אַל־תִּתֵּן לַנָּשִׁים חֵילֶךָ וּדְרָכֶיךָ לַֽמְחוֹת מְלָכִֽין
Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
אַל לַֽמְלָכִים לְֽמוֹאֵל אַל לַֽמְלָכִים שְׁתוֹ־יָיִן וּלְרוֹזְנִים או שֵׁכָֽר
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine: Nor for princes to say: ‘Where is strong drink?’
פֶּן־יִשְׁתֶּה וְיִשְׁכַּח מְחֻקָּק וִֽישַׁנֶּה דִּין כָּל־בְּנֵי־עֹֽנִי
Lest they drink, and forget that which is decreed, And pervert the justice due to any that is afflicted.
תְּנוּ־שֵׁכָר לְאוֹבֵד וְיַיִן לְמָרֵי נָֽפֶשׁ
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, And wine unto the bitter in soul;
יִשְׁתֶּה וְיִשְׁכַּח רִישׁוֹ וַעֲמָלוֹ לֹא יִזְכָּר־עֽוֹד
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
