31Do not look at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup
and goes down smoothly.
32At the last it bites like a serpent,
and stings like an adder.
33Your eyes will see strange things,
and your mind utter perverse things.

Do not look at wine when it is red,

Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!

Your eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine confusing things.

Don’t gaze at wine because it is red,
because it gleams in the cup
and goes down smoothly.
In the end it bites like a snake
and stings like a viper.
Your eyes will see strange things,
and you will say absurd things.

NLTNew Living Translation
Don’t gaze at the wine, seeing how red it is,
how it sparkles in the cup, how smoothly it goes down.
For in the end it bites like a poisonous snake;
it stings like a viper.
You will see hallucinations,
and you will say crazy things.

Do not look at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles on the cup,
going down smoothly.
In the end, it will bite like a serpent,
and it will sting like an adder.
Your eyes will see strange things,
and your heart will speak perverse things.

KJV 1900King James Version
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red,
When it giveth his colour in the cup,
When it moveth itself aright.
At the last it biteth like a serpent,
And stingeth like an adder.
Thine eyes shall behold strange women,
And thine heart shall utter perverse things.
