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