Proverbs [Sayings] 31:1-4

¹The words of king Lemuel; the revelation which his mother taught him.

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?’
