16:7 The prophet Jehu son of Hanani received from the
Lord the message predicting the downfall of Baasha and his family because of all the evil Baasha had done in the sight of the

Who has contentions? Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause? Who has dullness of the eyes?
23:30 Those who linger over wine,
those who go looking for mixed wine.
23:31 Do not look on the wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly.
23:32 Afterward it bites like a snake,
and stings like a viper.
