(It is) not for Kings, O Lemuel, (it is) not for Kings to drink wine, nor for princes to lust for strong drink; lest they drink and forget what is decreed and pervert the right of the sons of the afflicted! Give strong drink to one perishing and wine to the bitter of soul; let him drink and forget his poverty, and his misery not remember more. Open your mouth for the dumb, to the cause of all the sons fatherless. Open your mouth; judge righteously and defend the poor and needy. An able women who can find?
