Proverbs 31:6 in Context — Proverbs 31

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.

8 Abre tu boca por el mudo, en el juicio de todos los hijos de muerte.
