"Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those who are bitterly distressed;"
— Proverbs 31:6, NET Bible
“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 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.”
Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which ruins kings.
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to crave strong drink,
lest they drink and forget what is decreed, and remove from all the poor their legal rights.
Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those who are bitterly distressed;
let them drink and forget their poverty, and remember their misery no more.
Open your mouth on behalf of those unable to speak, for the legal rights of all the dying.
Open your mouth, judge in righteousness, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
