Keep deception and lies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the food that is my portion,

That I not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the Lord?”
Or that I not be in want and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

Don't lie about a servant to his master, or that servant will curse you and you will pay for it.

She is like the merchants' ship, that bringeth her victuals from afar.

and reveals that her arms are strong.

She makes for herself coverlets, cushions, and rugs of tapestry.
Her clothing is linen, pure and fine, and purple [wool].

She makes [fine] linen garments and sells them;
And supplies sashes to the merchants.

Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure;
And she smiles at the future [knowing that she and her family are prepared].

Many daughters there be that gather riches together, but thou goest above them all.

Gracefulness is deceitful and beauty is vain; a woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.
