Proverbs 23:29-33

Words of the Wise

29 q Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who r has redness of eyes?
30 s Those who linger long at the wine,
Those who go in search of t mixed wine.
31 Do not look on the wine when it is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it 1 swirls around smoothly;
32 At the last it bites like a serpent,
And stings like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
And your heart will utter perverse things.
