Proverbs 23:29-35

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁹ Who has trouble? Who has misery?
Who has quarrels? Who has complaints?
Who has wounds for no reason? Who has glazed eyes?
³⁰ Those who linger over wine,
those who go to search for mixed wine.
³¹ Do not look at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly.
³² Later it bites like a snake,
and it strikes like a venomous viper.
³³ Your eyes will see strange things,
and your mind will say senseless things.
³⁴ You will be like someone who tries to sleep in the middle of the sea,
like someone who tries to sleep at the top of a ship’s mast.
³⁵ “They struck me, but I felt no pain.
They beat me, but I was not aware of it.
When will I wake up, so that I can try it again?”
