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.
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!
