| 31 | Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. | H · G · S wine when it is red |
| 32 | At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. | H · G · S |
| 33 | Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. | H · G · S |
| 34 | Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. | H · G · S |
| 35 |
They have stricken
me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me,
and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet
again.
