Proverbs 31:1-5
Proverbs 31:1
The words of King Lemuel, the pronouncement which his mother taught him:
Proverbs 31:2
What, my son? And what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows?
Proverbs 31:3
Do not give your strength to women, Or your ways to that which destroys kings.
Proverbs 31:4
It is not for kings, Lemuel, It is not for kings to drink wine, Or for rulers to desire intoxicating drink,
Proverbs 31:5
Otherwise they will drink and forget what is decreed, And pervert the rights of all the needy.
