78. 65. Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

104. 14. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; 15. And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

107. 27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.

PROVERBS 3. 9. Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

20. I. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

23. 20. Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: 21. For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty.

23. 29. Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30. They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 3L Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 33. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse 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 stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

31. 4. It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: 5. Lest they drink,

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, as a mighty man recovering himself from wine.

He causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and grain for the cultivation of man, that he may bring forth food from the earth; and wine which cheers the heart of man, (so as) to brighten his face more than oil, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

They are giddy, and stagger as a drunken man, and all their wisdom is swallowed up.

Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and with vine-fruit thy presses shall abound.

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever goes astray through it is not wise.

Be not among topers of wine; among wasters of their flesh: for the toper and the waster (= profligate) shall be made poor.

Who has lamentation? who has sorrow? who has strifes? who has brawling? who has unnecessary wounds? who has dark-discoloured eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek out mixed wine. Gaze not on wine when it is red, when it gives its bubble in the cup, when it moves itself straightly; for the end of it is that it bites like a serpent and pierces like an adder. Thine eyes shall gaze upon abandoned women, and thine heart shall devise deceits. thou shalt be like one lying in the midst of the sea, and like one lying on the top of a mast. [And thou wilt say,] They have stricken me, but I have cared not; they have beaten me, but I knew it not. When I am aroused I will gather myself up, and will seek it yet again.
