Proverbs 23:33

Conservative English Version

You will see weird things, and your mind will play tricks on you.

See the chapter Copy

Rulers and judges gossip about me, and drunkards make up songs to mock me.

Wisdom will protect you from evil schemes and from those liars

It isn't smart to get drunk! Drinking makes a fool of you and leads to fights.

You will feel tossed about like someone trying to sleep on a ship in a storm.

Drinking makes you forget your responsibilities, and you mistreat the poor.

(SEE 5:3)

On the day their king was crowned, his officials got him drunk, and he joined in their foolishness.
