Proverbs 31:7

31:7 let them ¹  drink and forget ²  their poverty,

and remember their misery no more.

[31:7]  ¹ tn The subjects and suffixes are singular (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB). Most other English versions render this as plural for stylistic reasons, in light of the preceding context.

[31:7]  ² tn The king was not to “drink and forget”; the suffering are to “drink and forget.”
