Proverbs 31:2-4

Revised Standard Version

² What, my son? What, son of my womb?
    What, son of my vows?
³ Give not your strength to women,
    your ways to those who destroy kings.
⁴ It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
    it is not for kings to drink wine,
    or for rulers to desire^[a] strong drink;
