Proverbs 31:8 - John Wesley's Notes

Proverbs 31:8

Compare all

6 ^aGive strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart.

7 Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his misery no more.

8 ^aOpen your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are¹ appointed to die.

9 Open your mouth, ^ajudge righteously,
And ^bplead the cause of the poor and needy.

The Virtuous Wife

10 ^aWho¹ can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
