Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart,

Wine is a scorner -- strong drink is noisy, And any going astray in it is not wise.

And even these through wine have erred, And through strong drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.

'And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you,

And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.

He who committeth adultery with a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.

For a harlot is a deep ditch, And a strange woman is a strait pit.

Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth the heart.

My people at its staff asketh and its rod declareth to it, For a spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go a-whoring from under their God.

And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already is to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer is our salvation than when we did believe;
