Proverbs 23:27-35

²⁷For a harlot is a deep ditch; and an alien woman is a narrow pit.

²⁸She also lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the faithless among men.

²⁹Who crieth: 'Woe'? who: 'Alas'? who hath contentions? who hath raving? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

³⁰They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to try mixed wine.

³¹Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its colour in the cup, when it glideth down smoothly;

³²At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like a basilisk.

³³Thine eyes shall behold strange things, and thy heart shall utter confused things.

³⁴Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

³⁵'They have struck me, and I felt it not, they have beaten me, and I knew it not; when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.'
