Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?
All Commentaries on Proverbs 23:29 Go To Proverbs 23
Clement Of Alexandria
AD 215
By the mention of redness of eyes—a sign of death—it is made clear that the winebibber is already dead to the Word and to reason. It declares his death to the Lord. If one forgets the motives that prompt him to seek the true life, he is dragged down to corruption. With good reason, then, the Educator, in his concern for our salvation, sternly forbids us, “Do not drink wine to drunkenness.” –.
