The words of king Lamuel. The vision by which his mother instructed him:
2 “O kachapa, kanaobua kon'a kahin kachapa, ipi mong ham, kitepna vanga kahinsa kachapa?
“What, O my beloved? What, O beloved of my womb? What, O beloved of my vows?

Do not give your substance to women, or your riches to overthrow kings.

Not to kings, O Lamuel, not to kings give wine. For there are no secrets where drunkenness reigns.
