Proverbs 31:5-15 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

5. And lest they drink and forget judgments, and pervert the cause of the children of the poor.

6. Give strong drink to them that are sad: and wine to them that are grieved in mind:

7. Let them drink, and forget their want, and remember their sorrow no more.

8. Open thy mouth for the dumb, and for the causes of all the children that pass.

9. Open thy mouth, decree that which is just, and do justice to the needy and poor.

10. Who shall find a valiant woman? far and from the uttermost coasts is the price of her.

11. The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and he shall have no need of spoils.

12. She will render him good, and not evil, all the days of her life.

13. She hath sought wool and flax, and hath wrought by the counsel of her hands.

14. She is like the merchant's ship, she bringeth her bread from afar.

15. And she hath risen in the night, and given a prey to her household, and victuals to her maidens.
