- The words of King Lemuel, the oracle which his mother taught him:
- What, O my son? And what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows?
- Do not give your strength to women, Or your ways to that which destroys kings.
- It is not for kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to drink wine, Or for rulers to desire strong drink,
- For they will drink and forget what is decreed, And pervert the rights of all 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.
