Proverbs 23:31 in other translations
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
Do not gaze at wine while it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly.
Don’t look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.
