The wicked go astray from the womb,
they err from their birth, speaking lies.

They have venom like the venom of a serpent,

Those who tarry long over wine,
those who go to try mixed wine.

Do not look at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup
and goes down smoothly.

At the last it bites like a serpent,
and stings like an adder.

Your eyes will see strange things,
and your mind utter perverse things.

He who digs a pit will fall into it;
and a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.

The toil of a fool wearies him,
so that he does not know the way to the city.

Buy truth, and do not sell it;
buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

Whoever can read this writing and tell me its meaning will be clothed in purple, have a gold chain placed around his neck, and will become the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
