Proverbs 31:2-10

²What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? and what, O son of my vows?

³Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to them that destroy kings.

⁴It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for rulers to say, Where is the strong drink?

⁵— lest they drink and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the children of affliction.

⁶Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter of soul:

⁷let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

⁸Open thy mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all those that are left desolate.

⁹Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and minister justice to the afflicted and needy.

¹⁰Who can find a woman of worth? for her price is far above rubies.
