જેઓ મરવાની અણી પર હોય તેને દ્રાક્ષાસવ અને જેઓ દુભાયેલા હોય તેને દ્રાક્ષારસ આપ.

मदिरा उसको पिलाओ जो मरने पर है, और दाखमधु उदास मनवालों को ही देना;

In context

4It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’

5lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.

6Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.

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

8Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
