¹ My words have been spoken by God—the oracular answer of a king, whom his mother instructed.

² What wilt thou keep, my son, what? the words of God. My firstborn son, I speak to thee: what? son of my womb? what? son of my vows?

³ Give not thy wealth to women, nor thy mind and living to remorse. Do all things with counsel: drink wine with counsel.

⁴ Princes are prone to anger: let them then not drink wine: ⁵ lest they drink, and forget wisdom, and be not able to judge the poor rightly.

⁶ Give strong drink to those that are in sorrow, and the wine to drink to those in pain: ⁷ that they may forget their poverty, and may not remember their troubles any more. ⁸ Open thy mouth with the word of God, and judge all fairly. ⁹ Open thy mouth and judge justly, and plead the cause of the poor and weak.
