Others read them thus; Their wine is refractarious or 1rebellious: that is, (understanding them by the same metonymy) their excessive drinking of wine and strong drink, maketh them refractarious and rebellious: according to that, Prou. 20. 1. Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging: that 2is, it maketh men to mock and rage. And this translation is very probable: first, because the word may well bear it; for strong drink maketh men refractary, and to run back, as an unruly heifer, when her master putteth on the yoke, runneth backward, and will not suffer the yoke to come upon her neck.

Others reade them thus; Their wine is refractarious or 1rebellious: that is, (vnderstanding them by the same metonymie) their excessiue drinking of wine and strong drinke, maketh them refractarious and rebellious: according to that, Prou. 20. 1.

And this translation is very probable: first, because the word may well beare it; for strong drinke maketh men refractary, and to runne backe, as an vnrulie heifer, when her master putteth on the yoke, runneth backward, and will not suffer the yoke to come vpon her necke. And thus the same word is vsed, Hosea 7. 14.
