Hmm, makes me think of King Lemuel's mother for some reason, and yet verse 3 is ironic.
Proverbs 31
1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
