Proverbs 31

Verses of Proverbs 31 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - 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.
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.

29 - "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all."

31 - Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.
