Proverbs 31:1-3 CSB – The words of King Lemuel, a pronouncement that his mother taught him: 2 What should I say, my son? What, son of my womb? What, son of my vows? 3 Don’t spend your energy on women or your efforts on those who destroy kings.
Avoid sexual immorality
Proverbs 31:4-7 CSB – It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine or for rulers to desire beer. 5 Otherwise, he will drink, forget what is decreed, and pervert justice for all the oppressed. 6 Give beer to one who is dying and wine to one whose life is bitter. 7 Let him drink so that he can forget his poverty and remember his trouble no more.
Avoid being intoxicated
Proverbs 31:8-9 CSB – Speak up for those who have no voice, for the justice of all who are dispossessed. 9 Speak up, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the oppressed and needy.
Seek justice
