Pro 31:1 The wordes of king Lamuel, and the lesson that his mother taught him.
Pro 31:2 What my sonne? what the sonne of my body? and what O my deare beloued sonne?
Pro 31:3 Geue not ouer thy strength & wayes vnto women, which are the destruction euen of kynges.
Pro 31:4 O Lamuel, it is not for kynges, it is not [I say] for kynges to drynke wine, nor princes strong drynke.
Pro 31:5 Lest they by drnkyng forget the lawe, and peruert the iudgement of all poore mens children.
Pro 31:6 Geue strong drynke vnto such as are redy to perishe, and wine vnto those that mourne:
Pro 31:7 That they may drynke it, and forget their miserie and aduersitie.
Pro 31:8 Be thou an aduocate for the dumbe, [to speake] in the cause of all such as be succourlesse in this transitorie worlde.
Pro 31:9 Open thy mouth, defende the thyng that is lawfull and ryght, and the cause of the poore and helpelesse.
Pro 31:10 Who so fyndeth an honest faythfull woman, she is much more worth then pearles.
Pro 31:11 The heart of her husbande may safely trust in her, so that he shall fall into no pouertie.
Pro 31:12 She wyll do hym good, and not euill, all the dayes of her lyfe.
Pro 31:13 She occupieth wooll and flaxe, and laboureth gladly with her handes.
Pro 31:14 She is like a marchauntes ship, that bryngeth her vittayles from a farre.
Pro 31:15 She is vp in the nyght season, to prouide meate for her housholde, and foode for her maydens.
Pro 31:16 She considereth lande, and byeth it: and with the fruite of her handes she planteth a vineyarde.
Pro 31:17 She girdeth her loynes with strength, and fortifieth her armes.
Pro 31:18 And yf she perceaue that her huswiferie doth good, her candell goeth not out by nyght.
Pro 31:19 She layeth her fingers to the spindle, & her hande taketh holde of the distaffe.
Pro 31:20 She openeth her hande to the poore, yea she stretcheth foorth her handes to such as haue neede.
Pro 31:21 She feareth not that the colde of wynter shall hurt her housholde, for all her housholde folkes are clothed with scarlet.
Pro 31:22 She maketh her selfe faire ornametes, her clothyng is white silke and purple.
Pro 31:23 Her husbande is much set by in the gates, when he sitteth among the rulers of the lande.
Pro 31:24 She maketh cloth of silke, and selleth it: and deliuereth girdles vnto the marchaunt.
Pro 31:25 Strength and honour is her clothing, and in the latter day she shall reioyce.
Pro 31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdome, and in her tongue is the lawe of grace.
Pro 31:27 She loketh well to the wayes of her housholde: and eateth not her bread with idlenesse.
Pro 31:28 Her children arise vp & call her blessed: and her husbande shall make much of her.
Pro 31:29 Many daughters [there be that] gather riches together: but thou goest aboue them all.
Pro 31:30 As for fauour it is deceiptfull, & beautie is a vayne thyng: but a woman that feareth the Lorde, shalbe praysed.
Pro 31:31 Geue her of the fruite of her handes: and let her owne workes prayse her in the gates.
