5 Para não acontecer de que bebam, e se esqueçam da lei, e pervertam o direito de todos os aflitos.

6 Dai bebida alcoólica aos que estão a ponto de morrer, e vinho que têm amargura na alma,

7 Para que bebam, e se esqueçam de sua pobreza, e não se lembrem mais de sua miséria.

8 Abre tua boca no lugar do mudo pela causa judicial de todos os que estão morrendo.

9 Abre tua boca, julga corretamente, e faze justiça aos oprimidos e necessitados.
