Proverbs 31:2-9

2WhatH4100, my sonH1248? and whatH4100, O sonH1248 of my wombH990, and whatH4100, O sonH1248 of my vowsH5088?

3GiveH5414 notH408 thy strengthH2428 unto womenH802, norH408 thy waysH1870 to that whichH802 destroyeth kingsH4428.

4It is notH408 for kingsH4428, O LemuelH3927, it is notH408 for kingsH4428 to drinkH8354 wineH3196; norH408 for princes to sayH176, Where is strongH7941 drinkH8354?

5LestH6435 they drinkH8354, and forgetH7911 the law, and pervert the judgmentH1779 of anyH3605 that is afflictedH1121.

6GiveH5414 strongH7941 drinkH7941 unto him that is ready to perishH6, and wineH3196 unto the bitterH4751 in soulH5315:

7LetH3808 him drinkH8354, and forgetH7911 his povertyH7389, and rememberH2142 his miseryH5999 noH3808 moreH5750.

8OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310 for the dumb, in the causeH1779 of allH3605 suchH3605 as are left desolate.

9OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310, judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664, and minister judgmentH8199 to the poorH6041 and needyH34.
