Do not give your substance to women, or your riches to overthrow kings.
Not to kings, O Lamuel, not to kings give wine. For there are no secrets where drunkenness reigns.
And perhaps they may drink and forget judgments, and alter the case of the sons of the poor.
Give strong drink to the grieving, and wine to those who are bitter in soul.
Let them drink, and forget their needs, and remember their sorrow no more.
Open your mouth for the mute and for all the cases of the sons who are passing through.
Open your mouth, declare what is just, and do justice to the indigent and the poor.
