Proverbs 31:4-6
Lexham English Bible

4 It is not for the kings, O Lemuel;
    drinking wine is not for the kings,
    nor is strong drink for rulers.
5 Or else he will drink and forget what has been decreed,
    and he will pervert the rights[a] of all the afflicted.[b]
6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
    and wine to those in bitter distress.[c]
