- Keep deception and lies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the food that is my portion. - Open your mouth for the people who cannot speak,
For the rights of all the unfortunate. - Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And defend the rights of the poor and needy. - An excellent wife, who can find her?
For her worth is far above jewels. - Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Turn to my rebuke,
Behold, 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 in integrity. - Guarding the paths of justice,
And He watches over the way of His godly ones. - Then you will discern righteousness, justice,
And integrity, and every good path.
