1 The sayings of King Lemuel, a prophetic revelation, used by his mother to discipline him. 2 |What, my son? What, son to whom I gave birth? What, son of my prayers? 3 Don't give your strength to women or your power to those who ruin kings. 4 |It is not for kings, Lemuel. It is not for kings to drink wine or for rulers to crave liquor. 5 Otherwise, they drink and forget what they have decreed and change the standard of justice for all oppressed people.
