1
When
you sit down
to dine
with a ruler,
Consider
carefully
what
is before
you,
2
And put
a knife
to your throat
If
you are a man
of great appetite.
3
Do not desire
his delicacies,
For it is deceptive
food.
4
Do not weary
yourself to gain wealth,
Cease
from your consideration
of it.
5
When you set
your eyes
on it, it is gone.
For wealth certainly
makes
itself wings
Like an eagle
that flies
toward the heavens.
6
Do not eat
the bread
of a selfish
man,
Or desire
his delicacies;
7
For as he thinks
within himself,
so
he is. He says
to you, "Eat
and drink!"
But his heart
is not with you.
8
You will vomit
up the morsel
you have eaten,
And waste
your compliments.
9
Do not speak
in the hearing
of a fool,
For he will despise
the wisdom
of your words.
10
Do not move
the ancient
boundary
Or go
into the fields
of the fatherless,
11
For their Redeemer
is strong;
He will plead
their case
against
you.
12
Apply
your heart
to discipline
And your ears
to words
of knowledge.
13
Do not hold back
discipline
from the child,
Although
you strike
him with the rod,
he will not die.
14
You shall strike
him with the rod
And rescue
his soul
from Sheol.
15
My son,
if
your heart
is wise,
My own heart
also
will be glad;
16
And my inmost being
will rejoice
When your lips
speak
what is right.
17
Do not let your heart
envy
sinners,
But live in the fear
of the LORD
always.
18
Surely
there
is a future,
And your hope
will not be cut off.
19
Listen,
my son,
and be wise,
And direct
your heart
in the way.
20
Do not be with heavy drinkers
of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters
of meat;
21
For the heavy drinker
and the glutton
will come to poverty,
And drowsiness
will clothe
one with rags.
22
Listen
to your father
who begot
you, And do not despise
your mother
when
she is old.
23
Buy
truth,
and do not sell
it, Get wisdom
and instruction
and understanding.
24
The father
of the righteous
will greatly
rejoice,
And he who sires
a wise son
will be glad
in him.
25
Let your father
and your mother
be glad,
And let her rejoice
who gave birth
to you.
26
Give
me your heart,
my son,
And let your eyes
delight
in my ways.
27
For a harlot
is a deep
pit
And an adulterous woman
is a narrow
well.
28
Surely
she lurks
as a robber,
And increases
the faithless
among men.
29
Who
has woe?
Who
has sorrow?
Who
has contentions?
Who
has complaining?
Who
has wounds
without cause?
Who
has redness
of eyes?
30
Those who linger
long over
wine,
Those who go
to taste
mixed wine.
31
Do not look
on the wine
when
it is red,
When
it sparkles
in the cup,
When
it goes down
smoothly;
32
At the last
it bites
like a serpent
And stings
like a viper.
33
Your eyes
will see
strange things
And your mind
will utter
perverse things.
34
And you will be like one who lies
down
in the middle
of the sea,
Or like one who lies
down
on the top
of a mast.
35
"They struck
me, but I did not become ill;
They beat
me, but I did not know
it. When
shall I awake?
I will seek
another
drink."
