Proverbs 23:28-35 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

28. Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the treacherous among men.

29. Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath complaining? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

30. They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek out mixed wine.

31. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its colour in the cup, when it goeth down smoothly.

32. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

33. Thine eyes shall behold strange things, and thine heart shall utter froward things.

34. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

35. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not hurt; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
