Psalms 1:1

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man ^{▼▼The singular Hebrew word for man (ish) is used here to portray a representative example of a godly person; see Preface}
who ^bwalks not in ^cthe counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in ^dthe way of sinners,
nor ^esits in ^fthe seat of ^gscoffers;

Psalms 69:12

12 I am the talk of those who ^hsit in the gate,
and the drunkards make ⁱsongs about me.

Proverbs 13:20

20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

Proverbs 23:29-35

29 ^jWho has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has strife? Who has complaining?
Who has ^kwounds without cause?
Who has ^lredness of eyes?
30 Those who ^mtarry long over wine;
those who go to try ⁿmixed 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 ^obites like a serpent
and stings like an adder.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
and your heart utter ^pperverse things.
34 You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea,
like one who lies on the top of a mast. ^{▼▼Or of the rigging}
35 “They ^rstruck me,” you will say, ^{▼▼Hebrew lacks you will say} “but I was not hurt;
they beat me, but I did not feel it.
When shall I awake?
I ^tmust have another drink.”

Daniel 5:4

4 They drank wine and ^upraised the ^vgods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

Daniel 5:23

23 but you have lifted up yourself against ^wthe Lord of heaven. And ^xthe vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. ^yAnd you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, ^zbut the God in whose hand is your breath, and ^aawhose are all your ways, ^abyou have not honored.
