Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 31:1 ¶ My words have been spoken by God-- the oracular answer of a king, whom his mother instructed.

 31:1 ¶ The words° of king° Lemuel,° the prophecy° that° his mother° taught°° him.

 31:2 What wilt thou keep, my son, what? the words of God. My firstborn son, I speak to thee: what? son of my womb? what? son of my vows?

 31:2 What,° my son?° and what,° the son° of my womb?° and what,° the son° of my vows?°

 31:3 Give not thy wealth to women, nor thy mind and living to remorse. Do all things with counsel: drink wine with counsel.

 31:3 Give°° not° thy strength° unto women,° nor thy ways° to that which destroyeth°° kings.°

 31:4 Princes are prone to anger: let them then not drink wine:

 31:4 [It is] not° for kings,° O Lemuel,° [it is] not° for kings° to drink°° wine;° nor° for°°° princes°° strong drink:°

 31:5 lest they drink, and forget wisdom, and be not able to judge the poor rightly.

 31:5 Lest° they drink,°° and forget°° the law,°° and pervert°° the judgment° of any° of the afflicted.°°

 31:6 Give strong drink to those that are in sorrow, and the wine to drink to those in pain:

 31:6 Give°° strong drink° unto him that is ready to perish,°° and wine° unto those that be of heavy° hearts.°

 31:7 that they may forget their poverty, and may not remember their troubles any more.

 31:7 Let him drink,°° and forget°° his poverty,° and remember°° his misery° no° more.°

 31:8 Open thy mouth with the word of God, and judge all fairly.

 31:8 Open°° thy mouth° for the dumb° in° the cause° of all° such as are appointed° to destruction.°

 31:9 Open thy mouth and judge justly, and plead the cause of the poor and weak.

 31:9 Open°° thy mouth,° judge°° righteously,° and plead°° the cause° of the poor° and needy.°

 31:10 ¶ Who shall find a virtuous woman? for such a one is more valuable than precious stones.

 31:10 ¶ Who° can find°° a virtuous° woman?° for her price° [is] far° above rubies.°°

 31:11 The heart of her husband trusts in her: such a one shall stand in no need of fine spoils.

 31:11 The heart° of her husband° doth safely trust°° in her, so that he shall have no° need°° of spoil.°

 31:12 For she employs all her living for her husband's good.

 31:12 She will do°° him good° and not° evil° all° the days° of her life.°

 31:13 Gathering wool and flax, she makes it serviceable with her hands.

 31:13 She seeketh°° wool,° and flax,° and worketh°° willingly° with her hands.°

 31:14 She is like a ship trading from a distance: so she procures her livelihood.

 31:14 She is° like the merchants'°° ships;° she bringeth°° her food° from afar.°°

 31:15 And she rises by night, and gives food to her household, and [appointed] tasks to her maidens.

 31:15 She riseth°° also while it is yet° night,° and giveth°° meat° to her household,° and a portion° to her maidens.°

 31:16 She views a farm, and buys it: and with the fruit of her hands she plants and a possession.

 31:16 She considereth°° a field,° and buyeth°° it: with the fruit°° of her hands° she planteth°° a vineyard.°

 31:17 She strongly girds her loins, and strengthens her arms for work.

 31:17 She girdeth°° her loins° with strength,° and strengtheneth°° her arms.°

 31:18 And she finds by experience that working is good; and her candle goes not out all night.

 31:18 She perceiveth°° that° her merchandise° [is] good:° her candle° goeth not out°°° by night.°

 31:19 She reaches forth her arms to needful [works], and applies her hands to the spindle.

 31:19 She layeth°° her hands° to the spindle,° and her hands° hold°° the distaff.°

 31:20 And she opens her hands to the needy, and reaches out fruit to the poor.

 31:20 She stretcheth out°° her hand° to the poor;° yea, she reacheth forth°° her hands° to the needy.°

 31:21 Her husband is not anxious about those at home when he tarries anywhere abroad: for all her household are clothed.

 31:21 She is not° afraid°° of the snow°° for her household:° for° all° her household° [are] clothed°° with scarlet.°

 31:22 She makes for her husband clothes of double texture, and garments for herself of fine linen and scarlet.

 31:22 She maketh°° herself coverings of tapestry;° her clothing° [is] silk° and purple.°

 31:23 And her husband becomes a distinguished [person] in the gates, when he sits in council with the old inhabitants of the land.

 31:23 Her husband° is known°° in the gates,° when he sitteth°° among° the elders° of the land.°

 31:24 She makes fine linens, and sells girdles to the Canaanites{gr.Chananites}: she opens her mouth heedfully and with propriety, and controls her tongue.

 31:24 She maketh°° fine linen,° and selleth°° [it]; and delivereth°° girdles° unto the merchant.°

 31:25 She puts on strength and honour; and rejoices in the last days.

 31:25 Strength° and honour° [are] her clothing;° and she shall rejoice°° in time° to come.°

 31:26 But she opens her mouth wisely, and according to law.

 31:26 She openeth°° her mouth° with wisdom;° and in° her tongue° [is] the law° of kindness.°

 31:27 The ways of her household are careful, and she eats not the bread of idleness.

 31:27 She looketh well°° to the ways°° of her household,° and eateth°° not° the bread° of idleness.°

 31:28 And [her] kindness to them sets up her children for them, and they grow rich, and her husband praises her.

 31:28 Her children° arise up,°° and call her blessed;°° her husband° [also], and he praiseth°° her.

 31:29 Many daughters have obtained wealth, many have wrought valiantly; but thou hast exceeded, thou hast surpassed all.

 31:29 Many° daughters° have done°° virtuously,° but thou° excellest°°° them all.°

 31:30 Charms are false, and woman's beauty is vain: for it is a wise woman that is blessed, and let her praise the fear the Lord.

 31:30 Favour° [is] deceitful,° and beauty° [is] vain:° [but] a woman° [that] feareth° Yahweh,° she° shall be praised.°°

 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her lips; and let her husband be praised in the gates.

 31:31 Give°° her of the fruit°° of her hands;° and let her own works° praise°° her in the gates.°
