Proverbs

⁵Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any that is afflicted. 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 judgment to the poor and needy. ¹⁰A virtuous 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.
