Proverbs 31:2-7

2What, my sonH1248? and what, the sonH1248 of my wombH990? and what, the sonH1248 of my vowsH5088?

3GiveH5414 not thy strengthH2428 unto womenH802, nor thy waysH1870 to that which destroyethH4229 kingsH4428.

4It is not for kingsH4428, O LemuelH3927, it is not for kingsH4428 to drinkH8354 wineH3196; nor forH176H335 princesH7336 strong drinkH7941:

5Lest they drinkH8354, and forgetH7911 the lawH2710, and pervertH8138 the judgmentH1779 of any of the afflictedH6040H1121.12

6GiveH5414 strong drinkH7941 unto him that is ready to perishH6, and wineH3196 unto those that be of heavyH4751 heartsH5315.3

7Let him drinkH8354, and forgetH7911 his povertyH7389, and rememberH2142 his miseryH5999 no more.
