Proverbs 31:7-9

⁷If they drink, they will forget that they are poor, and they will not think about their distress/troubles anymore.

⁸Speak MTY to defend people who are unable to defend themselves; speak to encourage others to do what is right for those who are helpless.

⁹Speak MTY ◄on their behalf/to help them► and try to cause judges to decide matters fairly/justly; try to cause others to do for poor and needy people what should be done for them.
