Proverbs 23:31-35 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

31. Don’t stare at the wine’s pretty, red color.It may sparkle in the cup.It may go down your throat smoothly.

32. But later it bites like a snake.Like a snake, it poisons you.

33. Your eyes will see strange sights.And your mind will be confused.

34. You will feel dizzy, as if you’re out on the stormy ocean.You will feel as if you’re on top of a ship’s sails.

35. You will think, “They hit me, but I’m not hurt!They have beaten me up, but I don’t remember it.I wish I could wake up.Then I would get another drink.”
