Proverbs 31:3-5
International Standard Version
3 Never devote all your energy to sex,[a]
or dedicate your life[b] to destroying kings.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
Not for kings to drink wine
or for rulers to desire liquor.
5 Otherwise, they may drink and forget what has been ordained,
perverting justice for all the oppressed.
