Proverbs 23:30-34 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

30. Surely they that pass their time in wine, and study to drink of their cups.

31. Look not upon the wine when it is yellow, when the colour thereof shineth in the glass: it goeth in pleasantly,

32. But in the end, it will bite like a snake, and will spread abroad poison like a basilisk.

33. Thy eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall utter perverse things.

34. And thou shalt be as one sleeping in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot fast asleep, when the stern is lost.
