Proverbs 23:29-35

29Who has 1woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has red eyes?30Those who 2linger long over wine, Those who go to 3taste 4mixed wine.31Do not look at wine when it is red, When it 5sparkles in the cup, When it 6goes down smoothly;32In the end it 7bites like a snake And stings like a 8viper.33Your eyes will see strange things And your 9mind will 10say perverse things.34And you will be like one who lies down in the 11middle of the sea, Or like one who lies down on the top of a 12mast.35“They 13struck me, but I did not become 14ill; They beat me, but I did not know it. When will I awake? I will 15seek 16another drink.”
