1390. Wine is a Mocker

1 Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging,
And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow?
Who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes!
They that tarry long at wine,
They that tarry long at wine,
They that tarry long at wine.
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red,
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red,
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red,
Death lingereth there;
And it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder;
Look not thou upon the wine,
It biteth like a serpent,
Like a serpent,
It biteth like a serpent,
And stingeth like an adder.
Look not thou upon the wine, upon the wine, upon the wine.
