Ecclesiasticus 31:26

Ecclesiasticus 31:26 Context

²⁴But against him that is a niggard of his meate, the whole citie shall murmure; and the testimonies of his niggardnesse shall not be doubted of. ²⁵Shew not thy valiantnesse in wine, for wine hath destroyed many. ²⁶The furnace prooueth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkennesse. ²⁷Wine is as good as life to a man if it be drunke moderatly: what life is then to a man that is without wine? for it was made to make men glad. ²⁸Wine measurably drunke, and in season, bringeth gladnesse of the heart and cheerefulnesse of the minde.
