JEREMIAH 1:5

Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came out of the womb, I sanctified you…

PSALM 139:13-14

You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I will give thanks to you,

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

PROVERBS 23:20-21,23-25

Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat: for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags…

Who has woe? Who has sorrow?

Who has strife? Who has complaints?

Who has needless bruises?

Who has bloodshot eyes?

Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek out mixed wine.

Don’t look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly. In the end, it bites like a snake, and poisons like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will imagine confusing things.

Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging: “They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don’t feel it!

When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another drink.”
