cup, when it goes down smoothly! 32 In the end it bites like a snake and
poisons like a viper. 33 Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind
imagine confusing things. 34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying
on top of the rigging. 35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I'm not hurt!
They beat me, but I don't feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another
drink?”
