2What, my son? What is it, son of my womb? What do you want, son of my vows?
3Do not give your strength to women, or your ways to those who destroy kings.
4It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to crave strong drink,
5because when they drink they forget what has been decreed, and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.
6Give strong drink to a person who is perishing and wine to those in bitter distress.
7He will drink and he will forget his poverty and he will not remember his trouble.
