In context
25Show not thy valiantness in wine; For wine hath destroyed many.
26The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: So doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkenness.
— Sirach 34:27 —
28Wine measurably drunk and in season Bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind:
29But wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the mind, With brawling and quarreling.
