Don’t join those who drink too much wine. Don’t join those who stuff themselves with meat.

Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat,

Do not carouse with drunkards or feast with gluttons,

Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine or with those who gorge themselves on meat.

Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;

Do not mix with winebibbers, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;

Be not among winebibbers, Among gluttonous eaters of flesh:

Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine or with those who gorge themselves on meat.

Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

Do not spend time among drunkards, among those who eat too much meat,

Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat:

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks,

Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

“ Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.

Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine.

Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

A discerning son heeds instruction, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.

and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do— living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.

But see, there is joy and revelry, slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine!“ Let us eat and drink,” you say,“ for tomorrow we die!”

“ There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.

Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.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.Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mind will imagine confusing things.You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.“ They hit me,” you will say,“ but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish!Let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.

“ Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.
