PRO-23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider
diligently what [is] before thee:
PRO-23:2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou [be] a man given
to appetite.
PRO-23:3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they [are]
deceitful meat.
PRO-23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
PRO-23:5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for
[riches] certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an
eagle toward heaven.
PRO-23:6 Eat thou not the bread of [him that hath] an evil eye,
neither desire thou his dainty meats:
PRO-23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and
drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.
PRO-23:8 The morsel [which] thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up,
and lose thy sweet words.
PRO-23:9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise
the wisdom of thy words.
PRO-23:10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the
fields of the fatherless:
PRO-23:11 For their redeemer [is] mighty; he shall plead their
cause with thee.
PRO-23:12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to
the words of knowledge.
PRO-23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou
beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
PRO-23:14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver
his soul from hell.
PRO-23:15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice,
even mine.
PRO-23:16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right
things.
PRO-23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but [be thou] in the
fear of the LORD all the day long.
PRO-23:18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation
shall not be cut off.
PRO-23:19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart
in the way.
PRO-23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of
flesh:
PRO-23:21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty:
and drowsiness shall clothe [a man] with rags.
PRO-23:22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise
not thy mother when she is old.
PRO-23:23 Buy the truth, and sell [it] not; [also] wisdom, and
instruction, and understanding.
PRO-23:24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and
he that begetteth a wise [child] shall have joy of him.
PRO-23:25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that
bare thee shall rejoice.
PRO-23:26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes
observe my ways.
PRO-23:27 For a whore [is] a deep ditch; and a strange woman
[is] a narrow pit.
PRO-23:28 She also lieth in wait as [for] a prey, and increaseth
the transgressors among men.
PRO-23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions?
who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath
redness of eyes?
PRO-23:30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek
mixed wine.
PRO-23:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it
giveth his colour in the cup, [when] it moveth itself aright.
PRO-23:32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth
like an adder.
PRO-23:33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart
shall utter perverse things.
PRO-23:34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst
of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
PRO-23:35 They have stricken me, [shalt thou 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.
