Proverbs 23:31
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
KJV
Ne intuearis vinum quando flavescit, cum splenduerit in vitro color ejus : ingreditur blande,
Vulgate
μὴ μεθύσκεσθε ἐν οἴνοις, ἀλλὰ ὁμιλεῖτε ἀνθρώποις δικαίοις, καὶ ὁμιλεῖτε ἐν περιπάτοις· ἐὰν γὰρ εἰς τὰς φιάλας καὶ τὰ ποτήρια δῷς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, ὕστερον περιπατήσεις γυμνότερος ὑπέρου·
LXX
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it sparkleth in the cup, When it goeth down smoothly:
