- 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.

- 利慕伊勒王的言语,是他母亲教训他的真言。
- 我的儿阿,我腹中生的儿阿,我许愿得的儿阿,我当怎样教训你呢。
- 不要将你的精力给妇女,也不要有败坏君王的行为。
- 利慕伊勒阿,君王喝酒,君王喝酒不相宜。王子说,浓酒在那里也不相宜。
- 恐怕喝了就忘记律例,颠倒一切困苦人的是非。
