In context

54My words have been spoken by God— The oracular answer of a king, whom his mother instructed.

55What wilt thou keep, my son, what? the words of God. My firstborn son, I speak to thee: What? son of my womb? What? son of my vows?

— Proverbs 24:56 —

57Princes are prone to anger: Let them then not drink wine:

58Lest they drink, and forget wisdom, And be not able to judge the poor rightly.
