Proverbs23:31
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red , when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth it self aright .
Earnestly, so as to inflame thine Appetite towards it, in which sense men are forbidden to look upon a Woman, Job 31. 1. Mat. 5. 28.
Which was the colour of the best Wines in that Countrey, which therefore are called Blood, Gen. 49. 11. Deut. 32. 14. and such were used by them in the Passover.
When it sparkleth and frisketh, and seems to smile upon a Man.
