Proverbs 23:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 Hear, my child, and be wise,
and direct your mind in the way.
20 Do not be among winebibbers
or among gluttonous eaters of meat,(A)
21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
and drowsiness will clothe them with rags.(B)
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.”

29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has strife? Who has complaining?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?(A)
30 Those who linger late over wine,
those who keep trying mixed wines.(B)
31 Do not look at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup
and goes down smoothly.
32 At the last it bites like a serpent
and stings like an adder.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
and your mind utter perverse things.(C)
34 You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea,
like one who lies on the top of a mast.[a]
35 “They struck me,” you will say,[b] “but I was not hurt;
they beat me, but I did not feel it.
When shall I awake?
I will seek another drink.”(D)
