The Importance of Watching(A)
34 “But (B)take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with [a]carousing, drunkenness, and (C)cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For (D)it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 (E)Watch therefore, and (F)pray always that you may [b]be counted (G)worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and (H)to stand before the Son of Man.”

57 “And I will make drunk
Her princes and (A)wise men,

Isaiah 5:11-14
New King James Version
11 (A)Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
That they may [a]follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
12 (B)The harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But (C)they do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.
13 (D)Therefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because they have no (E)knowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.

Esther 7:6-10
New King James Version
6 And Esther said, “The adversary and (A)enemy is this wicked Haman!”
So Haman was terrified before the king and queen.
7 Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king. 8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across (B)the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?”
As the word left the king’s mouth, they (C)covered Haman’s face. 9 Now (D)Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! (E)The [a]gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke (F)good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.”
Then the king said, “Hang him on it!”
10 So (G)they (H)hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.

36 Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, (A)holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light. 37 So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone. 38 Then it happened, after about ten days, that the Lord (B)struck Nabal, and he died.
