Proverbs 23:31-35 ▼

31 Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup. It goes down smoothly,

32 but in the end it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.

33 Your eyes behold strange sights, and your heart utters incoherent things;

34 You are like one sleeping on the high seas, sprawled at the top of the mast.

35 “They struck me, but it did not pain me; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When can I get up, when can I go out and get more?”
