- 31:2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
- 31:3 Give not your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
- 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
- 31:5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
- 31:6 Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts.
- 31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
- 31:8 Open your mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
- 31:9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
- 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

- 31:12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
- 31:13 She seeks wool, and flax, and works willingly with her hands.

- 31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

- 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
- 31:27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and eats not the bread of idleness.
- 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
- 31:29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but you excel them all.
- 31:30 Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
- 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

- 30:1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke to Ithiel, even to Ithiel and Ucal,
- 30:2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
- 30:3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
- 30:4 Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended? who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who has established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you can tell?
- 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield to them that put their trust in him.
- 30:6 Add you not to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
- 30:7 Two things have I required of you; deny me them not before I die:
- 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
- 30:9 Lest I be full, and deny you, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
- 30:10 Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
- 30:11 There is a generation that curses their father, and does not bless their mother.
- 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
- 30:13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
- 30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
- 30:15 The horse leach has two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yes, four things say not, It is enough:
- 30:16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that said not, It is enough.
- 30:17 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
- 30:18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yes, four which I know not:
- 30:19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent on a rock; the way of a ship in the middle of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
- 30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and said, I have done no wickedness.
- 30:21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
- 30:22 For a servant when he reigns; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
- 30:23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
- 30:24 There be four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
- 30:25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
- 30:26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
- 30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
- 30:28 The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.
- 30:29 There be three things which go well, yes, four are comely in going:
- 30:30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turns not away for any;
- 30:31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
- 30:32 If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, lay your hand on your mouth.
- 30:33 Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood: so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.

- 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
- 24:10 If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
- 24:11 If you forbear to deliver them that are drawn to death, and those that are ready to be slain;
- 24:12 If you say, Behold, we knew it not; does not he that ponders the heart consider it? and he that keeps your soul, does not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
- 24:13 My son, eat you honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to your taste:

- 24:28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.
- 24:29 Say not, I will do so to him as he has done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
- 24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
- 24:31 And, see, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
- 24:32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked on it, and received instruction.
- 24:33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
- 24:34 So shall your poverty come as one that travels; and your want as an armed man.

- 23:19 Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the way.
- 23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
- 23:21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
- 23:22 Listen to your father that begat you, and despise not your mother when she is old.

- 23:27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
- 23:28 She also lies in wait as for a prey, and increases the transgressors among men.
- 23:29 Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?
- 23:30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
- 23:31 Look not you on the wine when it is red, when it gives his color in the cup, when it moves itself aright.
- 23:32 At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.
- 23:33 Your eyes shall behold strange women, and your heart shall utter perverse things.
- 23:34 Yes, you shall be as he that lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he that lies on the top of a mast.
- 23:35 They have stricken me, shall you say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
