10誰能找到賢德之妻？ 她的價值遠勝過珠寶。11她丈夫信賴她， 什麼也不缺乏。12她一生對丈夫有益無損。13她尋找羊毛和細麻， 愉快地親手做衣。14她好像商船， 從遠方運來糧食。15天未亮她就起床， 為全家預備食物， 分派女僕做家事。16她選中田地便買下來， 親手賺錢栽種葡萄園。17她精力充沛， 雙臂有力。18她深諳經營之道， 她的燈徹夜不熄。19她手拿捲線杆， 手握紡線錘。20她樂於賙濟窮人， 伸手幫助困苦者。21她不因下雪而為家人擔心， 因為全家都穿著朱紅暖衣。22她為自己縫製繡花毯， 用細麻和紫布做衣服。23她丈夫在城門口與當地長老同坐， 受人尊重。24她縫製細麻衣裳出售， 又製作腰帶賣給商人。25她充滿力量和尊榮， 她以笑顏迎接未來。26她說的話帶著智慧， 她的訓言充滿慈愛。27她料理一切家務， 從不偷懶吃閒飯。28她的兒女肅立， 為她祝福， 她的丈夫也稱讚她，29說：「世上賢德的女子很多， 唯有你無與倫比。」30豔麗是虛假的， 美貌是短暫的， 唯有敬畏耶和華的女子配得稱讚。31願她享受自己的勞動成果， 願她的事蹟使她在城門口受稱讚。

The Words of King Lemuel
1The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him:2What are you doing, my son?* What are you doing, son of my womb? What are you doing, son of my vows?3Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings.4It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink,5lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.6Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress;*7let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.8Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.*9Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.
The Woman Who Fears the Lord
10* An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.11The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.12She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.13She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.14She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar.15She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens.16She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.17She dresses herself* with strength and makes her arms strong.18She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.19She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.20She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.21She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.*22She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple.23Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.24She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant.25Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.26She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.27She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.28Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:29“Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”30Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.31Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.
