May 23rd, 2011
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…
