And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made.

And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.

Και ουδεις βαλλει επιρραμμα αγναφου πανιου επι ιματιον παλαιον· διοτι αφαιρει το αναπληρωμα αυτου απο του ιματιου, και γινεται σχισμα χειροτερον.

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
