Proverbs 23:32 — Meaning and Application

They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, {when} it moveth itself aright.

At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. {an...: or, a cockatrice}

Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. {the midst...: Heb. the heart of the sea}
