PR-30: 11 [There is] a generation [that] curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. PR-30: 12 [There is] a generation [that are] pure in their own eyes, and [yet] is not washed from their filthiness. PR-30: 13 [There is] a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. PR-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. PR-30: 15 The horseleach hath two daughters, [crying] , Give, give. There are three [things that] are never satisfied, [yea] , four [things] say not, [It is] enough: PR-30: 16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth [that] is not filled with water; and the fire [that] saith not, [It is] enough. PR-30: 17 The eye [that] mocketh at [his] father, and despiseth to obey [his] mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. PR-30: 18 There be three [things which] are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: PR-30: 19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. PR-30: 20 Such [is] the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. PR-30: 21 For three [things] the earth is disquieted, and for four [which] it cannot bear: PR-30: 22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat; PR-30: 23 For an odious [woman] when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. PR-30: 24 There be four [things which are] little upon the earth, but they [are] exceeding wise: PR-30: 25 The ants [are] a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; PR-30: 26 The conies [are but] a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; PR-30: 27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; PR-30: 28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. PR-30: 29 There be three [things] which go well, yea, four are comely in going: PR-30: 30 A lion [which is] strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; PR-30: 31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom [there is] no rising up. PR-30: 32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, [lay] thine hand upon thy mouth. PR-30: 33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. PR-31: 1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. PR-31: 2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? PR-31: 3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. PR-31: 4 [It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: PR-31: 5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. PR-31: 6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. PR-31: 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. PR-31: 8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. PR-31: 9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. PR-31: 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price [is] far above rubies. PR-31: 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. PR-31: 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. PR-31: 13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. PR-31: 14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. PR-31: 15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. PR-31: 16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. PR-31: 17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. PR-31: 18 She perceiveth that her merchandise [is] good: her candle goeth not out by night. PR-31: 19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. PR-31: 20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. PR-31: 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household [are] clothed with scarlet. PR-31: 22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing [is] silk and purple. PR-31: 23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. PR-31: 24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth [it] ; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. PR-31: 25 Strength and honour [are] her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
