Who stay up late in the evening so that wine may inflame them!

11Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink,

Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!

Who stay up late in the night till wine inflames them!

11Woe to those who rise early in the morning

in pursuit of strong drink,

who linger into the evening,

to be inflamed by wine.

to start drinking!

How terrible for those who stay up late at night

until they are drunk with wine!
