Proverbs 31:4-6
International Children’s Bible

4 “Kings should not drink wine, Lemuel.
    Rulers should not desire beer.
5 If they drink, they might forget the law.
    They might keep the needy from getting their rights.
6 Give beer to people who are dying.
    And give wine to those who are sad.
