For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.

They speak vanity each one with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

Do not drink wine or strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting, that you not die. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations,

No priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court.
