Proverbs 31:2-7
2What, O my son? And what, O 1son of my womb? And what, O son of my 2vows?33Do not give your strength to women, Or your ways to that which 4destroys kings.4It is not for 5kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to 6drink wine, Or for rulers to desire strong drink,5For they will drink and forget what is decreed, And 7pervert the 8rights of all the 9afflicted.6Give strong drink to him who is 10perishing, And wine to him 1112whose life is bitter.7Let him drink and forget his poverty And remember his trouble no more.
