Proverbs 31 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

The Words of Lemuel

Pro 31:1The words of king Lemo'el; the oracle which his mother taught him.

Pro 31:2"Oh, my son!" Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!

Pro 31:3Don't give your strength to women, Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

Pro 31:4It is not for kings, Lemo'el; It is not for kings to drink wine; Nor for princes to say, 'Where is strong drink?'

Pro 31:5

Pro 31:5Lest they drink, and forget the law, And pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.

Pro 31:6

Pro 31:6Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; And wine to the bitter in soul:

Pro 31:7

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

Pro 31:8

Pro 31:8Open your mouth for the mute, In the cause of all who are left desolate.

Pro 31:9

Pro 31:9Open your mouth, judge righteously, And serve justice to the poor and needy."
