Context of Proverbs 23:30
28She also lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the treacherous among men. 29Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who contentions? Who complaining? Who wounds without cause? Who redness of eyes? — They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to try mixed wine. 31Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it sparkleth in the cup, and goeth down smoothly: 32at the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
