Palabras del rey Lemuel

Palabras del rey Lemuel, oráculo1 que le enseñó su madre.

2 ¿Qué, hijo mío?¿Qué, hijo de mis entrañas1a?¿Qué, hijo de mis votosb?3 No des tu vigor a las mujeresa,ni tus caminos a lo que destruye a los reyesb.4 No es para los reyes, oh Lemuel,no es para los reyesa beber vinob,ni para los gobernantes desear bebida fuerte;5 no sea que beban y olviden lo que se ha decretado,y perviertan los derechos1 de todos los afligidos2a.6 Dad bebida fuerte al que está pereciendoa,y vino a los amargados de almab.7 Que beba y se olvide de su pobreza,y no recuerde más su aflicción.8 aAbre tu boca por los mudos,por los derechos1 de todos los desdichados2.9 Abre tu boca, juzga con justiciaa,y defiende los derechos del1 afligido y del necesitadob.
Elogio de la mujer hacendosa
10 Mujer hacendosa1a, ¿quién la hallará?Su valor supera en mucho al de las joyasb.11 En ella confía el corazón de su marido,y no carecerá de ganancias.12 Ella le trae bien y no maltodos los días de su vida.13 Busca lana y lino,y con agrado1 trabaja con sus manos2.14 Es como las naves de mercadera,trae su alimento de lejos.15 También se levanta cuando aún es de nochea,y da alimento a los de su casab,y tarea1 a sus doncellas.16 Evalúa un campo y lo compra;con sus ganancias1 planta una viña.17 Ella se ciñe1a de fuerza,y fortalece sus brazos.18 Nota que su ganancia es buena,no se apaga de noche su lámpara.19 Extiende sus manos a la rueca,y sus manos1 toman el huso.20 Extiende su mano1 al pobre,y alarga sus manos al necesitadoa.21 No tiene temor de la nieve por los de su casa,porque todos los de su casa llevan ropa escarlata1a.22 Se hace mantosa para sí;su ropa es de lino finob y de púrpurac.23 Su marido es conocido en las puertasa,cuando se sienta con los ancianos de la tierra.24 Hace telas de linoa y las vende,y provee1 cinturones a los mercaderes2.25 Fuerza y dignidad son su vestiduraa,y sonríe al futuro1.26 Abre su boca con sabiduríaa,y hay enseñanza1 de bondad en su lengua.27 Ella vigila la marcha de su casa,y no come el pan de la ociosidada.28 Sus hijos se levantan y la llaman bienaventurada,también su marido, y la alaba diciendo:29 Muchas mujeres1 han obrado con nobleza,pero tú las superas a todas.30 Engañosa es la gracia y vana la belleza,pero la mujer que teme1 al SEÑORa,esa será alabada.31 Dadle el fruto de sus manos,y que sus obras la alaben en las puertas.

Description of a Worthy Woman
10 1An aexcellent woman one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous, who is he who can find her?Her value is bmore precious than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls. Prov 12:4; 18:22; 19:1411 The heart of her husband trusts in her with secure confidence,And he will have no lack of gain.12 She comforts, encourages, and does him only good and not evilAll the days of her life.13 She looks for wool and flaxAnd works with willing hands in delight.14 She is like the amerchant ships abounding with treasure;She brings her household’s food from far away.15 She arises also while it is still nightAnd bgives food to her householdAnd assigns tasks to her maids. Job 23:1216 She considers a field before she buys or accepts it expanding her business prudently;With her profits she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard.17 She aequips herself with strength spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given taskAnd makes her arms strong.18 She sees that her gain is good;Her lamp does not go out, but it burns continually through the night she is prepared for whatever lies ahead.19 She stretches out her hands to the 1distaff,And her hands hold the spindle as she spins wool into thread for clothing.20 She aopens and extends her hand to the poor,And she reaches out her filled hands to the needy.21 She does not fear the snow for her household,For all in her household are aclothed in expensive scarlet wool. Josh 2:18, 19; Heb 9:19-2222 She makes for herself acoverlets, cushions, and rugs of tapestry.Her clothing is blinen, pure and fine, and cpurple wool. Is 61:10; 1+@Tim 2:9; Rev 3:5; 19:8, 1423 Her husband is known ain the city’s gates,When he sits among the elders of the land. Prov 12:424 She makes fine alinen garments and sells them;And supplies sashes to the merchants.25 Strength and adignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure;And she smiles at the future knowing that she and her family are prepared.26 She aopens her mouth in skillful and godly wisdom,And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue giving counsel and instruction.27 She looks well to how things go in her household,And does not eat the abread of idleness. 1+@Tim 5:14; Titus 2:528 Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) ;Her husband also, and he praises her, saying,29 “Many daughters have done nobly, and well with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness,1But you excel them all.”30 Charm and grace are deceptive, and superficial beauty is vain,But a woman who afears the LORD reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect, she shall be praised.31 Give her of the product of her hands,And let her own works praise her in the gates of the city.
