Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who bhas redness of eyes?
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it swirls around smoothly;
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
They have beaten me, but I did not feel it.
When shall bI awake, that I may seek another drink?”

Proverbs 23:31
when . . . red—the color denoting greater strength (compare Genesis 49:11; Deuteronomy 32:14).
giveth . . . cup—literally, "gives its eye," that is, sparkles.
moveth . . . aright—Perhaps its foaming is meant.
Proverbs 23:26-35
A solemn warning against whoredom and drunkenness (Hosea 4:11).
give me—This is the address of that divine wisdom so often presented (Proverbs 8:1; Proverbs 9:3, etc.).
heart—confidence.
observe—keep.
my ways—such as I teach you (Proverbs 3:17; Proverbs 9:6).
