Proverbs 23:31 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. Look not thou upon the wine - Let neither the color, the odour, the sparkling, etc., of the wine, when poured out, induce thee to drink of it. However good and pure it may be, it will to thee be a snare, because thou art addicted to it, and hast no self-command.

Proverbs 23:31

31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
