Proverbs 31:6-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. Give strong drink to anyone who is perishing,and wine to the embittered;

7. When they drink, they will forget their misery,and think no more of their troubles.

8. Open your mouth in behalf of the mute,and for the rights of the destitute;

9. Open your mouth, judge justly,defend the needy and the poor!

10. Who can find a woman of worth?Far beyond jewels is her value.

11. Her husband trusts her judgment;he does not lack income.

12. She brings him profit, not loss,all the days of her life.
