In context

31For if thou shouldest set thine eyes on bowls and cups, Thou shalt afterward go more naked than a pestle.

32But at last such a one stretches himself out as one smitten by a serpent, And venom is diffused through him as by a horned serpent.

— Proverbs 23:33 —

34And thou shalt lie as in the midst of the sea, And as a pilot in a great storm.

35And thou shalt say, They smote me, and I was not pained; And they mocked me, and I knew it not: When will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in company?
