- Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
Feed me with the food allotted to me. - Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die. - Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy. - Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies. - Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Turn at my rebuke;
Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you. - For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. - He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly. - He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints. - Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
