1 THE words of Moael, a king and prophet, which his mother taught him, saying, 2 Oh my son! Oh the son of my womb! Oh the son of my vows! 3 Give not your strength to women, nor your ways to the extravagance of kings. 4 Of kings, O Moael, be careful of kings who drink wine; and of princes who drink strong drink, 5 Lest you drink and forget the law and forsake the judgment of the afflicted. 6 Let strong drink be given to those who mourn, and wine to those who are of heavy heart, 7 That they may drink, and forget their sorrows, and remember their miseries no more. Proverbs 31:1-7, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
