Proverbs 23

<< Proverbs 23 >>
New International Version 1984
 

32In the end it bites like a snake

and poisons like a viper.

33Your eyes will see strange sights

and your mind imagine confusing things.

34You 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?”
