28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 So if your eye—even your good eye[a]—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away.

2 Late one afternoon, after his midday rest, David got out of bed and was walking on the roof of the palace. As he looked out over the city, he noticed a woman of unusual beauty taking a bath. 3 He sent someone to find out who she was, and he was told, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 4 Then David sent messengers to get her; and when she came to the palace, he slept with her. She had just completed the purification rites after having her menstrual period. Then she returned home.

31 Don’t gaze at the wine, seeing how red it is,
how it sparkles in the cup, how smoothly it goes down.

it stings like a viper.
33 You will see hallucinations,
and you will say crazy things.

33 Your eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine confusing things.
