Proverbes 23
XXIII ¶ When thou sittest to eate with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee. 2 And put a knife to thy throate, if thou be a man giuen to appetite. 3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitfull meate. 4 [fn]Labour not to bee rich: cease from thine owne wisedome. 5 [fn]Wilt thou set thine eyes vpon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselues wings, they fly away as an Eagle toward heauen. 6 Eate thou not the bread of him that hath an euill eye, neither desire thou his dainty meates. 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eate, and drinke, sayth he to thee, but his heart is not with thee. 8 The morsell which thou hast eaten, shalt thou vomite vp, and loose thy sweete words. 9 Speake not in the eares of a foole: for hee will despise the wisedome of thy words. 10 [fn][fn]Remoue not the old landmarke; and enter not into the fields of the fatherlesse. 11 [fn]For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee. 12 Apply thine heart vnto instruction, and thine eares to the words of knowledge. 13 [fn]Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14 Thou shalt beate him with the rod, and shalt deliuer his soule from hell. 15 [fn]My sonne, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall reioyce, euen mine. 16 Yea my reines shall reioyce, when thy lippes speake right things. 17 [fn]Let not thine heart enuy sinners, but be thou in the feare of the LORD all the day long. 18 [fn][fn]For surely there is an end, and thine expectation shall not be cut off. 19 Heare thou, my sonne, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. 20 [fn][fn]Be not amongst wine-bibbers; amongst riotous eaters of flesh. 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to pouerty; and drousinesse shall cloath a man with ragges. 22 [fn]Hearken vnto thy father that begate thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old. 23 Buy the trueth, and sell it not; also wisedome and instruction and vnderstanding. 24 [fn]The father of the righteous shall greatly reioyce: and he that begetteth a wise child, shall haue ioy of him. 25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall reioyce. 26 My sonne, giue me thine heart, and let thine eyes obserue my wayes. 27 [fn]For an whore is a deepe ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 28 [fn][fn]She also lyeth in wait as for a pray, and increaseth the transgressours among men. 29 [fn]Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath rednesse of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine, they that goe to seeke mixt wine. 31 Looke not thou vpon the wine when it is red, when it giueth his colour in the cup, when it moueth it selfe aright. 32 [fn]At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall vtter peruerse things. 34 [fn]Yea thou shalt be as he that lyeth downe in the midst of the sea, or as he that lyeth vpon the top of a mast. 35 [fn]They haue striken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sicke: they haue beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seeke it yet againe.
