1 The words of king Lemuel; the burden wherewith his mother corrected him. 2 What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows? 3 Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine: Nor for princes to say: 'Where is strong drink?' 5 Lest they drink, and forget that which is decreed, And pervert the justice due to any that is afflicted. Proverbs 31:1-5, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
