- 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.
|
- The sayings of King Lemuel--an oracle his mother taught him:
- "O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows,
- do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings.
- "It is not for kings, O Lemuel-- not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer,
- lest they drink and forget what the law decrees, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
|
- 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.
|
- Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish;
- let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.
- "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
- Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character
