"Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:"
— Proverbs 31:6, World English 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 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.”
Don't give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
It is not for kings, Lemuel; it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes to say, 'Where is strong drink?'
lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."
