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;

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

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.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table.

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:and they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.One shall say, I am Jehovah’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto Jehovah, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

Jehovah increase you more and more, You and your children.Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth.Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.The heart of her husband trusteth in her, And he shall have no lack of gain.She doeth him good and not evil All the days of her life.She seeketh wool and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands.She is like the merchant- ships; She bringeth her bread from afar.She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth food to her household, And their task to her maidens.She considereth a field, and buyeth it; With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms.She perceiveth that her merchandise is profitable; Her lamp goeth not out by night.She layeth her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.She is not afraid of the snow for her household; For all her household are clothed with scarlet.She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land.She maketh linen garments and selleth them, And delivereth girdles unto the merchant.Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laugheth at the time to come.She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue.She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness.

We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for?If she be a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver: And if she be a door, We will inclose her with boards of cedar.

The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, How are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!

Moreover Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and the cauls, and the crescents;the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers;the headtires, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume- boxes, and the amulets;the rings, and the nose- jewels;the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels;the hand- mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils.And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well set hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.
