2. What, my son? And what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows?
3. Do not give your strength to women, Nor your ways to wiping away sovereigns.
4. Not for sovereigns, O Lemu’ĕl, Not for sovereigns to drink wine, Nor for princes to desire strong drink;
5. Lest they drink and forget the law, And pervert the right of all the afflicted.
