Proverbs 31:7 in Context — Proverbs 31

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.

9 Ouvre ta bouche, juge avec justice, Et défends le malheureux et l’indigent.
