Proverbs 31:7

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Let them drink and forget how poor and miserable they feel.

See the chapter Copy

Your troubles will go away like water beneath a bridge,

wine to cheer us up, olive oil for our skin, and grain for our health.

Beer and wine are only for the dying or for those who have lost all hope.

But you must defend those who are helpless and have no hope.

Don't destroy yourself by getting drunk, but let the Spirit fill your life.
