ylt@Proverbs:23:1 @When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which [is] before thee,

ylt@Proverbs:23:2 @And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a man of appetite.

ylt@Proverbs:23:3 @Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it [is] lying food.

ylt@Proverbs:23:4 @Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.

ylt@Proverbs:23:5 @For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens.

ylt@Proverbs:23:6 @Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties,

ylt@Proverbs:23:7 @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.

ylt@Proverbs:23:8 @Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that [are] sweet.

ylt@Proverbs:23:9 @In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words.

ylt@Proverbs:23:10 @Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not,

ylt@Proverbs:23:11 @For their Redeemer [is] strong, He doth plead their cause with thee.

ylt@Proverbs:23:12 @Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to sayings of knowledge.

ylt@Proverbs:23:13 @Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.

ylt@Proverbs:23:14 @Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest.

ylt@Proverbs:23:15 @My son, if thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth, even mine,

ylt@Proverbs:23:16 @And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.

ylt@Proverbs:23:17 @Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But -- in the fear of Jehovah all the day.

ylt@Proverbs:23:18 @For, is there a posterity? Then thy hope is not cut off.

ylt@Proverbs:23:19 @Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And make happy in the way thy heart,

ylt@Proverbs:23:20 @Be not thou among quaffers of wine, Among gluttonous ones of flesh,

ylt@Proverbs:23:21 @For the quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness clotheth with rags.

ylt@Proverbs:23:22 @Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she hath become old.

ylt@Proverbs:23:23 @Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,

ylt@Proverbs:23:24 @The father of the righteous rejoiceth greatly, The begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him.

ylt@Proverbs:23:25 @Rejoice doth thy father and thy mother, Yea, she that bare thee is joyful.

ylt@Proverbs:23:26 @Give, my son, thy heart to me, And let thine eyes watch my ways.

ylt@Proverbs:23:27 @For a harlot [is] a deep ditch, And a strange woman [is] a strait pit.

ylt@Proverbs:23:28 @She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.

ylt@Proverbs:23:29 @Who hath wo? who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? who hath plaint? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?

ylt@Proverbs:23:30 @Those tarrying by the wine, Those going in to search out mixed wine.

ylt@Proverbs:23:31 @See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.

ylt@Proverbs:23:32 @Its latter end -- as a serpent it biteth, And as a basilisk it stingeth.

ylt@Proverbs:23:33 @Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.

ylt@Proverbs:23:34 @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.

ylt@Proverbs:23:35 @'They smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have not known. When I awake -- I seek it yet again!'
