Proverbs 31:2-4
International Standard Version

2 No,[a] my son!
    No,[b] my son whom I conceived![c]
        No,[d] my son to whom I gave birth![e]
3 Never devote all your energy to sex,[f]
    or dedicate your life[g] to destroying kings.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
    Not for kings to drink wine
        or for rulers to desire liquor.
