web@Proverbs:23:6 @ Don't eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don't crave his delicacies:
web@Proverbs:23:7 @ for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
web@Proverbs:23:8 @ The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, and lose your good words.
web@Proverbs:23:9 @ Don't speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
web@Proverbs:23:10 @ Don't move the ancient boundary stone. Don't encroach on the fields of the fatherless:

web@Proverbs:23:12 @ Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.

web@Proverbs:23:19 @ Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path!
web@Proverbs:23:20 @ Don't be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat:
web@Proverbs:23:21 @ for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
web@Proverbs:23:22 @ Listen to your father who gave you life, and don't despise your mother when she is old.

web@Proverbs:23:24 @ The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
web@Proverbs:23:25 @ Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!
web@Proverbs:23:26 @ My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.
web@Proverbs:23:27 @ For a prostitute is a deep pit; and a wayward wife is a narrow well.

web@Proverbs:23:29 @ Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
web@Proverbs:23:30 @ Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek out mixed wine.
web@Proverbs:23:31 @ Don't look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.
web@Proverbs:23:32 @ In the end, it bites like a snake, and poisons like a viper.
web@Proverbs:23:33 @ Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
web@Proverbs:23:34 @ Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging:
web@Proverbs:23:35 @ "They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don't feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another."
web@Proverbs:24:1 @ Don't be envious of evil men; neither desire to be with them:
web@Proverbs:24:2 @ for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about mischief.
web@Proverbs:24:3 @ Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
web@Proverbs:24:4 @ by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
web@Proverbs:24:5 @ A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;
web@Proverbs:24:6 @ for by wise guidance you wage your war; and victory is in many advisors.
web@Proverbs:24:7 @ Wisdom is too high for a fool: he doesn't open his mouth in the gate.
web@Proverbs:24:8 @ One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
web@Proverbs:24:9 @ The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
web@Proverbs:24:10 @ If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
web@Proverbs:24:11 @ Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
web@Proverbs:24:12 @ If you say, "Behold, we didn't know this"; doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
web@Proverbs:24:13 @ My son, eat honey, for it is good; the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste:
web@Proverbs:24:14 @ so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul; if you have found it, then there will be a reward, your hope will not be cut off.
web@Proverbs:24:15 @ Don't lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don't destroy his resting place:
web@Proverbs:24:16 @ for a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
web@Proverbs:24:17 @ Don't rejoice when your enemy falls. Don't let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
web@Proverbs:24:18 @ lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
web@Proverbs:24:19 @ Don't fret yourself because of evildoers; neither be envious of the wicked:
web@Proverbs:24:20 @ for there will be no reward to the evil man; and the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out.
web@Proverbs:24:21 @ My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don't join those who are rebellious:
web@Proverbs:24:22 @ for their calamity will rise suddenly; the destruction from them both--who knows?
