Proverbs 22:17--23:11

22:17

Bow down
<05186> (8685)

thine ear
<0241>_,

and hear
<08085> (8798)

the words
<01697>

of the wise
<02450>_,

and apply
<07896> (8799)

thine heart
<03820>

unto my knowledge
<01847>_.

22:18

For [it is] a pleasant thing
<05273>

if thou keep
<08104> (8799)

them within
<0990>

thee; they shall withal
<03162>

be fitted
<03559> (8735)

in thy lips
<08193>_.

{within...: Heb. in thy belly}

22:19

That thy trust
<04009>

may be in the LORD
<03068>_,

I have made known
<03045> (8689)

to thee this day
<03117>_,

even to thee. {even...: or, trust thou also}

22:20

Have not I written
<03789> (8804)

to thee
<08032>

excellent things
<07991>

in counsels
<04156>

and knowledge
<01847>_,

22:21

That I might make thee know
<03045> (8687)

the certainty
<07189>

of the words
<0561>

of truth
<0571>_;

that thou mightest answer
<07725> (8687)

the words
<0561>

of truth
<0571>

to them that send
<07971> (8802)

unto thee? {to them...: or, to those that send thee?}

22:22

Rob
<01497> (8799)

not the poor
<01800>_,

because he [is] poor
<01800>_:

neither oppress
<01792> (8762)

the afflicted
<06041>

in the gate
<08179>_:

22:23

For the LORD
<03068>

will plead
<07378> (8799)

their cause
<07379>_,

and spoil
<06906> (8804)

the soul
<05315>

of those that spoiled
<06906> (8802)

them.

22:24

Make no friendship
<07462> (8691)

with an angry
<0639>

man
<01167>_;

and with a furious
<02534>

man
<0376>

thou shalt not go
<0935> (8799)_:

22:25

Lest thou learn
<0502> (8799)

his ways
<0734>_,

and get
<03947> (8804)

a snare
<04170>

to thy soul
<05315>_.

22:26

Be not thou [one] of them that strike
<08628> (8802)

hands
<03709>_,

[or] of them that are sureties
<06148> (8802)

for debts
<04859>_.

22:27

If thou hast nothing to pay
<07999> (8763)_,

why should he take away
<03947> (8799)

thy bed
<04904>

from under thee?

22:28

Remove
<05253> (8686)

not the ancient
<05769>

landmark
<01366>_,

which thy fathers
<01>

have set
<06213> (8804)_.

{landmark: or, bound}

22:29

Seest
<02372> (8804)

thou a man
<0376>

diligent
<04106>

in his business
<04399>_?

he shall stand
<03320> (8691)

before
<06440>

kings
<04428>_;

he shall not stand
<03320> (8691)

before
<06440>

mean
<02823>

[men]. {mean...: Heb. obscure men}

23:1

When thou sittest
<03427> (8799)

to eat
<03898> (8800)

with a ruler
<04910> (8802)_,

consider
<0995> (8799)

diligently
<0995> (8800)

what [is] before
<06440>

thee:

23:2

And put
<07760> (8804)

a knife
<07915>

to thy throat
<03930>_,

if thou [be] a man given
<01167>

to appetite
<05315>_.

23:3

Be not desirous
<0183> (8691)

of his dainties
<04303>_:

for they [are] deceitful
<03577>

meat
<03899>_.

23:4

Labour
<03021> (8799)

not to be rich
<06238> (8687)_:

cease
<02308> (8798)

from thine own wisdom
<0998>_.

23:5

Wilt thou set
<05774> (8686) (8675) <05774> (8799)

thine eyes
<05869>

upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly
<06213> (8800)

make
<06213> (8799)

themselves wings
<03671>_;

they fly away
<05774> (8799) (8675) <05774> (8687)

as an eagle
<05404>

toward heaven
<08064>_.

{set...: Heb. cause thine eyes to fly upon}

23:6

Eat
<03898> (8799)

thou not the bread
<03899>

of [him that hath] an evil
<07451>

eye
<05869>_,

neither desire
<0183> (8691)

thou his dainty meats
<04303>_:

23:7

For as he thinketh
<08176> (8804)

in his heart
<05315>_,

so [is] he: Eat
<0398> (8798)

and drink
<08354> (8798)_,

saith
<0559> (8799)

he to thee; but his heart
<03820>

[is] not with thee.

23:8

The morsel
<06595>

[which] thou hast eaten
<0398> (8804)

shalt thou vomit up
<06958> (8686)_,

and lose
<07843> (8765)

thy sweet
<05273>

words
<01697>_.

23:9

Speak
<01696> (8762)

not in the ears
<0241>

of a fool
<03684>_:

for he will despise
<0936> (8799)

the wisdom
<07922>

of thy words
<04405>_.

23:10

Remove
<05253> (8686)

not the old
<05769>

landmark
<01366>_;

and enter
<0935> (8799)

not into the fields
<07704>

of the fatherless
<03490>_:

{landmark: or, bound}

23:11

For their redeemer
<01350> (8802)

[is] mighty
<02389>_;

he shall plead
<07378> (8799)

their cause
<07379>

with thee.
