Proverbs 31:7-9

The Voice

⁷     Let such a one drink and forget what he is missing;
        then perhaps he won’t remember his sorrows anymore.
⁸     Speak out on behalf of those who have no voice,
        and defend all those who have been passed over.
⁹     Open your mouth, judge fairly,
        and stand up for the rights of the afflicted and the poor.
