dby@Proverbs:23:1 @ When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider well who is before thee;

dby@Proverbs:23:6 @ Eat thou not the food of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties.

dby@Proverbs:23:7 @ For as he thinketh in his soul, so is he. Eat and drink! will he say unto thee; but his heart is not with thee.

dby@Proverbs:23:8 @ Thy morsel which thou hast eaten must thou vomit up, and thou wilt have wasted thy sweet words.

dby@Proverbs:23:9 @ Speak not in the ears of a foolish [man], for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

dby@Proverbs:23:13 @ Withhold not correction from the child; for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die:

dby@Proverbs:23:25 @ let thy father and thy mother have joy, and let her that bore thee rejoice.

dby@Proverbs:23:26 @ My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

dby@Proverbs:23:33 @ Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall speak froward things;

dby@Proverbs:23:34 @ and thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, and as he that lieth down upon the top of a mast:

dby@Proverbs:23:35 @ -- ''They have smitten me, [and] I am not sore; they have beaten me, [and] I knew it not. When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.''

dby@Proverbs:24:1 @ Be not thou envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;

dby@Proverbs:24:2 @ for their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
