Proverbs 23
-
1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which
is before thee, -
2 And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou
art a man of appetite. -
3 Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it
is lying food. - 4 Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.
- 5 For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens.
- 6 Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties,
-
7 For as he hath thought in his soul, so
is he, `Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And his heart is not with thee. -
8 Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that
are sweet. - 9 In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words.
- 10 Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not,
-
11 For their Redeemer
is strong, He doth plead their cause with thee. - 12 Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to sayings of knowledge.
- 13 Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.
- 14 Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest.
- 15 My son, if thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth, even mine,
- 16 And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.
- 17 Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But--in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
- 18 For, is there a posterity? Then thy hope is not cut off.
- 19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And make happy in the way thy heart,
- 20 Be not thou among quaffers of wine, Among gluttonous ones of flesh,
- 21 For the quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness clotheth with rags.
- 22 Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she hath become old.
- 23 Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,
- 24 The father of the righteous rejoiceth greatly, The begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him.
- 25 Rejoice doth thy father and thy mother, Yea, she that bare thee is joyful.
- 26 Give, my son, thy heart to me, And let thine eyes watch my ways.
-
27 For a harlot
is a deep ditch, And a strange woman is a strait pit. - 28 She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.
- 29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? who hath plaint? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?
- 30 Those tarrying by the wine, Those going in to search out mixed wine.
- 31 See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.
- 32 Its latter end--as a serpent it biteth, And as a basilisk it stingeth.
- 33 Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.
- 34 And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the sea, And as one lying down on the top of a mast.
- 35 `They smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have not known. When I awake--I seek it yet again!'
