They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

Verse 30 is found in chapter 23 of Proverbs. The extended description of alcohol’s effects uses accumulating questions about pain, quarrels, wounds, and red eyes. Drink appears as a force that seduces through appearance and promises pleasure but ultimately produces harm. The conclusion is especially significant: the person who remains under its influence desires to drink again even after suffering the consequences. The proverb thus describes a cycle of seduction and repetition.

Wo man beim Wein liegt und kommt, auszusaufen, was eingeschenkt ist.
Para los que se detienen mucho en el vino, Para los que van buscando la mistura.
De quienes se demoran con el vino, de quienes van a probar vinos mezclados.
Pour ceux qui s'attardent auprès du vin, Pour ceux qui vont déguster du vin mêlé.
A quelli che si fermano lungamente appresso il vino; A quelli che vanno cercando da mescere.
Para os que se demoram perto do vinho, para os que andam buscando vinho misturado.
就是那流連飲酒的人, 常去尋找調和的酒。
