Proverbs

⁷Let them drink to forget their troubles. Let them forget they are poor. ⁸Speak up for people who cannot speak for themselves. Help people who are in trouble. ⁹Stand up for what you know is right, and judge all people fairly. Protect the rights of the poor and those who need help. ¹⁰How hard it is to find the perfect wife. She is worth far more than jewels. ¹¹Her husband depends on her. He will never be poor. ¹²She does good for her husband all her life. She never causes him trouble. ¹³She is always gathering wool and flax and enjoys making things with her hands.
