28Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber, And increaseth the treacherous among men.

29Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? Who hath complaining? who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?

30They that tarry long at the wine; They that go to seek out mixed wine.

31Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it sparkleth in the cup, When it goeth down smoothly:

32At the last it biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder.

33Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thy heart shall utter perverse things.

34Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
