Proverbs 23:29-35

The Bible in Basic English BBE

29 Who says, Oh! who says, Ah! who has violent arguments, who has grief, who has wounds without cause, whose eyes are dark?

30 Those who are seated late over the wine: those who go looking for mixed wine.

31 Keep your eyes from looking on the wine when it is red, when its colour is bright in the cup, when it goes smoothly down:

32 In the end, its bite is like that of a snake, its wound like the wound of a poison-snake.

33 Your eyes will see strange things, and you will say twisted things.

34 Yes, you will be like him who takes his rest on the sea, or on the top of a sail-support.

35 They have overcome me, you will say, and I have no pain; they gave me blows without my feeling them: when will I be awake from my wine? I will go after it again.

New International Version NIV

29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?

30 Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.

31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!

32 In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.

33 Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mind will imagine confusing things.

34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.

35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”
