But see Lemuel's wisdom,
Proverbs 31B.
Personally, I find applicable to me verses 6 to 9,
as what the king should do for me, a qualified beneficiary:
6 Give beer to those who are perishing,
wine to those who are in anguish;
7 let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
8 "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Strangely, none of the wisdom of vs. 6-7 is in the present
Economic Recovery Act of the Obama and the Democrats,
yet, if they included it, all the people would say "Amen!"
