Proverbs 31
4 "It is not for kings, O Lemuel— 4 not for kings to drink wine, 4 not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink and forget what the law decrees, 5 and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Give beer to those who are perishing, 6 wine to those who are in anguish;
7 let them drink and forget their poverty 7 and remember their misery no more.
8 "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, 8 for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly; 9 defend the rights of the poor and needy."
