Representative Text

1 Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging,
And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise,
And whosoever, whosoever, whosever is deceived thereby is not wise, is not wise.
Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging,
And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise,
And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise,
Who hath woe,
They that tarry long at the wine,
Who hath sorrow,
They that tarry long at the wine,
Who hath contentions
They that tarry long at the wine,
Who hath babbling?
They that tarry long at the wine,
Who hath wounds without cause?
They that tarry long at the wine,
Who hath redness of eyes?
They that tarry long at the wine.
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red,
When it moveth itself aright,
Death lurketh there,
For it biteth like a serpent,
And it stingeth like an adder,
For it biteth like a serpent and it stingeth, like an adder,
And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise, is not wise.
