Proverbs 23:29-35
Who has trouble? Who has sorrow? Who argues? Who has problems? Who has wounds for no reason? Who has red eyes?Those who spend too much time with wine. Or those who like to taste wine mixed with spices.Don’t look at wine when it is red. Don’t look at it when it bubbles in the cup. And don’t look at it when it goes down smoothly.In the end it bites like a snake. It bites like a poisonous serpent.Your eyes will see strange sights. Your mind will imagine weird things.You will feel like someone sleeping on the ocean. You will think you are lying among the ropes in a boat.“ They hit me,” you will say.“ But I’m not hurt! They beat me. But I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

If they are, take them alive.”The junior officers marched out of the city. The army was right behind them.Each man struck down the one fighting against him.
