Who Hath Woe? The Seduction of Wine
A vivid extended portrait asks who has woe, sorrow, conflict, needless wounds, and red eyes, then answers with prolonged intoxication. Wine appears attractive but finally bites like a serpent, distorts perception, numbs pain, and leaves the drinker wanting another round.
Proverbs gives an extended picture of woe, wounds, distorted perception, and repeated craving caused by wine; Ephesians directly commands believers not to be drunk with wine. The apostolic command reinforces the same sober warning about intoxication and loss of self-control.
