Contextual Overview

¹ These are the words of King Lemuel, the message his mother taught him: ² "My son, I gave birth to you. You are the son I prayed for. ³ Don't waste your strength on women or your time on those who ruin kings. ⁴ "Kings should not drink wine, Lemuel, and rulers should not desire beer. ⁵ If they drink, they might forget the law and keep the needy from getting their rights. ⁶ Give beer to people who are dying and wine to those who are sad. ⁷ Let them drink and forget their need and remember their misery no more. ⁸ "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; defend the rights of all those who have nothing. ⁹ Speak up and judge fairly, and defend the rights of the poor and needy."

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.
