- 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.
|
- 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 to him who is perishing, And wine to him whose life is bitter.
- Let him drink and forget his poverty And remember his trouble no more.
- Open your mouth for the mute, For the rights of all the unfortunate.
- Open your mouth, judge righteously, And defend the rights of the afflicted 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
