Otherwise they drink and forget the law and its decrees,
And pervert the rights and justice of all the afflicted.

“Moreover, wine is treacherous and betrays the arrogant man,
So that he does not stay at home.

And he is like death, never satisfied.
He gathers to himself all nations
And collects to himself all peoples [as if he owned them].
