Look not thou upon the wine earnestly, so as to inflame thine appetite towards it; in which sense men are forbidden to look upon a woman, Job 31:1 Matthew 5:28. When it is red; which was the colour of the best wines in that country, which therefore are called blood, Genesis 49:11 Deuteronomy 32:14; and such were used by them in the passover. When it moveth itself aright; when it sparkleth and frisketh, and seems to smile upon a man.
