He transgresseth

Wine is a mocker, beer is a brawler,
and whoever staggers because of them is not wise.

Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has conflicts? Who has complaints?
Who has wounds for no reason?
Who has red eyes?

It is not for kings, Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine
or for rulers to desire beer.

Woe to those who rise early in the morning
in pursuit of beer,
who linger into the evening,
inflamed by wine.

Prepare a table, and spread out a carpet!
Eat and drink!
Rise up, you princes, and oil the shields!

While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast,
and I will make them drunk so that they revel.

Then they will fall asleep forever
and never wake up.
