Proverbs 31:6 in Context — Proverbs 31
4 Ce n’est point aux rois, Lemuel, Ce n’est point aux rois de boire du vin, Ni aux princes de rechercher des liqueurs fortes,
5 De peur qu’en buvant ils n’oublient la loi, Et ne méconnaissent les droits de tous les malheureux.
6 Donnez des liqueurs fortes à celui qui périt, Et du vin à celui qui a l’amertume dans l’âme;
7 Qu’il boive et oublie sa pauvreté, Et qu’il ne se souvienne plus de ses peines.
8 Ouvre ta bouche pour le muet, Pour la cause de tous les délaissés.
