9 Among thy women honourable, Kings daughters [waiting] were at hand; And on thy right hand did the Queen In [precious] gold of Ophir stand.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and advise; To me incline [and bow] thine ear; Thy people and thy father's house Forget [thou must] and count not dear.
11 And then thy beauty to the King Shall always [very] pleasant be; And do thou humbly worship him, Seeing thy [rightful] Lord is he.
12 The daughter there of wealthy Tyre With a rich gift shall [waiting] be; And all the rich throughout the land Shall [humbly] make their suit to thee.
