Bible. Proverbs
20:030:026 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses
in the rocks;
20:030:027 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by
bands;
20:030:028 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings'
palaces.
20:030:029 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in
going:
20:030:030 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away
for any;
20:030:031 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there
is no rising up.
20:030:032 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou
hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
20:030:033 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the
wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of
wrath bringeth forth strife.
20:031:001 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught
him.
20:031:002 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son
of my vows?
20:031:003 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which
destroyeth kings.
20:031:004 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink
wine; nor for princes strong drink:
20:031:005 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment
of any of the afflicted.
20:031:006 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine
unto those that be of heavy hearts.
20:031:007 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery
no more.
20:031:008 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are
appointed to destruction.
20:031:009 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the
poor and needy.
20:031:010 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above
rubies.
20:031:011 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he
shall have no need of spoil.
20:031:012 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
20:031:013 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her
hands.
20:031:014 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from
afar.
20:031:015 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her
household, and a portion to her maidens.
20:031:016 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her
hands she planteth a vineyard.
20:031:017 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her
arms.
20:031:018 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth
not out by night.
20:031:019 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the
distaff.
20:031:020 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth
forth her hands to the needy.
