Proverbs 23:31-35 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

31. Look not upon the wine when it is yellow, when the colour thereof shineth in the glass: it goeth in pleasantly,

32. But in the end, it will bite like a snake, and will spread abroad poison like a basilisk.

33. Thy eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall utter perverse things.

34. And thou shalt be as one sleeping in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot fast asleep, when the stern is lost.

35. And thou shalt say: They have beaten me, but I was not sensible of pain: they drew me, and I felt not: when shall I awake, and find wine again?
