利慕伊勒王的箴言
31 以下是利慕伊勒王的箴言，
是他母亲给他的教诲：
2 我儿，我亲生的骨肉，
我许愿得来的孩子啊，
我该怎样教导你呢？
3 不要在女人身上耗废精力，
不要迷恋那些能毁灭王的人。
4 利慕伊勒啊，
君王不可喝酒，
不可喝酒，
首领不宜喝烈酒，
5 免得喝酒后忘记律例，
不为困苦人伸张正义。
6 把烈酒给灭亡的人，
把淡酒给忧伤的人，
7 让他们喝了忘掉贫穷，
不再记得自己的痛苦。
8 要为不能自辩者说话，
为一切不幸的人申冤。
9 你要发言，秉公审判，
为贫穷困苦者主持公道。
贤德的妻子
10 谁能找到贤德之妻？
她的价值远胜过珠宝。
11 她丈夫信赖她，
什么也不缺乏。
12 她一生对丈夫有益无损。
13 她寻找羊毛和细麻，
愉快地亲手做衣。
14 她好像商船，
从远方运来粮食。
15 天未亮她就起床，
为全家预备食物，
分派女仆做家事。
16 她选中田地便买下来，
亲手赚钱栽种葡萄园。
17 她精力充沛，
双臂有力。
18 她深谙经营之道，
她的灯彻夜不熄。
19 她手拿卷线杆，
手握纺线锤。
20 她乐于周济穷人，
伸手帮助困苦者。
21 她不因下雪而为家人担心，
因为全家都穿着朱红暖衣。
22 她为自己缝制绣花毯，
用细麻和紫布做衣服。
23 她丈夫在城门口与当地长老同坐，
受人尊重。
24 她缝制细麻衣裳出售，
又制作腰带卖给商人。
25 她充满力量和尊荣，
她以笑颜迎接未来。
26 她说的话带着智慧，
她的训言充满慈爱。
27 她料理一切家务，
从不偷懒吃闲饭。
28 她的儿女肃立，
为她祝福，
她的丈夫也称赞她，
29 说：“世上贤德的女子很多，
唯有你无与伦比。”
30 艳丽是虚假的，
美貌是短暂的，
唯有敬畏耶和华的女子配得称赞。
31 愿她享受自己的劳动成果，
愿她的事迹使她在城门口受称赞。

賢母訓子當秉公行義
31 利慕伊勒王的話，是 神的默示，
是他母親教訓他的：
2 “我兒，
我腹中生的兒啊！
我許願所得的兒啊，我要對你說甚麼呢？
3 不要把你的精力給婦女，
也不要有敗壞君王的行為。
4 利慕伊勒啊！君王不可喝酒；
君王千萬不可喝酒；
掌權的不可貪飲烈酒。
5 恐怕喝了酒，就忘記律例，
把困苦人的一切案件都顛倒了。
6 要把烈酒給將要滅亡的人喝；
把酒給心裡愁苦的人喝；
7 讓他喝了，就忘記自己的貧窮，
也不再記念自己的煩惱。
8 你要為不能自辯的人開口說話，
為所有貧苦的人伸冤。
9 你要開口說話，秉公審判，
為困苦和窮乏的人伸冤。”
敬畏耶和華的婦女
10 有才德的妻子，誰能得著呢？
她的價值遠勝過紅寶石。
11 她丈夫心裡倚靠她，
就不會缺少收入。
12 她一生的年日，
只帶給丈夫益處，沒有害處。
13 她搜求羊毛和細麻，
樂意親手作工。
14 她好像一隊商船，
從遠方運來食物。
15 天還未亮，她就起來，
把食物分給家人，
把當作的工分派眾婢女。
16 她選擇了一塊田，就把它買下來，
用自己雙手賺得的收入栽種葡萄園。
17 她以能力束腰，
使自己的膀臂有力。
18 她知道自己的經營獲利，
她的燈終夜不滅。
19 她伸手拿著捲線竿，
手掌握著紡錘。
20 她張手賙濟困苦人，
伸手幫助窮乏人。
21 她不因下雪為自己的家人擔心，
因為她全家都穿著溫暖的朱紅色衣服。
22 她為自己做床毯，
她的衣服是細麻和紫色布料做的。
23 她丈夫與本地的長老在城門口同坐，
是眾人都認識的。
24 她做細麻布衣服出售，
又供應腰帶給商人。
25 她以能力和威儀為衣服，
想到日後的幸福就歡笑。
26 她開口就說出智慧的話；
她的舌頭上充滿慈愛的訓誨。
27 她監管一切家務，
從不白吃閒飯。
28 她的兒女都起來稱她是有福的，
她的丈夫也稱讚她，說：
29 “有才德的女子很多，
但你比她們更超卓。”
30 艷麗是虛假的，美容是虛浮的；
唯有敬畏耶和華的婦女，必得稱讚。
31 願她享受自己手所作的成果；
願她的工作在城門口使她受稱讚。

Sayings of King Lemuel
31 The sayings(A) of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him.
2 Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!
Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!(B)
3 Do not spend your strength[a] on women,
your vigor on those who ruin kings.(C)
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,(D)
not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink(E) and forget what has been decreed,(F)
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine(G) for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink(H) and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
8 Speak(I) up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.(J)
Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character
10 [b]A wife of noble character(K) who can find?(L)
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband(M) has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.(N)
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.(O)
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.(P)
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders(Q) of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.(R)
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do 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 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise(S) at the city gate.

The Teaching of King Lemuel’s Mother
31 The words of Lemuel, king of Massa,[a] which his mother taught him:
2 What, my son? What, son of my womb?
What, son of my vows?
3 Give not your strength to women,
your ways to those who destroy kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine,
or for rulers to desire[b] strong drink;
5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
and wine to those in bitter distress;
7 let them drink and forget their poverty,
and remember their misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for the dumb,
for the rights of all who are left desolate.[c]
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
maintain the rights of the poor and needy.
Ode to a Capable Wife
10 A good wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
and works with willing hands.
14 She is like the ships of the merchant,
she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises while it is yet night
and provides food for her household
and tasks for her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her loins with strength
and makes her arms strong.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She puts her hands to the distaff,
and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She opens her hand to the poor,
and reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes herself coverings;
her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them;
she delivers girdles to the merchant.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household,
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her 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.”
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.
