Hear ^H8085, my son ^H1121, your father’s ^H1 discipline ^H4148

And do not abandon ^H5203 your mother’s ^H517 [fn]instruction ^H8451;

When ^H3588 I was a son ^H1121 to my father ^H1,

Tender ^H7390 and the only ^H3173 son ^H3173 before ^H6440 my mother ^H517,

My son ^H1121, observe ^H5341 the commandment ^H4687 of your father ^H1

And do not abandon ^H5203 the [fn]law ^H8451 of your mother ^H517;

The proverbs ^H4912 of Solomon ^H8010.

A wise ^H2450 son ^H1121 makes ^H8055 a father ^H1 glad ^H8055,

But a foolish ^H3684 son ^H1121 is a grief ^H8424 to his mother ^H517.

A wise ^H2450 son ^H1121 makes ^H8055 a father ^H1 glad ^H8055,

But a foolish ^H3684 man ^H120 despises ^H959 his mother ^H517.

He who assaults ^H7703 his father ^H1 and causes his mother ^H517 to flee ^H1272

Is a son ^H1121 who brings shame ^H954 and humiliation ^H2659.

He who curses ^H7043 his father ^H1 or his mother ^H517,

His lamp ^H5216 will go ^H1846 out ^H1846 in the [fn]midst ^H380 of darkness ^H2822.

Listen ^H8085 to your father ^H1 who begot ^H3205 you,

And do not despise ^H936 your mother ^H517 when ^H3588 she is ^H2204 old ^H2204.

Let your father ^H1 and your mother ^H517 be ^H8055 glad ^H8055,

And let her rejoice ^H1523 who gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to you.

He who robs ^H1497 his father ^H1 or his mother ^H517

And says ^H559, “It is not a transgression ^H6588,”

Is the companion ^H2270 of a man ^H376 who destroys ^H7843.

The rod ^H7626 and reproof ^H8433 give ^H5414 wisdom ^H2451,

But a child ^H5288 [fn]left ^H7971 to himself brings ^H954 shame ^H954 to his mother ^H517.

There is a generation ^H1755 that curses ^H7043 its father ^H1

And does not bless ^H1288 its mother ^H517.

The eye ^H5869 that mocks ^H3932 a father ^H1

And despises ^H936 obedience ^H3349 to a mother ^H517,

The ravens ^H6158 of the valley ^H5158 will pick ^H5365 it out ^H5365,

And the young ^H1121 eagles ^H5404 will eat ^H398 it.

The words ^H1697 of King ^H4428 Lemuel ^H3927, the [fn]oracle ^H4853 unto which ^H834 his mother ^H517 disciplined ^H3256 him:

“Do not look ^H7200 at me because I am [fn]swarthy ^H7840,

For the sun ^H8121 has burned ^H7805 me.

My mother’s ^H517 sons ^H1121 were ^H2734 angry ^H2734 with me;

They made ^H7760 me caretaker ^H5201 of the vineyards ^H3754,

But I have not taken ^H5201 care ^H5201 of my own vineyard ^H3754.

“Scarcely ^H4592 had I passed ^H5674 them by

When ^H5704 H7945 I found ^H4672 him whom ^H7945 my soul ^H5315 loves ^H157;

I seized ^H270 him and would not let ^H7503 him go ^H7503

Until ^H5704 I had brought ^H935 him to my mother’s ^H517 house ^H1004,

And into the chamber ^H2315 of her who conceived ^H2029 me.”

“Go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 and see ^H7200, O daughters ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726,

King ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 with the [fn]crown ^H5850

With which ^H7945 his mother ^H517 has crowned ^H5849 him

On the day ^H3117 of his wedding ^H2861,

And on the day ^H3117 of his gladness ^H8057 of heart ^H3820.”

She is the only ^H259 one ^H259—my dove ^H3123, my perfect ^H8535 one ^H8535;

She is the only ^H259 one ^H259 of her mother ^H517;

She is the pure ^H1249 one ^H1249 of her who bore ^H3205 her.

The daughters ^H1323 saw ^H7200 her and called ^H833 her blessed ^H833,

The queens ^H4436 and the concubines ^H6370 also, and they praised ^H1984 her, saying,

“Oh ^H4310 H5414 that ^H4310 H5414 you were like a brother ^H251 to me

Who nursed ^H3243 at my mother’s ^H517 breasts ^H7699.

If I found ^H4672 you outside ^H2351, I would kiss ^H5401 you;

No ^H3808 one would despise ^H936 me, either ^H1571.

“[fn]Who ^H4310 is this ^H2088 coming ^H5927 up ^H5927 from the wilderness ^H4057

Leaning ^H7514 on her beloved ^H1730?”

“[fn]Beneath ^H8478 the [fn]apple ^H8598 tree ^H8598 I awakened ^H5782 you;

There ^H8033 your mother ^H517 was in ^H2254 labor ^H2254 with you;

There ^H8033 she was in ^H2254 labor ^H2254 and gave ^H3205 you birth ^H3205.

Listen ^H8085 to Me, O coastlands ^H339,

And pay ^H7181 attention ^H7181, you peoples ^H3816 from afar ^H7350.

Yahweh ^H3068 called ^H7121 Me from the womb ^H990;

From the [fn]body ^H4578 of My mother ^H517 He made My name ^H8034 to be remembered ^H2142.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Where ^H335 is the certificate ^H5612 of divorce ^H3748

By which ^H834 I have sent ^H7971 your mother ^H517 away ^H7971?

Or ^H176 to which ^H4310 of My creditors ^H5383 did I sell ^H4376 you?

Behold ^H2005, you were sold ^H4376 for your iniquities ^H5771,

And for your transgressions ^H6588 your mother ^H517 was sent ^H7971 away ^H7971.

“As one ^H376 whom ^H834 his mother ^H517 comforts ^H5162, so ^H3651 I will comfort ^H5162 you;

And you will be comforted ^H5162 in Jerusalem ^H3389.”

“Their widows ^H490 will be ^H6105 more ^H4480 numerous ^H6105 before Me

Than ^H4480 the sand ^H2344 of the seas ^H3220;

I will bring ^H935 against them, against ^H5921 the mother ^H517 of a choice ^H970 man ^H970,

A destroyer ^H7703 at noonday ^H6672;

I will suddenly ^H6597 bring ^H5307 down ^H5307 on her

Anguish ^H5892 and terror ^H928.

Woe ^H188 to me, my mother ^H517, that you have borne ^H3205 me

As a man ^H376 of strife ^H7379 and a man ^H376 of contention ^H4066 to all ^H3605 the land ^H776!

I have not lent ^H5383, nor ^H3808 have men lent ^H5383 money to me,

Yet everyone ^H3605 curses ^H7043 me.

Cursed ^H779 be the day ^H3117 when ^H834 I was born ^H3205;

Let the day ^H3117 not be blessed ^H1288 when ^H834 my mother ^H517 bore ^H3205 me!

Because ^H834 he did not put ^H4191 me to ^H4191 death ^H4191 from ^H4480 the womb ^H7358,

So that my mother ^H517 would have been ^H1961 my grave ^H6913,

And her womb ^H7358 ever ^H5769 pregnant ^H2030.

Your mother ^H517 [fn]will be ^H954 greatly ^H3966 ashamed ^H954;

She who gave ^H3205 you birth ^H3205 [fn]will be humiliated ^H2659.

Behold ^H2009, she will be the least ^H319 of the nations ^H1471,

A wilderness ^H4057, a parched ^H6723 land ^H6723, and a desert ^H6160.

Zedekiah ^H6667 was twenty-one ^H6242 H259 years ^H8141 old ^H1121 when he became ^H4427 king ^H4427, and he reigned ^H4427 eleven ^H259 H6240 years ^H8141 in Jerusalem ^H3389; and his mother’s ^H517 name ^H8034 was [fn]Hamutal ^H2537 the daughter ^H1323 of Jeremiah ^H3414 of Libnah ^H3841.

Lamedh

They say ^H559 to their mothers ^H517,

“Where ^H346 is grain ^H1715 and wine ^H3196?”

As they faint ^H5848 like a wounded ^H2491 man ^H2491

In the open ^H7339 squares ^H7339 of the city ^H5892,

As their life ^H5315 is poured ^H8210 out ^H8210

On their mothers’ ^H517 bosom ^H2436.

We have become ^H1961 orphans ^H3490 without ^H369 a father ^H1;

Our mothers ^H517 are like widows ^H490.

“Behold ^H2009, everyone ^H3605 who quotes ^H4911 proverbs ^H4911 will quote ^H4911 this proverb ^H4911 concerning ^H5921 you, saying ^H559, ‘[fn]Like mother ^H517, [fn]like daughter ^H1323.’

‘[fn]What ^H4100 was your mother ^H517?

A lioness ^H3833 among ^H996 lions ^H738!

She lay ^H7257 down ^H7257 among ^H8432 young ^H3715 lions ^H3715;

She reared ^H7235 her cubs ^H1482.

‘Your mother ^H517 was like a vine ^H1612 in your [fn]vineyard,

Planted ^H8362 by the waters ^H4325;

It was fruitful ^H6509 and full ^H6058 of ^H6058 branches ^H6058

Because ^H4480 of abundant ^H7227 waters ^H4325.

“Contend ^H7378 with your mother ^H517, contend ^H7378,

For she is not my wife ^H802, and I am not her husband ^H376;

And let her remove ^H5493 her harlotry ^H2183 from her face ^H6440

And her adultery ^H5005 from between ^H996 her breasts ^H7699,

“For their mother ^H517 has played ^H2181 the ^H2181 harlot ^H2181;

She who conceived ^H2029 them has acted ^H954 shamefully ^H954.

For she said ^H559, ‘I will go ^H1980 after ^H310 my lovers ^H157,

Who give ^H5414 me my bread ^H3899 and my water ^H4325,

My wool ^H6785 and my flax ^H6593, my oil ^H8081 and my drink ^H8250.’

So you will stumble ^H3782 by day ^H3117,

And the prophet ^H5030 also ^H1571 will stumble ^H3782 with you by night ^H3915;

And I will destroy ^H1820 your mother ^H517.

Therefore a rumbling ^H7588 will arise ^H6965 among your people ^H5971,

And all ^H3605 your fortifications ^H4013 will be destroyed ^H7703,

As Shalman ^H8020 destroyed ^H7701 Beth-arbel ^H1009 on the day ^H3117 of battle ^H4421,

When mothers ^H517 were dashed ^H7376 in pieces ^H7376 with their children ^H1121.
