5lest they drink, and forget wisdom, and be not able to judge the poor rightly.
6Give strong drink to those that are in sorrow, and the wine to drink to those in pain:
7that they may forget their poverty, and may not remember their troubles any more.
8Open your mouth with the word of God, and judge all fairly.
9Open your mouth and judge justly, and plead the cause of the poor and weak.
10Who shall find a virtuous woman? for such a one is more valuable than precious stones.
11The heart of her husband trusts in her: such a one shall stand in no need of fine spoils.
12For she employs all her living for her husband's good.
13Gathering wool and flax, she makes it serviceable with her hands.
