Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
No sea que beban y se olviden de la ley de Dios, y tomen decisiones injustas que lastimen a los que sufren.
Beber puede hacer que los líderes olviden la justicia y perjudiquen a los necesitados.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical context, Proverbs 31:1-9 offers wisdom from a mother to her son, King Lemuel, as guidance for rulers in ancient Israel, emphasizing the dangers of alcohol for those in authority. This verse specifically warns that intoxication could lead kings to forget God's law and distort justice, particularly harming the poor and vulnerable, which reflects the cultural emphasis on righteous leadership in the wisdom literature of the Old Testament. Such advice was rooted in the societal realities of the ancient Near East, where leaders were expected to maintain clear judgment to uphold fairness and divine standards.
