Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
