vw@Proverbs:31:3 @ Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

vw@Proverbs:31:4 @ It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes strong drink;

vw@Proverbs:31:5 @ lest they drink, and forget the Law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
