6Give strong drink to one who is perishing,
and wine to the bitter in soul.
7Let him drink and forget his poverty,
and remember his misery no more.
8Open your mouth for those with no voice,
for the cause of all the dispossessed.
9Open your mouth, judge righteously,
and defend the cause of the poor and needy.
— Proverbs 31:6-9
