Proverbs 31:4-7
Legacy Standard Bible
4 It is not for (A)kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to (B)drink wine,
Or for rulers to desire strong drink,
5 Lest he drink and forget what is decreed,
And (C)pervert the justice of all the [a]afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is (D)perishing,
And wine to those (E)whose soul is bitter.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty
And he will not remember his trouble any longer.

4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine
or for rulers to desire[a] strong drink,(A)

and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to one who is perishing
and wine to those in bitter distress;
7 let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
