Proverbs 21:17

17 The one who loves pleasure will become poor;
whoever loves wine and oil will not get rich.(A)
Proverbs 23:20-21
Christian Standard Bible
20 Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine(A)
or with those who gorge themselves on meat.(B)
21 For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor,
and grogginess will clothe them in rags.(C)
Proverbs 23:29-35
Christian Standard Bible
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has conflicts? Who has complaints?
Who has wounds for no reason?(A)
Who has red eyes?
30 Those who linger over wine;
those who go looking for mixed wine.(B)
31 Don’t gaze at wine because it is red,(C)
because it gleams in the cup
and goes down smoothly.(D)
32 In the end it bites like a snake
and stings like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
and you will say absurd things.[a](E)
34 You’ll be like someone sleeping out at sea
or lying down on the top of a ship’s mast.
35 “They struck me, but[b] I feel no pain!
They beat me, but I didn’t know it!(F)
When will I wake up?
I’ll look for another drink.”(G)
Proverbs 31:4-7
Christian Standard Bible
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel,
it is not for kings(A) to drink wine(B)
or for rulers to desire beer.
5 Otherwise, he will drink,
forget what is decreed,(C)
and pervert justice for all the oppressed.[a](D)
6 Give beer to one who is dying
and wine to one whose life is bitter.(E)
7 Let him drink so that he can forget his poverty
and remember his trouble no more.(F)
