4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, to guzzle wine. Rulers should not crave alcohol. It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, It is not for kings, Lemuel— it is not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer,
5 For if they drink, they may forget the law and not give justice to the oppressed. lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted. lest they drink and forget what has been decreed, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
