Proverbs 31:4-7
Christian Standard Bible
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel,
it is not for kings(A) to drink wine(B)
or for rulers to desire beer.
5 Otherwise, he will drink,
forget what is decreed,(C)
and pervert justice for all the oppressed.[a](D)
6 Give beer to one who is dying
and wine to one whose life is bitter.(E)
7 Let him drink so that he can forget his poverty
and remember his trouble no more.(F)

Proverbs 31:4-7
Common English Bible
4 It isn’t for kings, Lemuel,
it isn’t for kings to drink wine,
for rulers to crave[a] strong drink.
5 Otherwise, they will drink and forget the law,
and violate the rights of the needy.
6 Give strong drink to those who are perishing
and wine to those whose hearts are bitter.
7 Let them drink and forget their poverty
and no longer remember their toil.
