Consider carefully what is before youThose who linger over wine The phrase "linger over wine" suggests a habitual or excessive indulgence in alcohol. In the Hebrew context, the word "linger" implies a sense of tarrying or spending an undue amount of time. Historically, wine was a common beverage in ancient Israel, often consumed with meals. However, the Bible frequently warns against overindulgence. The Hebrew word for wine, "yayin," is associated with both blessing and potential danger. In a conservative Christian perspective, this phrase serves as a caution against allowing any substance to take precedence over one's spiritual and moral responsibilities. It is a call to moderation and self-control, virtues that are highly esteemed in the Christian faith. who go to taste mixed drinks Parallel Commentaries ...
