rotherham@Proverbs:23:30 @ They who tarry over wine, they who go in to search for mixed wine.

rotherham@Proverbs:23:31 @ Do not look on wine when it becometh red, when it giveth in the cup its sparkle, glideth down smoothly.

rotherham@Proverbs:23:32 @ Its after effect, is that, like a serpent, it biteth, and, like a viper, it doth sting.

rotherham@Proverbs:23:33 @ Thine eyes, will see strange women, and, thy heart, will speak perverse things:

rotherham@Proverbs:23:34 @ So shalt thou become, as one lying down in the heart of the sea, or as one lying down on the top of the mastgear:

rotherham@Proverbs:23:35 @ They smote me I felt no pain, They struck me down I noticed it not, When shall I wake up? I will go on, I will seek it, again!
