Proverbs 31:2-7

²“Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!

³Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

⁴It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’

⁵lest they drink, and forget the decree, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.

⁶Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.

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