Proverbs 31:5
Berean Standard Bible
lest they drink and forget what is decreed, depriving all the oppressed of justice.
Context
3Do not spend your strength on women
or your vigor on those who ruin kings. 4It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine,
or for rulers to crave strong drink, 5lest they drink and forget what is decreed,
depriving all the oppressed of justice. 6Give strong drink to one who is perishing,
and wine to the bitter in soul. 7Let him drink and forget his poverty,
and remember his misery no more.
