Habakkuk 2:5 Cross References

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 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.
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.
