Proverbs 23:29-35

The Catalogue of Drunken Misery

Proverbs 23:29-35
29
Who has misery? Who has regret? Who fights and complains all the time? Who gets bruised for no good reason? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30
Those who spend their time over wine, those always trying out mixed drinks.
31
Don't gaze at the red wine as it gives its color to the cup. It may glide down smoothly now;
32
but in the end, it bites like a serpent -yes, it strikes like a poisonous snake.
33
Your eyes will see peculiar things, your mind will utter nonsense.
34
You will feel as if lying on the waves of the sea or sprawled on top of the mast -
35
"They hit me, but I didn't feel it! They beat me up, and I didn't even know it! When will I wake up? . . . I'll go get another drink."
