Proverbs

31 1 The words of King Lemuel, an oracle that his mother taught him:

2 O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows,
3 Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which ruins kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to crave strong drink,
5 lest they drink and forget what is decreed, and remove from all the poor their legal rights.

6 Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those who are bitterly distressed;
7 let them drink and forget their poverty, and remember their misery no more.

8 Open your mouth on behalf of those unable to speak, for the legal rights of all the dying.
9 Open your mouth, judge in righteousness, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
