Proverbes 23:32 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 23:32

At the last it biteth like a serpent
Though it goes down sweetly, yet it leaves a sting behind it, intemperately drank; a nausea in the stomach, a stink in the breath, pains and giddiness in the head, weakness in the eyes, trembling in the members of the body, palsy, gout, and other distempers, very painful and grievous to be bore; and, what is worse, if the conscience is awakened, sharp and cutting reflections there; and, without true repentance, torments intolerable in the world to come; and stingeth like an adder;
or "spreads" F21, or separates and scatters; that is, its poison. So the Vulgate Latin version, "diffuseth poisons as a basilisk", or "cockatrice"; the Targum and Syriac version,

``as a serpent which flies;''
it signifies the same as before.

Proverbes 23:32 In-Context

30 Pour ceux qui s'attardent auprès du vin, Pour ceux qui vont déguster du vin mêlé.
31 Ne regarde pas le vin qui paraît d'un beau rouge, Qui fait des perles dans la coupe, Et qui coule aisément.
32 Il finit par mordre comme un serpent, Et par piquer comme un basilic.
33 Tes yeux se porteront sur des étrangères, Et ton coeur parlera d'une manière perverse.
34 Tu seras comme un homme couché au milieu de la mer, Comme un homme couché sur le sommet d'un mât:
