1 κρεισσων ανηρ ελεγχων ανδρος σκληροτραχηλου εξαπινης γαρ φλεγομενου αυτου ουκ εστιν ιασις	1 The words of king Lamuel. The vision by which his mother instructed him:
2 εγκωμιαζομενων δικαιων ευφρανθησονται λαοι αρχοντων δε ασεβων στενουσιν ανδρες	2 “What, O my beloved? What, O beloved of my womb? What, O beloved of my vows?
3 ανδρος φιλουντος σοφιαν ευφραινεται πατηρ αυτου ος δε ποιμαινει πορνας απολει πλουτον	3 Do not give your substance to women, or your riches to overthrow kings.
4 βασιλευς δικαιος ανιστησιν χωραν ανηρ δε παρανομος κατασκαπτει	4 Not to kings, O Lamuel, not to kings give wine. For there are no secrets where drunkenness reigns.
