Do not give your strength to women, or your ways to those who wipe out kings.
In context
1The words of Lemuel, a king—an oracle by which his mother disciplined him: 2“What, my son? What, son of my womb? What, son of my vows? 3Do not give your strength to women, or your ways to those who wipe out kings. 4It is not for kings, Lemuel—not for kings to drink wine, nor for rulers to ask, ‘Where is the strong drink?’ 5or he will drink and forget what has been decreed and twist the justice due to all the afflicted.
