Proverbs 23:33

God's Word

Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mouth will say embarrassing things.

See the chapter Copy

Those who sit at the gate gossip about me, and drunkards make up songs about me.

⌞Wisdom will⌟ save you from the way of evil, from the person who speaks devious things,

Wine ⌞makes people⌟ mock, liquor ⌞makes them⌟ noisy, and everyone under their influence is unwise.

You will be like someone lying down in the middle of the sea or like someone lying down on top of a ship’s mast, saying,

Otherwise, they drink and forget what they have decreed and change the standard of justice for all oppressed people.

They drank the wine and praised their gods made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, or stone.

On the day of the king’s celebration, the officials become drunk from wine, and the king joins mockers.
