1. The words of Lemuel, king of Massa, the instruction his mother taught him:
2. What are you doing, my son!what are you doing, son of my womb;what are you doing, son of my vows!
3. Do not give your vigor to women,or your strength to those who ruin kings.
4. It is not for kings, Lemuel,not for kings to drink wine;strong drink is not for princes,
