Proverbs 23:29-34

English Standard Version

^29 (A)Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
    Who has strife? Who has complaining?
Who has ^(B)wounds without cause?
    Who has ^(C)redness of eyes?
³⁰ Those who ^(D)tarry long over wine;
    those who go to try ^(E)mixed wine.
³¹ Do not look at wine when it is red,
    when it sparkles in the cup
    and goes down smoothly.
³² In the end it ^(F)bites like a serpent
    and stings like an adder.
³³ Your eyes will see strange things,
    and your heart utter ^(G)perverse things.
³⁴ You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea,
    like one who lies on the top of a mast.^[a]
