Proverbs 23:29-35

^{Tools
29}

Who has ^(A)woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions? Who has complaining?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?

^{Tools
30}

Those who ^(B)linger long over wine,
Those who go to ^(a)taste ^(C)mixed wine.

^{Tools
31}

Do not look on the wine when it is red,
When it ^(b)sparkles in the cup,
When it ^(D)goes down smoothly;

^{Tools
32}

At the last it ^(E)bites like a serpent
And stings like a ^(F)viper.

^{Tools
33}

Your eyes will see strange things
And your ^(c)mind will ^(G)utter perverse things.

^{Tools
34}

And you will be like one who lies down in the ^(d)middle of the sea,
Or like one who lies down on the top of a ^(e)mast.

^{Tools
35}

“They ^(H)struck me, but I did not become ^(f)ill;
They beat me, but I did not know it.
When shall I awake?
I will ^(I)seek ^(g)another drink.”
