- First, help me never to tell a lie.
Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!
Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. - Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;
ensure justice for those being crushed. - Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless,
and see that they get justice. - Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies. - Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. - Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline. - Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise. - For the Lord grants wisdom!
From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. - He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. - He guards the paths of the just
and protects those who are faithful to him. - Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,
and you will find the right way to go.
