From this month's Envoy:
10. Do not eat anything you find already dead (Deut. 14:21).
9. Give beer to those who are perishing, and wine to those in anguish (Prov. 31:6).
8. Some small boys came out of the city and jeered at [Elisha] saying, "Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!" And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys (2 Kings 2:23).
7. "Dorcas" (Acts 9:36).
6. Spend the money for whatever you desire ... wine or strong drink, or anything else you would enjoy, and there before the Lord, your God, you shall partake of it and make merry with your family (Deut. 14:26).
5. I will accept no bull from your house (Psalm 50:9).
4. A fool's lips bring strife, and his mouth invites a beating. (Proverbs 18:6).
3. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, [but] it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth (Proverbs 26:5).
2. Behold, you are beautiful, my love! ... Your hair is like a flock of goats ... your belly is a heap of wheat ... your nose is like a tower of Lebanon overlooking Damascus (Song of Solomon 4:1, 7:2, 4).
1. There is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine (Isaiah 24:11).
(My favorite? Number 7, of course!)
