Proverbs 31:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Give not thy substance to women, and thy riches to destroy kings.

⁴ Give not to kings, O Lamuel, give not wine to kings: because there is no secret where drunkenness reigneth:

⁵ And lest they drink and forget judgments, and pervert the cause of the children of the poor.
