SCRIPTURE

"Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:" — Luke 21:33-34 (ASV)

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, –

Please notice that "cares of this life" are placed alongside overeating and overdrinking, for people can be intoxicated and surfeited with care: either the care of getting, the care of keeping, the care of spending, or the care of losing.

Any of these cares may cause a surfeit and a drunkenness. Therefore, take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life,
