Proverbs 23:28-33 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

28. They ambush you like robbers.And they cause many men to be unfaithful to their wives.

29-30. Some people drink too much wine.They try out all the different kinds of drinks.So they have trouble. They are sad.They fight. They complain.They have unnecessary bruises.They have bloodshot eyes.

31. Don’t stare at the wine’s pretty, red color.It may sparkle in the cup.It may go down your throat smoothly.

32. But later it bites like a snake.Like a snake, it poisons you.

33. Your eyes will see strange sights.And your mind will be confused.
