Proverbs 31:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible

4 Listen, Lemuel. Kings should not drink lots of wine. They should not want strong drink. 5 When kings drink alcohol, they forget to obey the law. They take away justice for helpless people.

6 Give strong drink to people who are dying. Give wine to people who are very upset.

4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
    it is not for kings to drink wine,(A)
    not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink(B) and forget what has been decreed,(C)
    and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
    wine(D) for those who are in anguish!
