3:10 “Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.”
9:2, 5 “She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table… ‘Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed.'”
20:1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler;
whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
23:1-3
1 When you sit to dine with a ruler,
note well what is before you,
2 and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to gluttony.
3 Do not crave his delicacies,
for that food is deceptive.
23:19-21
21 Listen, my son, and be wise,
and set your heart on the right path:
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine
or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
28:7 A discerning son heeds instruction,
but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.
31:1, 4-5
1 The sayings of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,
not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
21:17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor;
whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.
31:6-7
6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
Proverbs 23:29-35:
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has strife? Who has complaints?
Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who linger over wine,
who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake
and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt!
They beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up
so I can find another drink?”
25:28 Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
16:32 Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.
10:3 The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
10:24 What the wicked dread will overtake them;
what the righteous desire will be granted.
10:28 The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
11:6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.
11:23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.
13:4 A sluggard’s appetite is never filled,
but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
13:19 A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
but fools detest turning from evil.
13:25 The righteous eat to their hearts’ content,
but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.
