ASV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H1697 The words H4428 of king H3927 Lemuel; H4853 the oracle H517 which his mother H3256 taught him.

2 H1248 What, my son? H1248 and what, O son H990 of my womb? H1248 And what, O son H5088 of my vows?

3 H5414 Give H2428 not thy strength H802 unto women, H1870 Nor thy ways H4229 to that which destroyeth H4428 kings.

4 H4428 It is not for kings, H3927 O Lemuel, H4428 it is not for kings H8354 to drink H3196 wine; H335 Nor for H7336 princes H7941 to say, Where is strong drink?

5 H8354 Lest they drink, H7911 and forget H2710 the law, H8138 And pervert H1779 the justice H1121 due to any that is afflicted.

6 H5414 Give H7941 strong drink H6 unto him that is ready to perish, H3196 And wine H4751 unto the bitter H5315 in soul:

7 H8354 Let him drink, H7911 and forget H7389 his poverty, H2142 And remember H5999 his misery no more.

8 H6605 Open H6310 thy mouth H483 for the dumb, H1779 In the cause H1121 of all such as are left H2475 desolate.

9 H6605 Open H6310 thy mouth, H8199 judge H6664 righteously, H1777 And minister H6041 justice to the poor H6041 and needy.
