⁴ Not for kings, O Lemuel, Not for kings, to drink wine, And for princes a desire of strong drink.

⁵ Lest he drink, and forget the decree, And change the judgment of any of the sons of affliction.

⁶ Give strong drink to the perishing, And wine to the bitter in soul,

⁷ He drinketh, and forgetteth his poverty, And his misery he remembereth not again.

³⁴ they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.

⁴⁸ and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it] on a reed, was giving him to drink,

²³ and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

³⁶ and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put [it] also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

³⁶ And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;'

²⁹ a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his mouth;

³⁰ when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.
