Proverbs 31:4

The Oracle Of King Lemuel

³ Don’t spend your energy on women
or your efforts on those who destroy kings.
⁴ It is not for kings, Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine
or for rulers to desire beer.
⁵ Otherwise, they will drink,
forget what is decreed,
and pervert justice for all the oppressed.
