Sermon on wine at Proverbs 20:1 ” Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever deceived thereby is not wise.”

Matthew Henry Commented ” Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging. It smiles upon him at first, but at the last it bites. It rages in his conscience It is raging in the body. When the wine is in the wit is out and then the man, according as his natural temper is, either mocks like a fool or rages like a madman. Drunkenness which pretends to be a sociable thing, renders men unfit for society. A drunkard is a fool, and a fool he is likely to be.
