Proverbs 31:4-8

⁴It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to take wine, or for rulers to say, Where is strong drink?

⁵For fear that through drinking they may come to have no respect for the law, wrongly judging the cause of those who are in trouble.

⁶Give strong drink to him who is near to destruction, and wine to him whose soul is bitter:

⁷Let him have drink, and his need will go from his mind, and the memory of his trouble will be gone.

⁸Let your mouth be open for those who have no voice, in the cause of those who are ready for death.
