- 利慕伊勒王的言語、是他母親教訓他的真言。
- 我的兒阿、我腹中生的兒阿、我許願得的兒阿、我當怎樣教訓你呢.
- 不要將你的精力給婦女、也不要有敗壞君王的行為。
- 利慕伊勒阿、君王喝酒、君王喝酒不相宜.王子說、濃酒在那裡也不相宜.
- 恐怕喝了就忘記律例、顛倒一切困苦人的是非.

- The sayings of King Lemuel--an oracle his mother taught him:
- "O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows,
- do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings.
- "It is not for kings, O Lemuel-- not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer,
- lest they drink and forget what the law decrees, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
