Proverbs 23:29-31

Good News Translation

-18-

^29-30 Show me people who drink too much, who have to try out fancy drinks, and I will show you people who are miserable and sorry for themselves, always causing trouble and always complaining. Their eyes are bloodshot, and they have bruises that could have been avoided. ³¹ Don't let wine tempt you, even though it is rich red, and it sparkles in the cup, and it goes down smoothly.
