Contextual Overview

1 THE wordes of king Lamuel, and the lesson that his mother taught him. 2 What my sonne? what the sonne of my body? and what O my deare beloued sonne? 3 Geue not ouer thy strength & wayes vnto women, which are the destruction euen of kynges. 4 O Lamuel, it is not for kynges, it is not [I say] for kynges to drynke wine, nor princes strong drynke. 5 Lest they by drnkyng forget the lawe, and peruert the iudgement of all poore mens children. 6 Geue strong drynke vnto such as are redy to perishe, and wine vnto those that mourne: 7 That they may drynke it, and forget their miserie and aduersitie. 8 Be thou an aduocate for the dumbe, [to speake] in the cause of all such as be succourlesse in this transitorie worlde. 9 Open thy mouth, defende the thyng that is lawfull and ryght, and the cause of the poore and helpelesse.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Open thy mouth, judge righteously,.... Having heard the cause, pronounce a righteous sentence; deliver it freely and impartially, with all readiness and boldness, not caring for the censures of wicked and unjust men;

and plead the cause of the poor and needy; who are oppressed by the rich, cannot plead for themselves, nor fee others to plead for them; do thou do it freely and faithfully. Thus as Lemuel's mother cautions him against women and wine, she advises him to do the duties of his office in administering impartial justice to all, and particularly in being the advocate and judge of the indigent and distressed.
