20 Do not be with (A)heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with (B)gluttonous eaters of meat;

And (D)drowsiness will clothe them 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
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
Legacy Standard Bible
4 It is not for (A)kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to (B)drink wine,
Or for rulers to desire strong drink,
5 Lest he drink and forget what is decreed,
And (C)pervert the justice of all the [a]afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is (D)perishing,
And wine to those (E)whose soul is bitter.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty
And he will not remember his trouble any longer.
