Saying 19

²⁹Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
    Who has strife? Who has complaints?
    Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
³⁰Those who linger over wine,
    who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
³¹Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
    when it sparkles in the cup,
    when it goes down smoothly!
³²In the end it bites like a snake
    and poisons like a viper.
³³Your eyes will see strange sights,
    and your mind will imagine confusing things.
³⁴You 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?”

⁴It is not for kings, Lemuel—

    not for rulers to crave beer,
⁵lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
    and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
⁶Let beer be for those who are perishing,
    wine for those who are in anguish!
⁷Let them drink and forget their poverty
    and remember their misery no more.
