Proverbs 31:4-7
21st Century King James Version
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel — it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes strong drink,
5 lest they drink and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7 Let them drink and forget their poverty, and remember their misery no more.

4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,(A)
not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink(B) and forget what has been decreed,(C)
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine(D) for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink(E) and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
