Proverbs 31:3-15

³Give not your wealth to women, nor your mind and living to remorse. Do all things with counsel: drink wine with counsel.

⁴Princes are prone to anger: let them then not drink wine:

⁵lest they drink, and forget wisdom, and be not able to judge the poor rightly.

⁶Give strong drink to those that are in sorrow, and the wine to drink to those in pain:

⁷that they may forget their poverty, and may not remember their troubles any more.

⁸Open your mouth with the word of God, and judge all fairly.

⁹Open your mouth and judge justly, and plead the cause of the poor and weak.

¹⁰Who shall find a virtuous woman? for such a one is more valuable than precious stones.

¹¹The heart of her husband trusts in her: such a one shall stand in no need of fine spoils.

¹²For she employs all her living for her husband's good.

¹³Gathering wool and flax, she makes it serviceable with her hands.

¹⁴She is like a ship trading from a distance: so she procures her livelihood.

¹⁵And she rises by night, and gives food to her household, and appointed tasks to her maidens.
