Proverbs 23:31 in Context — Proverbs 23
29 ¿Para quién será el ay? ¿para quién el ay? ¿para quién las rencillas? ¿para quién las quejas? ¿para quién las heridas en balde? ¿para quién lo amoratado de los ojos?
30 Para los que se detienen mucho en el vino, para los que van buscando la mistura.
31 No mires al vino cuando rojea, cuando resplandece su color en el vaso: éntrase suavemente;
32 [Mas] al fin como serpiente morderá, y como basilisco dará dolor:
33 Tus ojos mirarán las extrañas, y tu corazón hablará perversidades.
