Proverbs 31:2-4

Common English Bible

² No, my son!
    No, son of my womb!
    No, son of my solemn promises!
³ Don’t give your strength to women,
    your ways to those who wipe out kings.
⁴ It isn’t for kings, Lemuel,
    it isn’t for kings to drink wine,
    for rulers to crave^[a] strong drink.
