Proverbs 31:3 in context

  1. 1The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.
  2. 2What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows?
  3. 3Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
  4. 4It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; Nor for princes to say, Where is strong drink?
  5. 5Lest they drink, and forget the law, And pervert the justice due to any that is afflicted.
