Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing, and wine to those who are bitter of heart.
What’s the point of giving wine to the perishing and those who are bitter of heart? Didn’t the verses right before this warn us that wine could easily lead to perverting justice? I think that it means to give wine to those who have no other hope, to those who need the pain numbed, not so much condoning it as stating that if anybody should be given wine to that these are the ones that would need it the most.
Application-As Pastor G said yesterday, I will strive for the law in my own life and strive for grace and mercy for others.
