†[吕]利慕伊勒王的话，他母亲教训他的神托之言：

†[GNT] These are the solemn words which King Lemuel's mother said to him:

†[NIV]The sayings of King Lemuel-an oracle his mother taught him:

本会注释　　真言。或音译为“Massa”（玛撒）。关于Massa，见@箴30:1@注释。本章在风格和思想上比第30章更接近于《箴言》的其他章节。故有人认为是所罗门所写的。他们把利慕伊勒看作是所罗门的另一个名字。但这无法确定，而且作者的准确身份也并不很重要。本章的话语是出于灵感的，充满着有价值的勉言。七十士译本用一下的话引出本章：“我是话是上帝所说的，是一位国王出于灵感的回答。他是受他母亲教导的。”

本会注释　　“我该告诉你什么呢？”“我该劝你什么呢？”

本会注释　　可以把浓酒。参箴20:1；23:29-35；见@申14:26@注释。

将亡的人。古代不具备现代医生所拥有的麻醉知识。他们只能用各种酒和麻醉性药草饮料，来缓解致命疾病的痛苦。在基督的时代，要向被钉十字架的人提供醋和胆汁混合饮料。我们的主拒绝喝这种饮料。祂要保持清醒的头脑抵抗撒但的试探，保持对上帝的坚定信心（见太27:34；《历代愿望》第746,754,755页）。

箴31:7 让他喝了，就忘记他的贫穷，不再记念他的苦楚。

†[吕]让他喝了，就把他的穷乏忘了，不再怀念他的苦难了。

本会注释　　有时一个女人在行善上会表现得消极。这可能是因为丈夫没有表扬她的善行，没有注意到她是精明的管家，而只把她视为伴侣而已（见第28节），所以她变得懒散，粗心，固执而蛮横。

本会注释　　这里的腰带指富人所束刺绣华丽的细麻腰带，而不是普通的皮带。妻子把细麻布衣裳和腰带与腓尼基商人交易，就能穿得起豪华的紫色布衣服而在不致奢侈（见第22节）。

箴31:25 能力和威仪是她的衣服；她想到日后的景况就喜笑。

怀爱伦注释　　仁爱之律在你的口中──上帝必帮助我们每个人在最需要的地方，那就是制服自我的崇高工作，让仁爱之律在你的口中，让恩典之油在你的心里，而这必会产生奇妙的果效。你必是温柔、同情、和有礼貌的，你需要这一切的恩惠，这圣灵务须被接纳并带进你的品格中。于是，这就会如圣火发出香气上升至上帝面前，那从口中发出不是谴责，而是如一位医治人的医师，你的容貌表现出上帝的形象。并且也不述说尖锐、批评、迟钝或严厉的话了，而这凡火必须要从我们一切的议会和与我们弟兄交往间省去，上帝要求在衪服务中的每个人应从圣火的炭点燃他们的香炉，那从你口中容易出来的平凡、严厉和粗糙的话必须予以抑制住。而上帝的灵要通过人类代表说话，藉着观望基督的品格，你必改变成为衪的形象，唯独基督的恩典能改变你的心，而后你就能反射出主耶稣的形象。上帝要求我们要象衪-就是纯洁、神圣和无玷秽，我们应当带着上帝的形象。（1899,84号信件）
　　见怀爱伦注释-|e加3:12,13|
　　活的仁爱之律法──主耶稣是我们唯一的帮助者，我们藉着衪的恩典必学得去培育爱情、和训练我们说仁爱和温柔的话，通过衪的恩典，我们的冷酷粗鲁的模样必要起改变，仁爱的律法必在我们的口中，凡是那些在圣灵的宝贵影响之下的人必不觉得与那哀哭的人同哭，与喜乐的人同乐是一件软弱的证据，我们应培养天上品格的优美，我们也应学习知道何谓向众人行善，那就是真实愿望在别人的生活中如作直射的日光，而不是阴影。
　　我的弟兄们，让你的心成为一颗破碎痛悔的心，让你所表现的同情的热爱从你的口吐露出来，而必不使你的舌头烫出疱、唯愿别人能感到你从心中所制造出来爱的温暖，并教导那自称是基督徒的去改正那久存在心中的邪恶就是自私、冷酷和心地刚硬，所有这些特性都是显示基督没有住在心中的事实。［加3:12,13］（《评论与通讯》1894,1,2）
本会注释　　一个花费大量时间闲聊的女人，不可能取得这个女人那样的许多成就。她的声音表现出仁慈。她温柔的话语，为保持家庭的安宁起到很大的作用。

箴31:27 她观察家务，并不吃闲饭。

†[吕]她视察家务，总不吃闲饭。

†[思]她不断督察家务，从不白吃饭。

†[Nkjv]She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.

†[BBE]She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it.

†[GNT] She is always busy and looks after her family's needs.

怀爱伦注释　　见怀爱伦注释-|e赛65:21-23|
　　没有懒惰的信徒──这部圣经并不承认信徒是懒惰的，不论他的职务是怎样高。在天上是有职业的，那赎民的状态并不是一个静卧的人，因此那要遗留给子民的一个安息乃是从爱人服务中的得到的。（1905,203号信件）
本会注释　　参帖后3:10。

箴31:28 她的儿女起来称她有福；她的丈夫也称赞她，

†[吕]她的儿女起来，称她为有福；她的丈夫也称赞她，说：

†[思]她的子女起来向她祝福，她的丈夫对她赞不绝口：“

†[当代]儿女起来向她问安，丈夫对她也赞不绝口，

†[BBE]Her children get up and give her honour, and her husband gives her praise, saying,

†[GNT] Her children show their appreciation, and her husband praises her.

†[NIV]Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:

本会注释　　儿女公开见证她的仁爱和关怀，对于一个母亲来说，乃是丰富的奖赏。对于一个兢兢业业，勤俭持家的好妻子，丈夫不论怎么称赞再不过分。

箴31:29 说：才德的女子很多，惟独你超过一切。

†[吕]“有才德的女子倒也不少，惟独你超群出众。”

†[思]贤淑的女子很多，唯有你超群群出众。”

†[当代]他说：“世上有很多贤淑能干的女子，但你却是最好的一个。”

†[新译]“有才德的女子很多，但你比她们更超卓。”

†[Wlb]曰、贤女甚多、惟尔为冠、

†[Xdv]她的丈夫说：“贤慧的女子不少，但你远超过她们！”

†[Kjv]Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

†[Nkjv]"Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all."

†[BBE]Unnumbered women have done well, but you are better than all of them.

†[GNT] He says, "Many women are good wives, but you are the best of them all."

†[NIV]Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."

本会注释　　这是丈夫的证词。

箴31:30 艳丽是虚假的，美容是虚浮的；惟敬畏耶和华的妇女必得称赞。 (串)箴11:16

†[吕]艳丽乃虚假；美容是浮华；惟独敬畏永恒主的妇女、才配得称赞。

†[当代]姿色是虚幻的，美丽也只是泡影；惟有敬畏主的妇女，才配得称赞。

†[新译]艳丽是虚假的，美容是虚浮的；唯有敬畏耶和华的妇女，必得称赞。

†[Wlb]美姿属伪、艳色为虚、惟寅畏耶和华之妇、必得称扬、

†[Xdv]娇艳是靠不住的，美容是虚幻的，只有敬畏上主的女子应受赞扬。

†[Kjv]Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

†[Nkjv]Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

†[BBE]Fair looks are a deceit, and a beautiful form is of no value; but a woman who has the fear of the Lord is to be praised.

†[GNT] Charm is deceptive and beauty disappears, but a woman who honors the Lord should be praised.

†[NIV]Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

本会注释　　魅力和美丽本身没有什么价值。一些形体和面容都很美的人，在日常生活的压力下并不显可爱。美丽会赢得无心的称赞。但真有价值的女人乃是敬畏上帝的人。只有她才拥有真正的美丽和魅力。敬畏上帝涉及到人生和品格的许多重要方面。

箴31:31 愿她享受操作所得的；愿她的工作在城门口荣耀她。

†[吕]愿她的手所作的效果归她享受；愿她的工作在城门口称赞她。（箴31：10－31每节首字第一字母的次序即是希伯来文字母的次序）

†[新译]愿她享受自己手所作的成果；愿她的工作在城门口使她受称赞。

†[Wlb]以其操作之果效归之、愿其工作于邑门荣之、

†[Xdv]她所做的事都有价值；她应当公开受赞扬。

†[Kjv]Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

†[Nkjv]Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.

†[BBE]Give her credit for what her hands have made: let her be praised by her works in the public place.

†[GNT] Give her credit for all she does. She deserves the respect of everyone.

†[NIV]Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

本会注释　　人心无法测度。所以只能通过生活行为中所结出的果实，来判断别人的品格。城门口是议论城里居民的场所。才德的女人有她的行为替她说话。她不需要人替她辩护。她将永远享受自己无私劳动和好榜样所结出的甜蜜果实。
