5 Lest they drink and forget the law, And pervert the right of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to those embittered in being.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty, And remember his trouble no more.
8 Open your mouth for the dumb, In the cause of all the sons of the departed.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy.
10 Who does find a capable wife? For she is worth far more than rubies.
11 The heart of her husband shall trust her, And he has no lack of gain.
