On Sobriety

29 Who has woe? Who has grief?
    Who has contention? Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
    Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who linger over their wine,
    who consume mixed drinks.
31 Don’t stare into red wine,
    when it sparkles in the cup
        and goes down smoothly.

    Who has strife? Who has complaints?

30 Those who linger over wine,(A)

31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
    when it sparkles in the cup,
    when it goes down smoothly!
