It is not for kings, Lemuel; it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’

Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:
7 Amaiba: le, ilia nawene, hame gagui hou amola da: i dioi hou gogolema: ne manu da defea.
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
