Pr 31 The sayings of Lemuel, king of Massa, taught to him by his mother

Do not spend your strength on women, and do not spend your vigor on those who ruin kings. It is not for kings to drink wine, nor strong drink; rather, drink is for those who are perishing, who are in anguish, so that they may forget their misery. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, and for the suffering.
