Proverbs 23 — Context

30

Is it not those who linger over wine, and who strive to be drinking from their cups?

31

Do not gaze into the wine when it turns gold, when its color shines in the glass. It enters pleasantly,

32

but in the end, it will bite like a snake, and it will spread poison like a king of snakes.

33

Your eyes will see women who are outsiders, and your heart will utter perversities.

34

And you will be like someone sleeping in the middle of the sea, and like a pilot, fast asleep, who has lost his hold on the helm.

35

And you will say: “They have beaten me, but I did not feel pain. They have dragged me, and I did not realize it. When will I awaken and find more wine?”
