Proverbs 23…”The Recovery Proverb”

Proverbs 23:29-35 (NLT)

29-Who has anguish?  Who has sorrow?

       Who is always fighting?  who is always complaining?

       Who has unnecesarry bruises?  Who has bloodshot eyes?

30-It is the one who spends long hours in the taverns, trying out new drinks.

31-Don’t gaze at the wine, seeing how red it is, how it sparkles in the cup, how smoothly it goes down.

32-For in the end it bites like a poisonous snake; it stings like a viper.

33-You will see hallucinations, and you will say crazy things.

34-You will stagger like a sailor tossed at sea, clinging to a swaying mast.

35-And you will say, “They hit me, but I didn’t feel it.I didn’t even know it when they beat me up.  When will I wake up so I can look for another drink?”

…but for the grace of God; there go I…
