Proverbs 23:29-35 Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?… 1. His sensual indulgence. 2. His offensive garrulousness. 3. His bloodshot face. The habits of the man come to be marked by their effects upon his looks. 4. His wretched condition. 5. His easy temptability. He is ripe for the crimes of adultery, falsehood, blasphemy, and other enormities. 6. His reckless stupidity. 7. His unconquerable thirst. However bitter his reflections upon his awaking, and his remorse, his thirst remains unquenched. (D. Thomas, D.D.)
