1 -These are the words of King Lemuel—the burden that his mother taught him:
2 -What shall I say, O my son? What, O son of my womb? What, O son of my vows?
3 -Do not spend your strength on women or your vigor on those who ruin kings.
4 -It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to crave strong drink,
5 -lest they drink and forget what is decreed, depriving all the oppressed of justice.
6 -Give strong drink to one who is perishing, and wine to the bitter in soul.
7 -Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 -Open your mouth for those with no voice, for the cause of all the dispossessed.
9 -Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the poor and needy.

23 -Her husband is known at the city gate, where he sits among the elders of the land.
24 -She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchants.

26 -She opens her mouth with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 -She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 -Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband praises her as well:
29 -“Many daughters have done noble things, but you surpass them all!”
30 -Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 -Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her at the gates.
