Proverbs:31:1-9

* The words of king Lemuel , the prophecy that his mother taught him . * What , my son ? and what , the son of my womb ? and what , the son of my vows ? * Give not thy strength unto women , nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings . * It is not for kings , O Lemuel , it is not for kings to drink wine ; nor for princes strong drink : * Lest they drink , and forget the law , and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted . * Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish , and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts . * Let him drink , and forget his poverty , and remember his misery no more . * Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction . * Open thy mouth , judge righteously , and plead the cause of the poor and needy .
