Wine causes you to make fun of others, and beer causes you to start fights. Anyone who is led astray by them is not wise.

Israel’s leaders are drunk from wine. They can’t walk straight. They are drunk from beer. They are unsteady on their feet. Priests and prophets drink beer. They can’t walk straight. They are mixed up from drinking too much wine. They drink too much beer. They are unsteady on their feet. The prophets see visions but don’t really understand them. The priests aren’t able to make good decisions.

“ Be careful. If you aren’t, your hearts will be loaded down with wasteful living, drunkenness and the worries of life. Then the day the Son of Man returns will close on you like a trap. It will happen suddenly.

A man who commits adultery has no sense. Anyone who does it destroys himself.

My people ask a wooden statue of a god for advice. They get answers from a stick of wood. They are as unfaithful as prostitutes. They are not faithful to their God.

An unfaithful wife is like a deep pit. A wife who commits adultery is like a narrow well.She hides and waits like a thief. She causes many men to sin.Who has trouble? Who has sorrow? Who argues? Who has problems? Who has wounds for no reason? Who has red eyes?Those who spend too much time with wine. Or those who like to taste wine mixed with spices.Don’t look at wine when it is red. Don’t look at it when it bubbles in the cup. And don’t look at it when it goes down smoothly.In the end it bites like a snake. It bites like a poisonous serpent.Your eyes will see strange sights. Your mind will imagine weird things.You will feel like someone sleeping on the ocean. You will think you are lying among the ropes in a boat.“ 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?”

When you do these things, keep in mind the times we are living in. The hour has already come for you to wake up from your sleep. The full effects of our salvation are closer now than when we first believed in Christ.The dark night of evil is nearly over. The day of Christ’s return is almost here. So let us get rid of the works of darkness that harm us. Let us do the works of light that protect us.Let us act as we should, like people living in the daytime. Have nothing to do with wild parties, and don’t get drunk. Don’t take part in sexual sins or evil conduct. Don’t fight with each other or be jealous of anyone.Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ as if he were your clothing. Don’t think about how to satisfy sinful desires.

They have harps and lyres at their banquets. They have tambourines, flutes and wine. But they don’t have any concern for the mighty acts of the Lord. They don’t have any respect for what his power has done.

When a wise person takes wealth by force, they become foolish. It is sinful to take money from people who want special favors.
