Context of Proverbs 23:30
28She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men. 29Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 31Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
