He transgresseth

Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler,

And whoever is intoxicated by it is not wise.

Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions? Who has complaining?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?

It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Or for rulers to desire strong drink,

Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink,
Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!

They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink;
“Rise up, captains, oil the shields,”

“When they become heated up, I will serve them their banquet
And make them drunk, that they may become jubilant
And may sleep a perpetual sleep
And not wake up,” declares the Lord.

Belshazzar the king held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine in the presence of the thousand.

Whatever you devise against the Lord,
He will make a complete end of it.
Distress will not rise up twice.

A proud man

“Behold, as for the proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the righteous will live by his faith.

For though the Lord is exalted,
Yet He regards the lowly,
But the haughty He knows from afar.

There is a kind—oh how lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

The

proud look of man will be abased

And the loftiness of man will be humbled,
And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride;

Even of his arrogance, pride, and fury;

His idle boasts are false.

“Summon many against Babylon,
All those who bend the bow:
Encamp against her on every side,
Let there be no escape.
Repay her according to her work;

According to all that she has done, so do to her;

For she has become arrogant against the Lord,
Against the Holy One of Israel.

But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became so

proud that he behaved arrogantly, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him.

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Who

Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field,
Until there is no more room,
So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!

Yet it does not so intend,
Nor does it plan so in its heart,
But rather it is its purpose to destroy
And to cut off many nations.

As hell

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,

Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.

The leech has two daughters,
“Give,” “Give.”
There are three things that will not be satisfied,
Four that will not say, “Enough”:

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.

Gathereth

“Because you have looted many nations,
All the remainder of the peoples will loot you—
Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.

“Those who see you will gaze at you,
They will ponder over you, saying,
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,

General references

Sheol, and the barren womb,

Earth that is never satisfied with water,
And fire that never says, “Enough.”

It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Or for rulers to desire strong drink,
