Proverbs 31:3
World English Bible (WEB)
Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
In context
1 The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him:
2 “Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
3 Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
5 lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
