33<\/strong>. strange<\/em> women] This rendering, which is retained in R.V. marg. (comp. , LXX.; extraneas<\/em>, Vulg.), is in keeping with the usage of the word in this Book, and with the undoubted connection between excess of wine and lust; but strange things<\/em>, R.V. text, preserves the parallelism better: the eye of the drunkard is haunted by strange visions; his mouth utters perverse words.<\/p>\n Verse 33<\/span>. Thine eyes shall behold strange women<\/B><\/I>] Evil concupiscence is inseparable from drunkenness. Mr. Herbert<\/I> shows these effects well: – <\/P> He that is drunken<\/I> may his mother<\/I> kill,<\/P> Big with his sister<\/I>: he hath lost the reins;<\/P> Is outlawed by himself. All kinds of ill<\/I><\/P> Did, with his liquor, slide into his veins.<\/P> The drunkard forfeits man<\/I>; and doth divest<\/P> All worldly right, save what he hath by beast<\/I>.<\/P> HERBERT’S Poems<\/I>. – The Church Porch<\/I>. <\/P> <\/p>\n Behold, <\/B>with evil intent, or lustfully, which is the effect of drinking much wine, as is noted in Scripture, Gen 19:31<\/span>,35<\/span>; Ho 4:18<\/span>, and other authors. <\/P> Thine heart shall utter perverse things; <\/B>thine heart, which, when thou hadst the use of thy wit, concealed, will then discover its wickedness by filthy and perverse speeches. <\/P> <\/p>\n 33, 34.<\/B> The moral effects: itinflames passion (Gen 19:31<\/span>;Gen 19:35<\/span>), lays open the heart,produces insensibility to the greatest dangers, and debars fromreformation, under the severest sufferings.<\/P><\/p>\n Thine eyes shall behold strange women<\/strong>,…. Being inflamed with wine, shall look upon women, other men’s wives, and lust after them; or harlots, whom seeking after or meeting with, when in their cups, are drawn into their embraces; excess of wine leads to whoredom w. So Aben Ezra supplies the word “women”, and Jarchi interprets it to this sense; but the Targum renders it, “strange things”; and so many others: a drunken man, through the lunges and vapours that ascend into his brain, fancies he sees strange sights; he sees things double; imagines that he sees trees walk, and many such like absurd and monstrous things;<\/p>\n and thine heart shall utter perverse things<\/strong>; or the mouth, from the abundance of the heart, and imagination of it, shall utter things contrary to sense and reason, contrary to truth and righteousness, contrary to chastity and good manners, contrary to their own honour and credit, contrary to God and men; the mouth then utters all that is in the heart, which it at other times conceals. It may have a particular respect to the unchaste, filthy, and obscene words, uttered to strange women, into whose company men fall when in liquor.<\/p>\n w “Vina parant animos Veneri”, Ovid. de Arte Amandi, l. 1.<\/p>\n (33) Thine eyes shall behold strange women.<\/strong>i.e.<\/em>, look out for them, impurity being the constant attendant of drunkenness. Or, the word may be translated strange things, referring to the strange fancies of a drunkard, the horrible and fantastic visions present to his disordered brain.<\/p>\n Perverse things.<\/strong>His notions of right and wrong being completely distorted.<\/p>\n 33<\/strong>. <\/strong> Eyes heart <\/strong> Intoxicating drinks inflame lust, and produce all manner of improper language. Zockler renders: “Thine eye shall see strange things; not strange women, but strange things, the objects of a drunken man’s vision, as the doubling of certain objects, their inversion, their tremulous or swaying motion,” etc. So, also, Miller. Is there here a reference to the delerium tremens, <\/em> which Miller calls “the nightmare <\/em> of the vice?” the horrible imagery and spectral terrors conjured up under the influence of mania a potu!<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n 3<\/strong> 4 <\/p>\n Lieth down top of a mast <\/strong> Like the sailor who goes to sleep at the masthead, he is in imminent peril but knows it not. It may be questioned whether , ( rosh hhibbel,<\/em>) means “masthead,”<\/p>\n especially as on eastern ships men do not mount aloft,but work the sails by ropes from the deck.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n v. 33. Thine eyes,<\/strong> under the influence of the liquor, as it clouds the senses, shall behold strange women,<\/strong> rather, strange things, all objects being doubled, or uncertain, or swaying, in the vision of the drunken man, and thine heart shall utter perverse things,<\/strong> foolish talk. <\/p>\n Pro 23:33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.<\/p>\n Ver. 33. Thine eyes shall behold strange women.<\/strong> ] See Trapp on “<\/em> Pro 23:29 “<\/em> Venter aestuans mero, spumat in libidinem,<\/em> saith Jerome. A belly filled with wine, foameth out filthiness. Wine is the milk of Venus, a<\/em> saith another. Drunkenness is the gallery that lechery walketh through, saith a third. b<\/em> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thine heart shall utter perverse things.<\/strong> ] Preposterous, distorted, dislocated matters: soliciting thy neighbour’s wife to wickedness; or otherwise vomiting out that which God hateth, and godly men abhor. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> A . – Arist.<\/em> <\/p>\n b<\/em> Vina parent animos Veneri.<\/em> – Ovid.<\/p>\n strange = apostate. Hebrew. zur. See note on Pro 2:16, Pro 5:3. Not the same word as in Pro 23:27. <\/p>\n Pro 23:33-35<\/p>\n Pro 23:33-35<\/p>\n “Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thy heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, thou shalt say, and I was not hurt; They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.”<\/p>\n What we have here is a description of an alcoholic. His craving for alcohol dominates every other appetite. That line about lying on the top of a mast suggests an impossibility; and another rendition is: “Like one lying on top of the rigging.”<\/p>\n Pro 23:33. A drunkard cannot trust his eyesight. Ever hear of a drunkard seeing two bridges before him and wondering which to drive over? And, oh, the foolish, the coarse, the vulgar, the wicked things that men say when drunk-things that embarrass polite society, that make youngsters laugh but angels weep!<\/p>\n Pro 23:34. As a drunkards whole system pitches and tosses and finally results in vomiting. His reeling, staggering, and uncertainty are referred to in Isa 28:7-8 : These reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink…All tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. Imagine trying to sleep on top of a ships mast! Such is comparable to a drunkards physical feelings.<\/p>\n Pro 23:35. Pulpit Commentary: The drunken man has been beaten…but the blows did not pain him; his condition has rendered him insensible to pain. He has some vague idea that he has suffered certain rough treatment at the hands of his companions, but it has made no impression on him. He will not be able to remember what happened to him while he was drunk. When shall I awake? refers to the prolonged sleep that his drunkenness has brought on. And yet in spite of all the woes and the sorrows and other bitter consequences that such a life has brought to him, you can be sure of this: when he does wake up, he wont have any more sense than to go out and seek it again (Isa 56:12).

Thou shalt be as he that lieth down To sleep; in the midst of the sea That is, in a ship in the midst of the sea; as he that lieth upon the top of the mast The worst part of a ship to lie down upon, because of its perpetual tossings, and the hazard of him that sleeps upon it. Thou wilt grow so perfectly senseless, that not only thy most important business will be neglected, but thou wilt un-thinkingly run thyself into the extremest hazards, without any apprehension of danger: being no more able to direct thy course, than a pilot who sleeps when a ship is tossed in the midst of the sea; or to take notice of the peril thou art in, than he that falls asleep on the top of a mast, where he was set to keep the watch.<\/p>\n 23:33 Thy {o} eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall utter perverse things.<\/p>\n (o) That is, drunkenness will bring you to whoredom.<\/p>\n Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. 33. strange women] This rendering, which is retained in R.V. marg.
