6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,

wine for those who are in anguish!

6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish,

And wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

6 Alcohol is for the dying,

and wine for those in bitter distress.

6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,

And wine to those who are bitter of heart.

6 Give beer to people who are dying

and wine to those who are sad.

6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish,

And wine unto the bitter in soul:

6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter of soul:

6 Give liquor to a person who is dying 

and wine to one who feels resentful. 

6 Give beer to one who is dying

and wine to one whose life is bitter.

6 Give strong drink to one who is perishing,

and wine to those in bitter distress;

6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,

and wine to those in bitter distress.

6 Give beer to those who are dying.

Give wine to those who are sad and troubled.

6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,

And wine to him whose life is bitter.
