28 The right amount of wineconsumed at the right timemakes for a joyful heartand a light spirit.
29 Too much wine drunkin the midst of strife and conflictmakes for a bitter spirit.
30 Getting drunk causes fools to losetheir temper and do themselves harm,reducing their strength,and adding injuries as well.
31 Don’t correct your neighborsat a wine banquet,and don’t show them contemptwhen they are partying;don’t say any reproachful wordto them,and don’t trouble themwith any demands.
