Proverbs
Chapters 31:1-5
New International Version Anglicized
1The sayings of King Lemuel – an inspired utterance his mother taught him.
2Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!
3Do not spend your strength on women,your vigour on those who ruin kings.
4It is not for kings, Lemuel –it is not for kings to drink wine,not for rulers to crave beer,
5lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
