Proverbs 31:5-7
Amplified Bible

5 
Otherwise they drink and forget the law and its decrees,
And pervert the rights and justice of all the afflicted.
6 
Give strong drink [as medicine] to him who is ready to pass away,
And wine to him whose life is bitter.
7 
Let him drink and forget his poverty
And no longer remember his trouble.
