Pro 23:32 | MHM | STEP | v. 32 : At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Although drinking may feel pleasant at first, it ends in pain—like a snake bite. This can mean sickness, ruined health, financial loss, regret, or even spiritual ruin if not repented of. Sinful pleasure always ends in bitterness, so it is wise to think about the consequences, not just the temporary enjoyment.
