Proverbs 23:29-35
29
To whome is woe? to whome is sorowe? to whom is strife? to whom is murmuring? to whom are woundes without cause? and to whome is the rednesse of the eyes?
30
Euen to them that tarie long at the wine, to them that goe, and seeke mixt wine.
31
Looke not thou vpon the wine, when it is red, and when it sheweth his colour in the cup, or goeth downe pleasantly.
32
In the ende thereof it will bite like a serpent, and hurt like a cockatrise.
33
Thine eyes shall looke vpon strange women, and thine heart shall speake lewde things.
34
And thou shalt bee as one that sleepeth in the middes of the sea, and as hee that sleepeth in the toppe of the maste.
35
They haue stricken mee, shalt thou say, but I was not sicke: they haue beaten mee, but I knew not, when I awoke: therefore will I seeke it yet still.
