Alcohol And The Rights Of The Oppressed – Proverbs 31:4-5

Alcohol And The Rights Of The Oppressed
Proverbs 31:4-5

4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,
not for rulers to crave beer,

5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.

New International Version (NIV)

PCDC Commentary

Leaders should not drink alcohol
to insure that they enforce
the rights of the oppressed.
