Proverbs 23:35
Proverbs 23:35 King James Version (KJV)
They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
Proverbs 23:29-35 The Message (MSG)
Who are the people who are always crying the blues? Who do you know who reeks of self-pity? Who keeps getting beaten up for no reason at all? Whose eyes are bleary and bloodshot? It’s those who spend the night with a bottle, for whom drinking is serious business. Don’t judge wine by its label, or its bouquet, or its full-bodied flavor. Judge it rather by the hangover it leaves you with— the splitting headache, the queasy stomach. Do you really prefer seeing double, with your speech all slurred, Reeling and seasick, drunk as a sailor? “They hit me,” you’ll say, “but it didn’t hurt; they beat on me, but I didn’t feel a thing. When I’m sober enough to manage it, bring me another drink!”
Proverbs 23:35 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
“They struck me, but I did not become ill; They beat me, but I did not know it. When shall I awake? I will seek another drink.”
Proverbs 23:35 New Century Version (NCV)
You will think, “They hit me, but I’m not hurt. They beat me up, but I don’t remember it. I wish I could wake up. Then I would get another drink.”
Proverbs 23:35 American Standard Version (ASV)
They have stricken me, shalt thou 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.

“They struck me, but I was not hurt! They beat me, but I did not feel it! When will I wake up? I will seek more wine.”
