Sirach 31:27-29
Common English Bible
27 If taken in moderation,
wine makes people’s lives better.
What’s life to those who
don’t have wine?
It was created from the beginning
to bring merriment.
28 The right amount of wine
consumed at the right time
makes for a joyful heart
and a light spirit.
29 Too much wine drunk
in the midst of strife and conflict
makes for a bitter spirit.
