23:29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
23:30 Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek out mixed wine.
23:31 Don’t look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.
23:32 In the end, it bites like a snake, and poisons like a viper.
23:33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
23:34 Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging:
23:35 “They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don’t feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another.”
