The fear of the Lord leads to life;
then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler;
whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.
Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared.
Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
Do not say, "I'll do to him as he has done to me; I'll pay that man back for what he did."
Like a bad tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in times of trouble.
