Proverbs 31:4-7

Living Bible

⁴ And it is not for kings, O Lemuel, to drink wine and whiskey. ⁵ For if they drink, they may forget their duties and be unable to give justice to those who are oppressed. ^6-7 Hard liquor is for sick men at the brink of death, and wine for those in deep depression. Let them drink to forget their poverty and misery.
