Proverbs 31:2-5

New King James Version

² What, my son?
And what, son of my womb?
And what, ^(A)son of my vows?
^3 (B)Do not give your strength to women,
Nor your ways ^(C)to that which destroys kings.

^4 (D)It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink;
^5 (E)Lest they drink and forget the law,
And pervert the justice of all ^[a]the afflicted.
