6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress.
7 He will drink and forget his poverty, and his misery he will not remember any more.
8 Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all the needy.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteousness, and defend the poor and needy.
10 A woman of excellence, who will find? For her worth is far more than precious jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and gain he will not lack.
12 She does him good, but not harm all the days of her life.
