Proverbs 31:1-7

¹These are sayings/messages that God gave to King Lemuel's mother, and which his mother taught him:

²You are my son; I gave birth to you RHQ; you are the son that God gave me in answer to my prayers.

³Do not exhaust your energy having sex EUP with women to whom you are not married, with women who ruin kings by having sex with them.

⁴Lemuel, kings should not be constantly drinking wine or greatly desire to drink other strong/alcoholic drinks.

⁵If they do that, they forget the laws that they have made, and they do not do what is right for poor/afflicted people.

⁶Give strong/alcoholic drinks to those who are dying and to those who are ◄greatly distressed/suffering very much►.

⁷If they drink, they will forget that they are poor, and they will not think about their distress/troubles anymore.
