Proverbs 23:31-35

Tree of Life Version

³¹ Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it glides down smoothly.
³² In the end it bites like a serpent
and stings like a viper.
³³ Your eyes will see strange things.
Your heart will utter perverse things.
³⁴ Then you will be like one lying down in the heart of the sea,
or sprawled on the top of a mast.
³⁵ “They hit me! But I was not hurt.
They beat me up! But I did not feel it.
When will I wake up?
I will look for another drink.”
