Interlinear Bible - Proverbs 31:1-9

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

w{Mia .WT;r.SIy -r,v]a a'F;m .$,l,m lea.Wm.l yer.biD

2 What, O my son? And what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows?

3 Do not give your strength to women, Or your ways to that which destroys kings.

4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to drink wine, Or for rulers to desire strong drink,

5 For they will drink and forget what is decreed, And pervert the rights of all the afflicted.

6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to him whose life is bitter.

7 Let him drink and forget his poverty And remember his trouble no more.
