Proverbs 31:5 in Context — Proverbs 31
3 No des á las mujeres tu fuerza, ni tus caminos á lo que es para destruir los reyes.
4 No es de los reyes, oh Lemuel, no es de los reyes beber vino, ni de los príncipes la cerveza.
5 No sea que bebiendo olviden la ley, y perviertan el derecho de todos los hijos afligidos.
6 Dad la cerveza al desfallecido, y el vino á los de amargo ánimo:
7 Beban, y olvídense de su necesidad, y de su miseria no más se acuerden.
