Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings." — Proverbs 31:3 (ASV)
Nor your ways to that which destroys kings. —A slight change in the punctuation will give a better sense, “to those that destroy kings,” i.e., women. Do not give your life to dissipation at their bidding. (Compare to Proverbs 6:24 and following; 1 Kings 11:1).
