3:18 And he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong is wine! it causeth all men to err that drink it:
3:19 It maketh the mind of the king and of the fatherless child to be all one; of the bondman and of the freeman, of the poor man and of the rich:
3:20 It turneth also every thought into jollity and mirth, so that a man remembereth neither sorrow nor debt:
3:21 And it maketh every heart rich, so that a man remembereth neither king nor governor; and it maketh to speak all things by talents:
3:22 And when they are in their cups, they forget their love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords:
3:23 But when they are from the wine, they remember not what they have done.
3:24 O ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth to do thus? And when he had so spoken, he held his peace.
4:1 Then the second, that had spoken of the strength of the king, began to say,
4:2 O ye men, do not men excel in strength that bear rule over sea and land and all things in them?
4:3 But yet the king is more mighty: for he is lord of all these things, and hath dominion over them; and whatsoever he commandeth them they do.
