- Keep falsehood and lying far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but simply provide me with the food that I need. - Speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves,
and defend the rights of the destitute. - Speak out and pronounce righteous judgments;
defend the rights of the wretched and the poor. - Who can find a worthy wife?
She is far more precious than pearls. - Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,
but the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools are those who despise wisdom and instruction. - If you would seriously consider my reproof,
I would pour out my thoughts to you
and make my precepts known to you. - For the Lord himself is the one who bestows wisdom;
from his mouth come forth knowledge and understanding. - He reserves his wisdom for the upright
and is a shield to those who lead blameless lives. - For he guards the paths of justice
and keeps watch over the way of his faithful ones. - Then you will understand equity and justice
as well as righteousness—every good path.
