Proverbs 31:5

31:5 lest they drink and forget what is decreed,

and remove ²  from all the poor ³  their legal rights. ⁴ 

[4:5]  ¹ tn Heb “from the words of my mouth” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV); TEV, CEV “what I say.”

[31:5]  ² tn The verb means “change,” perhaps expressed in reversing decisions or removing rights.

[31:5]  ³ tn Heb “all the children of poverty.” This expression refers to the poor by nature. Cf. KJV, NASB, NRSV “the afflicted”; NIV “oppressed.”

[31:5]  ⁴ sn The word is דִּין (din, “judgment”; so KJV). In this passage it refers to the cause or the plea for justice, i.e., the “legal rights.”
