Proverbs 23:31-35 (New Revised Standard)
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.
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."
