Proverbs 31:1-5 ▼

1 These are the wordes of Kynge Lamuel, & ye lesson yt his mother taught him.

2 My sonne, thou sonne of my body: O my deare beloued sonne,

3 geue not ouer thy substaunce & mynde vnto women, which are the destruccio eue of kynges.

4 O Lamuel, geue kinges no wyne, geue kynges & prynces no stronge drynke:

5 lest they beinge dronken forget the lawe, & regarde not ye cause of the poore, & of all soch as be in aduersite.
