Proverbs 31:6-9 - Heartlight

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.

⁸Open your mouth for those with no voice,

for the cause of all the dispossessed.

⁹Open your mouth, judge righteously,

and defend the cause of the poor and needy.
