Proverbs 23:1-11

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:

And put
<07760> (8804)

a knife
<07915>

to thy throat
<03930>_,

if thou [be] a man given
<01167>

to appetite
<05315>_.

Be not desirous
<0183> (8691)

of his dainties
<04303>_:

for they [are] deceitful
<03577>

meat
<03899>_.

Labour
<03021> (8799)

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

cease
<02308> (8798)

from thine own wisdom
<0998>_.

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}

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>_:

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.

The morsel
<06595>

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

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

and lose
<07843> (8765)

thy sweet
<05273>

words
<01697>_.

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>_.

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}

For their redeemer
<01350> (8802)

[is] mighty
<02389>_;

he shall plead
<07378> (8799)

their cause
<07379>

with thee.
