Ecclesiasticus 31:27 Context
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. 29But wine drunken with excesse, maketh bitternesse of the minde, with brawling and quarreling.
