Proverbs 23:28-30
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber,(A)
and increases the number of the faithless.
29 [a]Who scream? Who shout?
Who have strife? Who have anxiety?
Who have wounds for nothing?
Who have bleary eyes?
30 Whoever linger long over wine,
whoever go around quaffing wine.(B)
