23 When you sit to eat with a ruler,
consider carefully what is before your face,
2 and you should put a knife at your throat
if you are an owner of appetite.
3 Do not desire his delicious morsels;
for it is bread of lies.
4 Do not weary yourself to gain riches;
from your understanding cease.
5 Will you cause your eyes to fly to it, but it is not there?
For making, it will make wings for itself;
like an eagle it will fly into the sky.
6 Do not eat the bread of one evil of eye,
and do not desire his delicious morsels.
7 For like one who calculates in his soul, so he is.
“Eat and drink!” he will say to you,
but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up your morsel you ate,
and you will ruin your pleasant words.
9 Do not speak in the ears of a stupid one,
for he will show contempt for the insight of your words.
10 Do not move an ancient boundary,
and do not enter into the fields of fatherless ones,
11 for their redeemer is strong;
he himself will plead their dispute against you.
12 Bring your heart to correction
and your ear to words of knowledge.
13 Do not withhold discipline from a boy;
when you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
14 You shall strike him with the rod
and you will rescue his life from Sheol.
15 My son, if your heart is wise,
my heart, even myself, will be glad,
16 and my inner parts will exult,
when your lips speak upright things.
17 Do not let your heart be envious of sinners,
but rather in the fear of Yahweh all the day.
18 Surely there is a future
and your hope will not be cut off.
19 Listen, you my son, and be wise,
and lead your heart in the way.
20 Do not be among drinkers of much wine,
among gluttonous eaters of flesh for themselves.
21 For one who drinks much and one who eats gluttonously will become poor,
and slumber will clothe with rags.
22 Listen to your father, this one begot you,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 Acquire truth and do not sell,
wisdom and instruction and understanding.
24 The father of a righteous one, rejoicing, will rejoice,
and one who begets a wise one, he will be glad in him.
25 May your father and your mother be glad,
and may she who bore you rejoice.
26 My son, give your heart to me,
and may your eyes watch[fn] my ways.
27 For a prostitute is a deep pit,
and a foreign woman is a narrow well.
28 Surely she herself lies in wait like a robber,
and she adds to the treacherous ones among man.
29 For whom is woe? For whom is sorrow? For whom are quarrels?
For whom is a lament? For whom are wounds without reason?
For whom is dullness of eyes?
30 For those who linger over wine,
for those coming to search out mixed wine.
31 Do not look at wine when it is red,
when its eye gives in the cup,
it goes with evenness.
32 Its end bites like a snake,
and it stings like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
and your heart will speak perverse things.
34 And you will be like one who lies down in the heart of the sea
and like one who lies down at the head of a mast.
35 “They struck me. I was not hurt.
They beat me. I did not know.
When will I awake? I will add, I will seek it again.”
Instead of watch some manuscripts have desire.
