KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
You don't patch up old clothes with brand new fabric, because when you wash it, the new piece will shrink and pull away from the old material, making the tear even bigger than before.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Some things can't be fixed with quick patches — sometimes you need something completely new.
