American Standard Version
Proverbs 31:4-6
American Standard Version
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine;
Nor for princes [a]to say, Where is strong drink?
5 Lest they drink, and forget [b]the law,
And pervert the justice due to [c]any that is afflicted.
6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish,
And wine unto the bitter in soul:
