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.

10 Qui peut trouver une femme vertueuse? Elle a bien plus de valeur que les perles.
