It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to crave strong drink,

In context
1 Maneno ya mfalme Lemueli - mausia aliyofundishwa na mama yake.
2 Mwanangu nini? Na ni nini mwana wa tumbo langu? Na ni nini mwana wa nadhiri zangu?
3 Nguvu zako usiwape wanawake; au wenye kuharibu wafalme njia zako.
4 Lemueli, kunywa divai, siyo kwa ajili ya wafalme, wala kwa watawala kuuliza, “ kileo kikali kiko wapi?”
5 Kwa sababu kama watakunywa, watasahau sheria ni nini, na kupotosha haki za wote walioonewa.
6 Wape kileo kikali watu wanaopotea na mvinyo kwa wale wenye kutaabika kwa uchungu.
7 Atakunywa na kusahau umasikini wake na hataikumbuka taabu yake.
