3Give thou not thy chattel or thy substance to women, and thy riches to do away kings.
4A! Lemuel, do not thou give wine to kings; for no privacy there is, where drunkenness reigneth.
5Lest peradventure they drink, and forget dooms, and change the cause of the sons of a poor man.
6Give ye cider to them that mourn, and wine to them that be of bitter soul.
7Drink they, and forget they their neediness; and think they no more on their sorrow.
8Open thy mouth for a dumb man, and open thy mouth for the causes of all sons that pass forth.
9Deem thou that that is just, and deem thou a needy man and a poor man.
10Who shall find a strong woman? the price of her is a far, and from the last or utmost ends.
11The heart of her husband trusteth in her; and he shall not have need to robberies.
12She shall yield to him good, and not evil, in all the days of her life.
