to that which destroyeth kings. |

Lest they drink, and forget the law, And pervert
the justice due to any that is afflicted. |

with her hands. |

food to her household, And their task to her maidens. |

Her lamp goeth not out by night. |

hands hold the spindle. |

For all her household are clothed with scarlet. |

Her clothing is fine linen and purple. |

Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth
among the elders of the land. |
|
|
|

She maketh linen garments and selleth them,
And delivereth girdles unto the merchant. |
|
|
|
|
| Proverbs 31:25 |
|
Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she
laugheth at the time to come. |
|
|
|
|
| Proverbs 31:26 |

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law
of kindness is on her tongue. |
|

And eateth not the bread of idleness. |

Her husband also, and he praiseth her, saying: |

Many daughters have done worthily, But thou
excellest them all. |

Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let
her works praise her in the gates. |
