- 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.

- 利慕伊勒王的言語、是他母親教訓他的真言。
- 我的兒阿、我腹中生的兒阿、我許願得的兒阿、我當怎樣教訓你呢.
- 不要將你的精力給婦女、也不要有敗壞君王的行為。
- 利慕伊勒阿、君王喝酒、君王喝酒不相宜.王子說、濃酒在那裡也不相宜.
- 恐怕喝了就忘記律例、顛倒一切困苦人的是非.
