SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:30
Para los que se detienen junto al vino, para los que van buscando la mixtura.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. They that tarry long at the wine , etc.] At drinking it. Do not care to stir from it when at it; spend whole days and nights in it, and are overcome by it, and so bring upon them all the above evils; they that go to seek mixed wine , not wine mixed with water, as used commonly by temperate people in hot countries; but either mixed with spices, to make it more palatable, or with different sorts of wine, some very strong, and more heady and intoxicating; or mere wine meant; wine “poured out”, as the word signifies, where there is plenty of it; and such as are given to wine go and seek out such places, and where the best is to be had. So the Targum, “they go and seek the house of mixture, or mixed wine;” or, as the Syriac version, “the house of feasting;” and so the Arabic: “where there are junketing and drinking bouts,” as the Septuagint.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29-35 - Solomon warns against drunkenness. Those that would be kept from sin must keep from all the beginnings of it, and fear coming within reac of its allurements. Foresee the punishment, what it will at last en in, if repentance prevent not. It makes men quarrel. Drunkards wilfull make woe and sorrow for themselves. It makes men impure and insolent The tongue grows unruly; the heart utters things contrary to reason religion, and common civility. It stupifies and besots men. They are i danger of death, of damnation; as much exposed as if they slept upo the top of a mast, yet feel secure. They fear no peril when the terror of the Lord are before them; they feel no pain when the judgments of God are actually upon them. So lost is a drunkard to virtue and honour so wretchedly is his conscience seared, that he is not ashamed to say I will seek it again. With good reason we were bid to stop before the beginning. Who that has common sense would contract a habit, or sel himself to a sin, which tends to such guilt and misery, and exposes man every day to the danger of dying insensible, and awaking in hell Wisdom seems in these chapters to take up the discourse as at the beginning of the book. They must be considered as the words of Chris to the sinner __________________________________________________________________
