �� �����������, ������ ��������.
|
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing; and she laugheth at the time to come.
|
|
����������, �������� ���������; �� �������� �����, ���-����������.
|
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and the law of kindness is on her tongue.
|
|
�������������, ������ (���������) ��������; �� ������� ��������, ��� ������.
|
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
|
|
��������� �������, ���������������; �� ���������, ������������.
|
28 Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her:
|
|
����������� �������, ������ �����; �� �������, ������ ���-���������.
|
29 'Many daughters have done valiantly, but thou excellest them all.'
|
|
��������� �����, ������� ��������: �� ������� �������-������, ���� ����������.
|
30 Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
|

����������-����, �������� �������; �� ������������ ������������ ����������.� {�}
|
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her works praise her in the gates. {P}
