Proverbs 31:1 The words of king Lemo'el; the oracle which his mother taught him. 2 "Oh, my son!" Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows! 3 Don't give your strength to women, Nor your ways to that which destroys kings. 4 It is not for kings, Lemo'el; It is not for kings to drink wine; Nor for princes to say, 'Where is strong drink?' 5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, And pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted. 6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; And wine to the bitter in soul: 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more. 8 Open your mouth for the mute, In the cause of all who are left desolate. 9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, And serve justice to the poor and needy."
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go - in the way he was born to live, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
