Proverbs 23
- 1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you:
- 2 And put a knife to your throat, if you be a man given to appetite.
- 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 on that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
- 6 Eat you not the bread of him that has an evil eye, neither desire you his dainty meats:
- 7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, says he to you; but his heart 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 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
- 11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with you.
- 12 Apply your heart 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 heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
- 16 Yes, my reins shall rejoice, when your lips speak right things.
- 17 Let not your heart envy sinners: but be you in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
- 18 For surely there is an end; and your expectation shall not be cut off.
- 19 Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart 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 that begat you, and despise not your mother when she is old.
- 23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
- 24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begets a wise child shall have joy of him.
- 25 Your father and your mother shall be glad, and she that bore you shall rejoice.
- 26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.
- 27 For a whore 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 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
- 31 Look not you on the wine when it is red, when it gives his color in the cup, when it moves itself aright.
- 32 At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.
- 33 Your eyes shall behold strange women, and your heart shall utter perverse things.
- 34 Yes, you shall be as he that lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he that lies on 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.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
