In context
3 Do not give, to women, thy strength, nor thy ways, to them who ruin kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor, for dignitaries, to desire strong drink,
5 Lest he drink, and forget that which is decreed, and alter the plea of any who are sorely oppressed.
6 Give strong drink, to him that is perishing, and wine, to such as are embittered in soul:
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and, his wearying toil, let him remember no more.
8 Open thy mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all the children of the departed.
9 Open thy mouth—judge righteously,—and administer justice for the poor and the needy.
