Mishle 31:4-6
Orthodox Jewish Bible

4 It is not for melachim, O Lemuel, it is not for melachim to drink yayin; nor for rulers to crave strong drink;

5 Lest they drink, and forget the decree, and pervert the justice of the bnei oni (all the oppressed afflicted people).

6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and yayin unto those that be of bitter nefesh.
