Proverbs 31:4-6
International Standard Version

4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
    Not for kings to drink wine
        or for rulers to desire liquor.
5 Otherwise, they may drink and forget what has been ordained,
    perverting justice for all the oppressed.

6 Give liquor to someone who is perishing,
    and wine to someone who is deeply depressed.[a]
