(Disclaimer: This transcript is auto-generated and may contain mistakes.) the Bible reads my son give me thine heart and let thine eyes observe my ways for a whore is a deep ditch and a strange woman is a narrow pit we're gonna get into this a little bit she also lieth and wait as for a prey and increase at the transgressors among men who hath woe who hath sorrow who hath contentions who hath babbling who hath wounds without cause who hath redness of eyes they that tarry long at the wine they that go to seek mixed wine look not thou upon the wine when it is red when it giveth his color in the cup when it moveth itself aright at the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder now I skipped over a verse in my notes here jump up real quick to verse number 19 because obviously we're reading about the effects of alcohol here in Proverbs 23 just jump up real quick to verse number 19 about says hear thou my son and be wise and guide thine heart in the way and one of the things I loved is a side note on the book of Proverbs over and over and over again throughout the book of Proverbs you see you know hear my son this is this is you know the the Solomon or whoever's writing the Proverbs just addressing their son right going my son just just please get instruction please get wisdom please understand what I'm trying to tell you today hear thou my son and be wise we want you to grow up I want you to be wise I want you to understand I don't want you to go down the wrong path guide thine heart in the way be not among wine bibbers don't be among no you know definitely don't make them your best friends but don't be among people don't be hanging out with people who are just giving a drinking drinking booze drinking wine don't be among the wine bibbers nothing good is gonna come of that don't be the person that says oh I'm not gonna drink anything but I'm still gonna go out to the bar and hang out with my buddies don't be around that that was I look I've done it when I quit drinking I still never separated myself completely out oh I'm still gonna go out to bar look you don't want to do that for many reasons nothing good happens and as we're gonna get into again when you look at everything that happens as a result of alcohol you don't want to be around the people who are indulging in that the Bible says in verse 21 for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags you want to end up being a deadbeat and just come to rags and just flush everything you have down the toilet go ahead start hanging out with the wine bibbers go ahead hang out at the local pub you're gonna flush your stinking life away for first just some poison in a bottle that's gonna destroy your body anyways you might as well flush your wealth down with it the Bible says we're gonna jump back down to verse number 29 who hath woe who hath sorrow who hath contentions drinking booze is gonna bring you whoa the world's gonna tell you that oh no we have so much fun this is great it's a party man whoo yeah we're gonna go get drunk tonight that's what I tell you don't be deceived by it don't let these people think no man don't listen don't listen to that that preacher he doesn't know what he's talking about we're gonna go have some fun this is cool man come with us don't fall for it it's not what it's what they're telling you it's cracked up to be they're gonna think you have so much fun you know what's gonna cause you use it cause you say stupid things you're gonna look like a bunch of fools cuz you have people laughing like idiots because someone says something stupid that's what happens when people get drunk it's really not that fun on top of that it's not gonna bring you happiness you think you're all happy you know you see all these people yeah but these people when they're drunk they're all so happy it doesn't last it doesn't last it lasts for a fleeting moment but you know what comes after that whoa sorrow emptiness it doesn't fulfill but this who hath well who asks our who have contentions there's a lot of fights that go on when people get drunk too for no reason someone you know there's people that go out to the bars just for the just to look to get in fights they get drunk because that builds up their you know their their ego or builds build puffs themselves up because they're probably cowards without it anyways they got to get their beer muscles right and then they want to prove how tough they are and just and just get in the fight the people that sound like fun you just want to go out and get in fights with people for no reason at all it's not fun it's not cool who hath babbling who hath wounds without cause who hath redness of eyes they that Terry long at the wine they that go to seek mixed wine look not thou upon the wine when it is red when it giveth his color in a cup when it move with itself right God's trying to teach you don't even look at it don't be among the people are going out and getting drunk don't even look at the booze don't tempt yourself don't don't you know when you're looking on it you're gonna be thinking about it don't even don't even let it come in your mind avoid it completely verse 32 at the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder getting involved with booze is about as fun as letting a snake bite you you don't want to just go out and find a rattlesnake and let's just see if we could get it to bite us and see how that feels that's what it's like in the end not the beginning in the end that's what it's gonna do to you
