Proverbs 23:29-35

29Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Whose eyes are red and dim?

30Those who linger long over wine, Those who go to taste mixed wine.

31Do not look at wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the glass, When it goes down smoothly.

32At the last it bites like a serpent And stings like a viper.

33Your [drunken] eyes will see strange things And your mind will utter perverse things [untrue things, twisted things].

34And you will be [as unsteady] as one who lies down in the middle of the sea, And [as vulnerable to disaster] as one who lies down on the top of a ship’s mast, saying,

35“They struck me, but I was not hurt! They beat me, but I did not feel it! When will I wake up? I will seek more wine.”
