"Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. "
— Proverbs 31:3, American Standard Version
“Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.”
“Don't give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.”
“Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which ruins kings.”
“Give not thy substance to women, and thy riches to destroy kings.”
“Do not give your strength to women, or your ways to that which is the destruction of kings.”
“Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.”
The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.
What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows?
Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; Nor for princes to say, Where is strong drink?
Lest they drink, and forget the law, And pervert the justice due to any that is afflicted.
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, And wine unto the bitter in soul:
