Contrast of the
Righteous and the Wicked. Proverbs (Chapters 25-31 ~ Wisdom
For LEADERS)
The Words of Lemuel
1
The words of King Lemuel, the oracle which his mother taught him:
2 What, O my son? And what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my
vows?
3 Do not give your strength to women, Or your ways to that which
destroys kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to drink wine, Or
for rulers to desire strong drink,
5 For they will drink and forget what is decreed, And pervert the
rights of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to him whose life
is bitter.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty And remember his trouble no more.
8 Open your mouth for the mute, For the rights of all the unfortunate.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, And defend the rights of the
afflicted and needy.
Description of a Worthy Woman
10 An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above 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 evil All the days of her life.
13 She looks for wool and flax And works with her hands in delight.
14 She is like merchant ships; She brings her food from afar.
15 She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her
household And portions to her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it; From her earnings she plants a
vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength And makes her arms strong.
18 She senses that her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp the
spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor, And she stretches out her hands to
the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her
household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for herself; 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, And supplies belts to the
tradesmen.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future.
26 She opens her mouth in 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 bless her; Her husband also, and he praises
her, saying:
29 “Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the
Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in
the gates.
