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.

10 Mulher virtuosa, quem a encontrará? Pois seu valor é muito maior que o de rubis.
