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
Caesarius of Arles
AD 542
People who want to be like this try miserably to excuse themselves. They say, My friend will be unpleasant if I do not give him as much as he wants to drink when I invite him to a banquet. [But I say to you,] Do not have a friend who is willing to make you displeasing to God, for he is both his own enemy and yours. If you make yourself and someone else intoxicated, you will have a man as your friend but God as an enemy.
