Proverbs 23:31-35

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its colour in the cup, when it glideth down smoothly; 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like a basilisk. 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange things, and thy heart shall utter confused things. 34 Yea, 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.'
