Proverbs 31:4-7

⁴It is not for kings, O Lemuel,

it is not for kings to drink wine,

or for rulers to crave strong drink,

⁵lest they drink and forget what is decreed,

depriving all the oppressed of justice.

⁶Give strong drink to one who is perishing,

and wine to the bitter in soul.

⁷Let him drink and forget his poverty,

and remember his misery no more.

— Proverbs 31:4-7
