Proverbs 23:31-35
New American Standard Bible
31 Do not look at wine when it is red,
When it [a]sparkles in the cup,
When it (A)goes down smoothly;
32 In the end it (B)bites like a snake
And stings like a (C)viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things
And your [b]mind will (D)say perverse things.
34 And you will be like one who lies down in the [c]middle of the sea,
Or like one who lies down on the top of a [d]mast.
35 “They (E)struck me, but I did not become [e]ill;
They beat me, but I did not know it.
When will I awake?
I will (F)seek [f]another drink.”

Proverbs 23:31-35
New International Version
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?”(A)
