Proverbs 31:5-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. Lest in drinking they forget what has been decreed,and violate the rights of any who are in need.

6. Give strong drink to anyone who is perishing,and wine to the embittered;

7. When they drink, they will forget their misery,and think no more of their troubles.

8. Open your mouth in behalf of the mute,and for the rights of the destitute;

9. Open your mouth, judge justly,defend the needy and the poor!

10. Who can find a woman of worth?Far beyond jewels is her value.
