20 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging:
    and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

¹⁷ He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man:
    he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

²⁹ Who hath woe? who hath sorrow?
who hath contentions? who hath babbling?
who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
³⁰ they that tarry long at the wine;
they that go to seek mixed wine.
³¹ Look not thou upon the wine when it is red,
when it giveth his colour in the cup,
when it moveth itself aright.
³² At the last it biteth like a serpent,
and stingeth like an adder.
³³ Thine eyes shall behold strange women,
and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
³⁴ Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea,
or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
³⁵ They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick;
they have beaten me, and I felt it not:
when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
