- Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that I need. - Speak out for those who cannot speak,
for the rights of all the destitute. - Speak out, judge righteously,
defend the rights of the poor and needy. - A capable wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels. - Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Give heed to my reproof;
I will pour out my thoughts to 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 blamelessly. - Guarding the paths of justice
and preserving the way of his faithful ones. - Then you will understand righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path.
