Proverbs 23:29-33

29 ^eWho has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has strife? Who has complaining?
Who has ^fwounds without cause?
Who has ^gredness of eyes?
30 Those who ^htarry long over wine;
those who go to try ⁱmixed wine.
31 Do not look at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup
and goes down smoothly.
32 In the end it ^jbites like a serpent
and stings like an adder.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
and your heart utter ^kperverse things.

and ^opervert the rights of all the afflicted.

tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts,
^rbut they do not regard the deeds of the Lord,
or see the work of his hands.
