Proverbs 31
New King James Version
The Words of King Lemuel’s Mother
31 The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him:
2 What, my son?
And what, son of my womb?
And what, son of my vows?
3 Do not give your strength to women,
Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink;
5 Lest they drink and forget the law,
And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy.
The Virtuous Wife
10 Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry 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 sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over 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 daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Proverbios 31
Reina Valera Actualizada
Palabras de Lemuel
31 Palabras de Lemuel, rey de Masá, que le enseñara su madre:
2 ¡Oh, hijo mío!
¡Oh, hijo de mi vientre!
¡Oh, hijo de mis votos!
3 No des a las mujeres tu fuerza
ni tus caminos a las que destruyen
a los reyes.
4 No es cosa de reyes, oh Lemuel,
no es cosa de reyes beber vino
ni de los magistrados el licor.
5 No sea que bebiendo olviden lo que
se ha decretado
y perviertan el derecho de todos los afligidos.
6 Den licor al que va a perecer,
y vino a los de ánimo amargado.
7 Beban y olvídense de su necesidad,
y no se acuerden más de su miseria.
8 Abre tu boca por el mudo
en el juicio de todos los desafortunados.
9 Abre tu boca, juzga con justicia
y defiende al pobre y al necesitado.
Elogio de la mujer virtuosa
10 Mujer virtuosa, ¿quién la hallará? Porque su valor sobrepasa a las perlas.
11 Confía en ella el corazón de su marido, y no carecerá de ganancias.
12 Le recompensará con bien y no con mal
todos los días de su vida.
13 Busca lana y lino
y con gusto teje con sus manos.
14 Es como un barco mercante
que trae su pan de lejos.
15 Se levanta siendo aún de noche,
y da de comer a su familia
y su diaria ración a sus criadas.
16 Evalúa un campo y lo compra,
y con sus propias manos planta una viña.
17 Ciñe su cintura con firmeza
y esfuerza sus brazos.
18 Comprueba que le va bien en
el negocio,
y no se apaga su lámpara en la noche.
19 Su mano aplica a la rueca,
y sus dedos toman el huso.
20 Sus manos extiende al pobre
y tiende sus manos al necesitado.
21 No teme por su familia a causa
de la nieve
porque toda su familia está vestida
de ropa doble .
22 Tapices hace para sí,
y se viste de lino fino y púrpura.
23 Es conocido su marido en las puertas de la ciudad,
cuando se sienta con los ancianos del país.
24 Telas hace y las vende;
entrega cintas al mercader.
25 Fuerza y honor son su vestidura,
y se ríe de lo porvenir.
26 Su boca abre con sabiduría,
y la ley de la misericordia está
en su lengua.
27 Considera la marcha de su casa
y no come pan de ociosidad.
28 Se levantan sus hijos
y le llaman: “Bienaventurada”.
Y su marido también la alaba:
29 “Muchas mujeres han hecho el bien, pero tú sobrepasas a todas”.
30 Engañosa es la gracia y vana es
la hermosura;
la mujer que teme al SEÑOR, ella será alabada.
31 ¡Denle del fruto de sus manos,
y en las puertas de la ciudad alábenla sus hechos!
