Proverbs 20:1

« Prov 19 | Prov 20 | Prov 21 »

Hope in Yahweh and He Will Save You

Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler,

And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.

« Prov 19 | Prov 20 | Prov 21 »

Proverbs 21:17

« Prov 20 | Prov 21 | Prov 22 »

He who loves pleasure will become a poor man;

He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.

« Prov 20 | Prov 21 | Prov 22 »

Proverbs 23:20 - 23:21

« Prov 22 | Prov 23 | Prov 24 »

Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine,

Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;

For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,

And drowsiness will clothe them with rags.

« Prov 22 | Prov 23 | Prov 24 »

Proverbs 23:29 - 23:35

« Prov 22 | Prov 23 | Prov 24 »

Who has woe? Who has sorrow?

Who has contentions? Who has complaining?

Who has wounds without cause?

Who has redness of eyes?

Those who linger long over wine,

Those who go to search out mixed wine.

Do not look on the wine when it glistens red,

When it sparkles in the cup,

When it goes down smoothly;

At the end—like a serpent it bites,

And like a viper it stings.

Your eyes will see strange things

And your heart will speak perverse things.

And you will be like one who lies down in the heart of the sea,

Or like one who lies down on the top of a mast.

“They struck me, but I did not become ill;

They beat me, but I did not know it.

When shall I awake?

I will seek yet another.”

« Prov 22 | Prov 23 | Prov 24 »

Proverbs 31:4 - 31:7

« Prov 30 | Prov 31 | Eccles 1 »

It is not for kings, O Lemuel,

It is not for kings to drink wine,

Or for rulers to desire strong drink,

Lest he drink and forget what is decreed,

And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.

Give strong drink to him who is perishing,

And wine to those whose soul is bitter.

Let him drink and forget his poverty

And he will not remember his trouble any longer.

« Prov 30 | Prov 31 | Eccles 1 »
