4. It is not for kings, O Lemuel,it is not for kings to drink wine,or for rulers to crave strong drink,
5. lest they drink and forget what is decreed,and remove from all the poor their legal rights.
6. Give strong drink to the one who is perishing,and wine to those who are bitterly distressed;
7. let them drink and forget their poverty,and remember their misery no more.
8. Open your mouth on behalf of those unable to speak,for the legal rights of all the dying.
9. Open your mouth, judge in righteousness,and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
