Proverbs Chapter 23

 

1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you:
2 you have put a knife to your throat if you be a man given to yourself.
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4 Labor not to be rich: cease from your own wisdom.
5 Will you set your eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6 Don't eat not the bread of him who has an evil eye, neither desire you his dainty meats:
7 For as he thinks in his mind, so is he: Eat and drink, says he to you; but his mind is not with you.
8 The morsel which you have eaten shall you vomit up, and lose your sweet words.
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Do not remove the Kingdom landmark, and don't enter into the fields of the fatherless:
11 For their Redeemer is mighty; He shall plead their cause with you.
12 Apply your mind to instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if you beat him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 You shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from hell.
15 My son, if your mind is wise, my mind shall rejoice, even mine.
16 Yes, my conscience shall rejoice, when your lips speak right things.
17 Don't let your mind envy sinners: but be in the reverence of Jehovah all the day long.
18 For surely there is an end; and your hope shall not be cut off.
19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and guide your mind in the way.
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22 Listen to your father who fathered you, and despise not your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and don't sell it--also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he who begets a wise child shall have joy of him.
25 your father and your mother shall be glad, and she who gave birth to you shall rejoice.
26 My son, give me your mind, and let your eyes observe my ways.
27 For a sexually loose woman is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28 She also lies in wait as for a prey, and increases the transgressors among men.
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has babbling? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?
30 Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not you upon the wine when it is red, when it gives his color in the cup, when it moves smoothly.
32 At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.
33 your eyes shall regard strange women, and your mind shall utter willful things.
34 Yes, you shall be as he who lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he who lies upon the top of a mast.
35 They have stricken me, shall you say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
