¹² “Come,” each one cries, “let me get wine!^(A)
    Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
    or even far better.”^(B)

¹⁹ Listen, my son,^(A) and be wise,
    and set your heart on the right path:
²⁰ Do not join those who drink too much wine^(B)
    or gorge themselves on meat,

28 Woe^(A) to that wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s^(B) drunkards,
    to the fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley^(C)—
    to that city, the pride of those laid low by wine!^(D)
2 See, the Lord has one who is powerful^(E) and strong.
    Like a hailstorm^(F) and a destructive wind,^(G)
like a driving rain and a flooding^(H) downpour,
    he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
³ That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s^(I) drunkards,
    will be trampled^(J) underfoot.
