Proverbs 31:1-9

Advice from King Lemuel's Mother

Proverbs 31:1-9
1
Words of Lemuel a king, a declaration that his mother taught him:
2
`What, my son? and what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows?
3
Give not to women thy strength, And thy ways to wiping away of kings.
4
Not for kings, O Lemuel, Not for kings, to drink wine, And for princes a desire of strong drink.
5
Lest he drink, and forget the decree, And change the judgment of any of the sons of affliction.
6
Give strong drink to the perishing, And wine to the bitter in soul,
7
He drinketh, and forgetteth his poverty, And his misery he remembereth not again.
8
Open thy mouth for the dumb, For the right of all sons of change.
9
Open thy mouth, judge righteously, Both the cause of the poor and needy!'
