5:11 Those who get up early to drink beer are as good as dead, 1
those who keep drinking long after dark
until they are intoxicated with wine. 2
21:4 My heart palpitates, 3
I shake in fear; 4
the twilight I desired
has brought me terror.
59:10 We grope along the wall like the blind,
we grope like those who cannot see; 5
we stumble at noontime as if it were evening.
Though others are strong, we are like dead men. 6
