the Holy One.
Pro
30:4 Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has

Pro
30:10 "Don't slander a servant to his master, lest he curse

away for any;

30:31 the greyhound, the male goat also; and the king against whom
there is no rising up.
Pro
30:32 "If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if
you have thought evil, put your hand over your mouth.
Pro
30:33 For as the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the
wringing of the nose brings forth blood; so the forcing of wrath
brings forth strife."
Pro
31:1 The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught
him.
Pro
31:2 "Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
Pro
31:3 Don't give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which
destroys kings.
Pro
31:4 It is not for kings, Lemuel; it is not for kings to drink wine;
nor for princes to say, 'Where is strong drink?'
Pro
31:5 lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice
due to anyone who is afflicted.
Pro
31:6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to
the bitter in soul:
Pro
31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery
no more.
Pro
31:8 Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left
desolate.
Pro
31:9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the
poor and needy."

rubies.

of gain.

afar.

the bread of idleness.

praises her:

Yahweh, she shall be praised.
Pro
31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her
in the gates!

The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

she shall be praised.
Gracefulness
is deceitful and beauty is vain; a woman [that] feareth Jehovah, she
shall be
praised.
The
grace [is] false, and the beauty [is] vain, A woman fearing Jehovah,
she may boast
herself.
Proverbs 31 31
Give
her of the fruit of her hands; Let her works praise her in the
gates.
Give
her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in
the gates.
Give
ye to her of the fruit of her hands, And her works do praise her in
the gates!

The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
