Proverbs 23:29 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 23:29

27 ^aFor a harlot is a deep pit,
And a seductress is a narrow well.

28 ^aShe also lies in wait as for a victim,
And increases the unfaithful among men.

29 ^aWho has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who ^bhas redness of eyes?

30 ^aThose who linger long at the wine,
Those who go in search of ^bmixed wine.

31 Do not look on the wine when it¹ is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it swirls around smoothly;

32 At the last it bites like a serpent,
And stings like a viper.

33 Your eyes will see strange things,
And your heart will utter perverse things.

34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the¹ midst of the sea,
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:

35 “They^a have struck me, but I was not hurt;
They have beaten me, but I did not feel it.
When shall ^bI awake, that I may seek another drink?”
