Liquor is for the dying, and wine for those in deep depression.
7
Let them drink to forget their poverty and remember their troubles no more.

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those who are perishing.

Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.
10
Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies.

Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.

She will not hinder him but help him all her life.
13
She finds wool and flax and busily spins it.
14
She is like a merchant's ship; she brings her food from afar.

She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day's work for her servant girls.

She goes out to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
