Proverbs:23:1-24:22

updv@Proverbs:23:1 @ When you sit to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently him who is before you;

updv@Proverbs:23:2 @ And put a knife to your throat, If you are a man given to appetite.

updv@Proverbs:23:3 @ Don't be desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food.

updv@Proverbs:23:4 @ Don't weary yourself to be rich; Cease from your own wisdom.

updv@Proverbs:23:5 @ Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For [riches] certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flies toward heaven.

updv@Proverbs:23:6 @ Don't eat the bread of him who has an evil eye, Neither desire his dainties:

updv@Proverbs:23:7 @ For as he thinks inside himself, so he is: Eat and drink, he says to you; But his heart is not with you.

updv@Proverbs:23:8 @ The morsel which you have eaten you will vomit up, And lose your sweet words.

updv@Proverbs:23:9 @ Don't speak in the hearing of a fool; For he will despise the wisdom of your words.

updv@Proverbs:23:10 @ Don't remove the ancient landmark; And don't enter into the fields of the fatherless:

updv@Proverbs:23:11 @ For their Redeemer is strong; He will plead their cause against you.

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

updv@Proverbs:23:13 @ Don't withhold correction from the child; [For] if you beat him with the rod, he will not die.

updv@Proverbs:23:14 @ You will beat him with the rod, And will deliver his soul from Sheol.

updv@Proverbs:23:15 @ My son, if your heart be wise, My heart will be glad, even mine:

updv@Proverbs:23:16 @ Yes, my heart will rejoice, When your lips speak right things.

updv@Proverbs:23:17 @ Don't let your heart envy sinners; But [be] in the fear of Yahweh all the day long:

updv@Proverbs:23:18 @ For surely there is a reward; And your hope will not be cut off.

updv@Proverbs:23:19 @ Hear, my son, and be wise, And guide your heart in the way.

updv@Proverbs:23:20 @ Don't be among winebibbers, Among gluttonous eaters of flesh:

updv@Proverbs:23:21 @ For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty; And drowsiness will clothe [a man] with rags.

updv@Proverbs:23:22 @ Listen to your father who begot you, And don't despise your mother when she is old.

updv@Proverbs:23:23 @ Buy the truth, and don't sell it; [Yes], wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

updv@Proverbs:23:24 @ The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; And he who begets a wise child will have joy of him.

updv@Proverbs:23:25 @ Let your father and your mother be glad, And let her who bore you rejoice.

updv@Proverbs:23:26 @ My son, give me your heart; And let your eyes delight in my ways.

updv@Proverbs:23:27 @ For a prostitute is a deep ditch; And a foreign woman is a narrow pit.

updv@Proverbs:23:28 @ Yes, she lies in wait as a robber, And increases the betrayers among man.

updv@Proverbs:23:29 @ Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?

updv@Proverbs:23:30 @ Those who tarry long at the wine; Those who go to seek out mixed wine.

updv@Proverbs:23:31 @ Don't look on the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, When it goes down smoothly:

updv@Proverbs:23:32 @ At the last it bites like a serpent, And stings like an adder.

updv@Proverbs:23:33 @ Your eyes will see strange things, And your heart will utter perverse things.

updv@Proverbs:23:34 @ Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea, Or as he who lies on the top of a mast.

updv@Proverbs:23:35 @ They have stricken me, [you will say], and I was not hurt; They have beaten me, and I did not feel it: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

updv@Proverbs:24:1 @ Don't be envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:

updv@Proverbs:24:2 @ For their heart studies oppression, And their lips talk of mischief.

updv@Proverbs:24:3 @ Through wisdom is a house built; And by understanding it is established;

updv@Proverbs:24:4 @ And by knowledge are the chambers filled With all precious and pleasant riches.

updv@Proverbs:24:5 @ A wise [noble] man is strong; Yes, a man of knowledge increases might

updv@Proverbs:24:6 @ For by wise guidance you will make your war; And in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

updv@Proverbs:24:7 @ Wisdom is too high for a fool: He does not open his mouth in the gate.

updv@Proverbs:24:8 @ He who devises to do evil, Men will call him a mischief-maker.

updv@Proverbs:24:9 @ The thought of foolishness is sin; And the scoffer is disgusting to man.

updv@Proverbs:24:10 @ If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.

updv@Proverbs:24:11 @ Deliver those who are carried away to death, And see that you hold back those who are ready to be slain.

updv@Proverbs:24:12 @ If you say, Look, we did not know this; Does not he who weighs the hearts consider it? And he who keeps your soul, does he not know it? And will he not render to man according to his work?

updv@Proverbs:24:13 @ My son, eat honey, for it is good; And the drippings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste:

updv@Proverbs:24:14 @ So you will know wisdom to be to your soul; If you have found it, then there will be a reward, And your hope will not be cut off.

updv@Proverbs:24:15 @ Don't lay in wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Don't destroy his resting-place:

updv@Proverbs:24:16 @ For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

updv@Proverbs:24:17 @ Don't rejoice when your enemy falls, And don't let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;

updv@Proverbs:24:18 @ Or else Yahweh will see it, and it will be evil in his eyes, And he will turn away his wrath from him.

updv@Proverbs:24:19 @ Don't fret yourself because of evildoers; Neither be envious at the wicked:

updv@Proverbs:24:20 @ For there will be no reward to the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.

updv@Proverbs:24:21 @ My son, fear Yahweh and the king; [And] don't company with those who are given to change:

updv@Proverbs:24:22 @ For their calamity will rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knows it?
