DRUNKENESS

Eph. 5:18; I Thes. 5:5-; Rom. 13:12-14;Luke 21:34;Pr 23:20;Hab 2:15;Pr 20:1; Ho 4:11

 

I will not be drunk with or under the influence of wine, beer, alcohol, or drugs; but I am Full of the Holy Ghost & Power. It is not for Kings, it is not for Kings to drink wine, beer, alcohol or drugs, nor for princes intoxicating drink; lest they drink and forget the law, and pervert the justice of all the afflicted. I do not mix with winebibbers or with gluttonous eaters of meat; for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags. Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor, pressing her to your bottle, even to make her drunk that you may look on her nakedness! You are filled with shame instead of glory. You also--drink! And be exposed as uncircumcised! The cup of the Lord's right hand will be turned against you, and utter shame will be on your glory. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise. He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich. Harlotry, wine, and new wine enslave the heart.
