Proverbs 31:4-6
World English Bible

4 It is not for kings, Lemuel,
    it is not for kings to drink wine,
    nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
5 lest they drink, and forget the law,
    and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish,
    and wine to the bitter in soul.
