Proverbs 23:19-21
King James Version
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Proverbs 23:29-35
Legacy Standard Bible
29 Who has (A)woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions? Who has complaining?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?
30 Those who (B)linger long over wine,
Those who go to search out (C)mixed wine.
31 Do not look on the wine when it glistens red,
When it [a]sparkles in the cup,
When it (D)goes down smoothly;
32 At the end—like a serpent it (E)bites,
And like a (F)viper it stings.
33 Your eyes will see strange things
And your heart will (G)speak perverse things.
34 And you will be like one who lies down in the heart of the sea,
Or like one who lies down on the top of a [b]mast.
35 “They (H)struck me, but I did not become [c]ill;
They beat me, but I did not know it.
When shall I awake?
I will (I)seek yet another.”

Proverbs 23:29-35
King James Version
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.
