American King James Version
"Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts. "
— Proverbs 31:6, American King James Version
“Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.”
“Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, And wine unto the bitter in soul: ”
“Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:”
“Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those who are bitterly distressed;”
“Give strong drink to them that are sad; and wine to them that are grieved in mind:”
“Give strong drink to him who is near to destruction, and wine to him whose soul is bitter:”
“Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.”
Give not your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts.
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Open your mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. ¶
