PROVERBS 23:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.”
Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mind will imagine confusing things—a description of drunkenness's cognitive effects, establishing that alcohol destroys perception and rationality. The phrase 'strange sights' (zar yiru) describes altered perception; alcohol creates hallucinations. The theological significance involves the principle that sobriety is necessary for accurate perception of reality.
