27. For a prostitute is a deep pit, and a stranger is a narrow well;
28. indeed, she sets an ambush like a robber and increases those among men who are unfaithful.
29. Who has woe? Who has sorrow?Who has conflicts? Who has complaints?Who has wounds for no reason? Who has red eyes?
30. Those who linger over wine,those who go looking for mixed wine.
31. Don’t gaze at wine because it is red, when it gleams in the cupand goes down smoothly.
32. In the end it bites like a snakeand stings like a viper.
33. Your eyes will see strange things,and you will say absurd things.
34. You’ll be like someone sleeping out at seaor lying down on the top of a ship’s mast.
35. “They struck me, but I feel no pain!They beat me, but I didn’t know it! When will I wake up?I’ll look for another drink.”
