- Remove far from me vanity and lies:
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me. - Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all
such as are appointed to destruction. - Open thy mouth, judge righteously,
and plead the cause of the poor and needy. - Who can find a virtuous woman?
for her price is far above rubies. - Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:
but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge:
but fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Turn you at my reproof:
behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you,
I will make known my words unto you. - For the Lord giveth wisdom:
out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. - He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:
he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. - He keepeth the paths of judgment,
and preserveth the way of his saints. - Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment,
and equity; yea, every good path.
Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heaven and earth.Next verse!With image
