Proverbs 31:4-7

International Children’s Bible

⁴ “Kings should not drink wine, Lemuel.
    Rulers should not desire beer.
⁵ If they drink, they might forget the law.
    They might keep the needy from getting their rights.
⁶ Give beer to people who are dying.
    And give wine to those who are sad.
⁷ Let them drink and forget their need.
    Then they won’t remember their misery anymore.
