Proverbs 31:7

A Conservative Version

Let him drink, and forget his need, and remember his misery no more.

See the chapter Copy

And do not become intoxicated with wine, during which is debauchery, but be filled in Spirit,

Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.

Open thy mouth for the mute, in the cause of all such as are left desolate.

For thou shall forget thy misery. Thou shall remember it as waters that are passed away.

and wine that makes glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
