⁴It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine,
or for rulers to desire strong drink;
⁵or else they will drink and forget what has been decreed,
and will pervert the rights of all the afflicted.
⁶Give strong drink to one who is perishing,
and wine to those in bitter distress;
⁷let them drink and forget their poverty,
and remember their misery no more.
