Proverbs

⁶Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, And wine unto the bitter in soul: ⁷Let him drink, and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more. ⁸Open thy mouth for the dumb, In the cause of all such as are left desolate. ⁹Open thy mouth, judge righteously, And minister justice to the poor and needy. ¹⁰A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies. ¹¹The heart of her husband trusteth in her, And he shall have no lack of gain. ¹²She doeth him good and not evil All the days of her life.
