Proverbs 31:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 31:3

The Words of King Lemuel’s Mother

1 The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him:

2 What, my son?
And what, son of my womb?
And what, ^ason of my vows?

3 ^aDo not give your strength to women,
Nor your ways ^bto that which destroys kings.

4 ^aIt is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink;

5 ^aLest they drink and forget the law,
And pervert the justice of all¹ the afflicted.
