Proverbs 23:20-21

20 Be not a wine-bibber, neither continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh:

21 for every drunkard and whoremonger shall be poor; and every sluggard shall clothe himself with tatters and ragged garments.

Proverbs 23:29-35

29 Who woe? who trouble? who quarrels? and who vexations and disputes? who bruises without a cause? whose eyes are livid?

30 Are not those of them that stay long at wine? not of them that haunt where banquets are? Be not drunk with wine; but converse with just men, and converse openly.

31 For if thou shouldest set thine eyes on bowls and cups, thou shalt afterwards go more naked than a pestle.

32 But at last stretches himself out as one smitten by a serpent, and venom is diffused through him as by a horned serpent.

33 Whenever thine eyes shall behold a strange woman, then thy mouth shall speak perverse things.

34 And thou shalt lie as in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot in a great storm.

35 And thou shalt say, They smote me, and I was not pained; and they mocked me, and I knew it not: when will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in company?
