Bible verses about "drunkenness" | Leeser

²⁹ Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath quarrels? who hath complaints? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? ³⁰ They that tarry late over the wine: they that come to seek for mixed drink. ³¹ Do not look on the wine when it looketh red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it glideth down so readily. ³² At the last it will bite like a serpent, and like a basilisk will it sting. ³³ Thy eyes will see strange forms, and thy heart will speak perverse things. ³⁴ And thou wilt be like one that lieth down in the heart of the sea, or as he that lieth on the top of a mast. ³⁵ “They smote me, but I suffered no pain; they struck me hard, but I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will continue to seek it again.”

²⁰ Be not among those that drink wine immoderately, among those that over-indulge in eating flesh:

⁷ But these also are now stumbling through wine, and reeling through strong drink: priest and prophet are stumbling through strong drink, they are overpowered with wine, they reel through strong drink; they stumble in divine vision, they are unsteady in giving judgment.

¹¹ Woe unto those that rise up early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink; that continue until late in the twilight, till wine inflame them!

¹ Wine is a mocker, strong drink is noisy; and whosoever indulgeth therein will never be wise.
