“Deeds Worthy Of Praise”

It is not proper for kings who belong to God, it is not proper for kings to drink [much] wine, and for princes to imbibe strong drink.
31:4
Lest he drink and forget the statute [of the Torah] and pervert the judgment of all the children of the poor.
:5
Give strong drink to the woebegone and wine to those of embittered soul.
:6
Let him drink and forget his poverty, and not remember his travail any more.
:7
An accomplished woman who can find? Far beyond pearls is her value.
:10
She bestows goodness upon him, never evil, all the days of her life.
:12
She seeks wool and flax, and her hands work willingly.
:13
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
:26
“Many women have amassed achievement, but you surpassed them all.”
:29
Grace is false, and beauty vain; a woman who fears Hashem, she should be praised.
:30

1 The words of Lemuel the king; a prophecy that his mother chastised him;
2 What, my son, and what, the son of my womb, and what, the son of my vows?
3 Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to the pleasures of kings.
4 It is not for kings, Lemoel, it is not for kings to drink wine, neither is strong drink for rulers.
5 Lest he drink and forget what was made law, and change the judgment of all the impoverished.
6 Give strong drink to the one who is perishing and wine to those of bitter soul.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty, and let him remember his misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for the dumb, to the cause of all whose help has passed.
9 Open your mouth, judge justly and plead the cause of the poor and the needy.
10 A woman of valor who can find, for her price is beyond pearls.
11 Her husband relies on her, and he will lack no gain.
12 She requites him with good and not with evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax, and she works it with the will of her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises when it is still night; she gives food to her household and an allotted share to her maidens.
16 She contemplates a field and purchases it; from the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her loins with vigor and strengthens her arms.
18 [When] she advises that her merchandise is good her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She stretches forth her hands onto the distaff, and her hands support the spindle.
20 She spreads out her hand to the poor man, and she stretches her hands out to the needy.
21 She fears not for her household for snow, for all her household are dressed in crimson.
22 She makes beautiful bedspreads for herself; fine linen and purple wool are her raiment.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits with the elders of the land.
24 She makes a cloak and sells it, and she gives a belt to the trafficker.
25 Strength and beauty are her raiment, and she laughs at the last day.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and instruction of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She supervises the ways of her household and does not eat bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise and call her fortunate; [also] her husband, and praises her.
29 “Many women have acquired wealth, but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is false and beauty is futile; a God-fearing woman is to be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and her deeds will praise her in the gates.
