Proverbs 31:4 - 31:7

« Prov 30 | Prov 31 | Eccles 1 »

4

It is not for kings, O Lemuel,

It is not for kings to drink wine,

Or for rulers to desire strong drink,

5

Lest he drink and forget what is decreed,

And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.

6

Give strong drink to him who is perishing,

And wine to those whose soul is bitter.

7

Let him drink and forget his poverty

And he will not remember his trouble any longer.
