May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace;

我们的儿子从幼年好像树栽子长大；我们的女儿如同殿角石，是按建宫的样式凿成的。

我们的儿子从幼年好像树苗长大，我们的女儿如同房角石，按照建宫殿的样式凿成。

我们的儿子从幼年好像树苗长大，我们的女儿如同房角石，按照建宫殿的样式凿成。

愿我们的儿子年轻时像茁壮的树木，我们的女儿像宫殿中精雕的柱子。

愿我们的儿子，在幼年时都像旺盛的树木；愿我们的女儿如同殿四角的柱子，为建造殿宇而凿成的。

我们的儿子在年幼时如同树苗成长；我们的女儿如同房角的柱子，照着宫殿的样式被雕琢。

我們的兒子從幼年好像樹栽子長大；我們的女兒如同殿角石，是按建宮的樣式鑿成的。

我們的兒子從幼年好像樹苗長大，我們的女兒如同房角石，按照建宮殿的樣式鑿成。

我們的兒子從幼年好像樹苗長大，我們的女兒如同房角石，按照建宮殿的樣式鑿成。

願我們的兒子年輕時像茁壯的樹木，我們的女兒像宮殿中精雕的柱子。

願我們的兒子，在幼年時都像旺盛的樹木；願我們的女兒如同殿四角的柱子，為建造殿宇而鑿成的。

有福啊，我們的兒子，當少年時就像植立穩固的譙樓；我們的女兒正如殿角柱像，鑿成了的模形。

我們的兒子在年幼時如同樹苗成長；我們的女兒如同房角的柱子，照著宮殿的樣式被雕琢。

日後我之少男、如長成之樹、我之女子、如屋隅之石、依宮殿之式而雕鏤兮、

使我男子、既壯且健、如園囿之林木、枝葉葱蘢兮、使我女子、洵美且都、如宮殿之柱石、雕鏤工巧兮。

求主使我男子幼年剛強、如栽培之樹木、使我女子容貌美麗、如殿角雕刻之石柱、

願使我子孫。萌蘖成大樹。女子閑坤範。堪充宮中柱。

Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

While our sons are young, they will be like healthy plants. Our daughters will be like pillars that have been made to decorate a palace.

May our sons flourish in their youth like well nurtured plants. May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace.

Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters, like corner pillars that are carved in the palace style.

When our sons in their youth are like growing plants, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace,

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, Sculptured in palace style;

When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner- stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters, like corner pillars that are carved in the palace style.

That our sons[ may be] as plants grown up in their youth;[ that] our daughters[ may be] as corner stones, polished[ after] the similitude of a palace:

Then our sons will be like plants, that quickly grow to full size. Our daughters will be like corner pillars, carved like those in a palace.

Then our sons will be like well- nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.

For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams.This one will say,‘ I am the Lord’s,’ another will call on the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand,‘ The Lord’s,’ and name himself by the name of Israel.”

May the Lord give you increase, you and your children!May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth!

And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job’s daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Do not let your adorning be external— the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar.She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens.She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple.Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant.Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is spoken for?If she is a wall, we will build on her a battlement of silver, but if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

The precious sons of Zion, worth their weight in fine gold, how they are regarded as earthen pots, the work of a potter’s hands!

The Lord said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes, mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet,therefore the Lord will strike with a scab the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents;the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves;the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets;the signet rings and nose rings;the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags;the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.Instead of perfume there will be rottenness; and instead of a belt, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a skirt of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
