Bible Text
[9] Kings' daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir. [10] Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father's house. [11] So the king will desire your beauty, Honor him, for he is your lord. [12] The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor. [13] The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold. [14] She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you. [15] With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king's palace. [16] Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.
