3:10 \u201cHonor 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.'”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
20:1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0whoever is led astray by them is not wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
23:1-3
1 When you sit to dine with a ruler,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0note well what\u00a0is before you,
2\u00a0and put a knife to your throat
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0if you are given to gluttony.
3\u00a0Do not crave his delicacies,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0for that food is deceptive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
23:19-21
21 Listen, my son, and be wise,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and set your heart on the right path:
20\u00a0Do not join those who drink too much wine
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0or gorge themselves on meat,
21\u00a0for drunkards and gluttons become poor,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and drowsiness clothes them in rags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28:7\u00a0A discerning son heeds instruction,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
31:1, 4-5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 The sayings of King Lemuel\u2014an inspired utterance his mother taught him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4\u00a0It is not for kings, Lemuel\u2014
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0it is not for kings to drink wine,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0not for rulers to crave beer,
5\u00a0lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
21:17\u00a0Whoever loves pleasure will become poor;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
31:6-7
6\u00a0Let beer be for those who are perishing,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0wine for those who are in anguish!
7\u00a0Let them drink and forget their poverty
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and remember their misery no more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proverbs 23:29-35:
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Who has strife? Who has complaints?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30\u00a0Those who linger over wine,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31\u00a0Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0when it sparkles in the cup,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0when it goes down smoothly!
32\u00a0In the end it bites like a snake
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and poisons like a viper.
33\u00a0Your eyes will see strange sights,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34\u00a0You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0lying on top of the rigging.
35\u00a0\u201cThey hit me,\u201d you will say, \u201cbut I\u2019m not hurt!
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They beat me, but I don\u2019t feel it!
When will I wake up
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0so I can find another drink?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25:28\u00a0Like a city whose walls are broken through
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0is a person who lacks self-control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
16:32\u00a0Better a patient person than a warrior,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0one with self-control than one who takes a city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10:3\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0does not let the righteous go hungry,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10:24\u00a0What the wicked dread will overtake them;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0what the righteous desire will be granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10:28\u00a0The prospect of the righteous is joy,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11:6\u00a0The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11:23\u00a0The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13:4\u00a0A sluggard\u2019s appetite is never filled,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13:19\u00a0A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but fools detest turning from evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13:25\u00a0The righteous eat to their hearts\u2019 content,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
