Let him drinkand forgethis povertyAnd rememberhis troublenomore.
"For you would forget[your] trouble,As watersthat have passedby, you would remember[it].
And winewhich makesman'sheartglad,So that he may make [his] faceglistenwith oil,And foodwhich sustainsman'sheart.
Givestrongdrinkto him who is perishing,And wineto him whose lifeis bitter.
Openyour mouthfor the mute,For the rightsof allthe unfortunate.
And do not get drunkwith wine,for that is dissipation,but be filledwith the Spirit,
