13:28 Absalom instructed his servants, “Look! When Amnon is drunk
23:29 Who has woe?
Who has contentions? Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause? Who has dullness
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
when it goes down smoothly.
23:32 Afterward
and stings like a viper.
23:33 Your eyes will see strange things,
and your mind will speak perverse things.
23:34 And you will be like one who lies down in the midst
and like one who lies down on the top of the rigging.
23:35 You will say,
They beat me, but I did not know it!
When will I awake? I will look for another drink.”
5:11 Those who get up early to drink beer are as good as dead,
those who keep drinking long after dark
until they are intoxicated with wine.
28:7 Even these men
they stumble around because of beer –
priests and prophets stagger because of beer,
they are confused
they stumble around because of beer;
they stagger while seeing prophetic visions,
they totter while making legal decisions.
