Proverbs 31:5-7

The Voice

⁵     For if they do, they will become drunk and forget the decree they just made
        and alter the course of justice for all the poor and afflicted.
⁶     Rather, give liquor to one who is dying,
        and offer wine to those struggling with life’s harsh realities.
⁷     Let such a one drink and forget what he is missing;
        then perhaps he won’t remember his sorrows anymore.
