Proverbs 31:3

Do not give your strength to women,
and a way (do not live a lifestyle) that destroys (erases) kings.
[The word for destroy is Hebr. machah. It ss used to describe how text from ancient scrolls (made of leather) was erased. The material was expensive, so it was reused and the ink was washed off. Here it describes a way of life (Hebr. derech) that gradually removes the text (makes it blurred and illegible) until it is completely gone. See also Eccles. 7:26.]
