Secondly in the context of Prov 23 it says "instructions" at least twice in the chapter. and not only that none of us disagreed about abstenence from alcoholic beverages ever anywhere. that is where you are Fantasizing.

The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, not Greek. The HEBREW word for "look" is
"ra'ah", and the meaning of this HEBREW word from Strong's is:
Strong's Hebrew Dictionary
7200. ra'ah
ra'ah raw-aw'
a primitive root; to see, literally or figuratively (in numerous applications, direct and implied, transitive, intransitive and causative):--advise self, appear, approve, behold, X certainly, consider, discern, (make to) enjoy, have experience, gaze, take heed, X indeed, X joyfully, lo, look (on, one another, one on another, one upon another, out, up, upon), mark, meet, X be near, perceive, present, provide, regard, (have) respect, (fore-, cause to, let) see(-r, -m, one another), shew (self), X sight of others, (e-)spy, stare, X surely, X think, view, visions.'ah"
In addition, the English does not correct the Hebrew.
