Do not lookon the winewhenit is red,Whenit sparklesin the cup,When it goesdownsmoothly;
Now when eveningcameDavidarosefrom his bedand walkedaroundon the roofof the king'shouse,and from the roofhe sawa womanbathing;and the womanwas verybeautifulin appearance.
"Howevernow, Job,pleasehearmy speech,And listento allmy words.
Turnawaymy eyesfrom lookingat vanity,And reviveme in Your ways.
Do not desireher beautyin your heart,Norlet her captureyou with her eyelids.
And your mouthlike the bestwine!""It goes[down] smoothlyfor my beloved,Flowinggently[through] the lipsof those whofallasleep.
"Ifyour eyecauses you to stumble,throwit out; it is betterfor you to enterthe kingdomof Godwith one eye,than,havingtwoeyes,to be castinto hell,
And do not get drunkwith wine,for that is dissipation,but be filledwith the Spirit,
For allthat is in the world,the lustof the fleshand the lustof the eyesand the boastful prideof life,is not from the Father,but is from the world.
