Proverbs 23:19-35

Hear
<08085> (8798)

thou, my son
<01121>_,

and be wise
<02449> (8798)_,

and guide
<0833> (8761)

thine heart
<03820>

in the way
<01870>_.

Be not among winebibbers
<03196> <05433> (8802)_;

among riotous eaters
<02151> (8802)

of flesh
<01320>_:

{of flesh: Heb. of their flesh}

For the drunkard
<05433> (8802)

and the glutton
<02151> (8802)

shall come to poverty
<03423> (8735)_:

and drowsiness
<05124>

shall clothe
<03847> (8686)

[a man] with rags
<07168>_.

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto thy father
<01>

that begat
<03205> (8804)

thee, and despise
<0936> (8799)

not thy mother
<0517>

when she is old
<02204> (8804)_.

Buy
<07069> (8798)

the truth
<0571>_,

and sell
<04376> (8799)

[it] not; [also] wisdom
<02451>_,

and instruction
<04148>_,

and understanding
<0998>_.

The father
<01>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall greatly
<01524>

rejoice
<01523> (8799)_:

and he that begetteth
<03205> (8802)

a wise
<02450>

[child] shall have joy
<08055> (8799)

of him.

Thy father
<01>

and thy mother
<0517>

shall be glad
<08055> (8799)_,

and she that bare
<03205> (8802)

thee shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)_.

My son
<01121>_,

give
<05414> (8798)

me thine heart
<03820>_,

and let thine eyes
<05869>

observe
<07521> (8799) <05341> (8799)

my ways
<01870>_.

For a whore
<02181> (8802)

[is] a deep
<06013>

ditch
<07745>_;

and a strange woman
<05237>

[is] a narrow
<06862>

pit
<0875>_.

She also lieth in wait
<0693> (8799)

as [for] a prey
<02863>_,

and increaseth
<03254> (8686)

the transgressors
<0898> (8802)

among men
<0120>_.

{as for...: or, as a robber}

Who hath woe
<0188>_?

who hath sorrow
<017>_?

who hath contentions
<04079> (8675) <04066>_?

who hath babbling
<07879>_?

who hath wounds
<06482>

without cause
<02600>_?

who hath redness
<02448>

of eyes
<05869>_?

They that tarry long
<0309> (8764)

at the wine
<03196>_;

they that go
<0935> (8802)

to seek
<02713> (8800)

mixed wine
<04469>_.

Look
<07200> (8799)

not thou upon the wine
<03196>

when it is red
<0119> (8691)_,

when it giveth
<05414> (8799)

his colour
<05869>

in the cup
<03563> (8675) <03599>_,

[when] it moveth
<01980> (8691)

itself aright
<04339>_.

At the last
<0319>

it biteth
<05391> (8799)

like a serpent
<05175>_,

and stingeth
<06567> (8686)

like an adder
<06848>_.

{an...: or, a cockatrice}

Thine eyes
<05869>

shall behold
<07200> (8799)

strange women
<02114> (8801)_,

and thine heart
<03820>

shall utter
<01696> (8762)

perverse things
<08419>_.

Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down
<07901> (8802)

in the midst
<03820>

of the sea
<03220>_,

or as he that lieth
<07901> (8802)

upon the top
<07218>

of a mast
<02260>_.

{the midst...: Heb. the heart of the sea}

They have stricken
<05221> (8689)

me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick
<02470> (8804)_;

they have beaten
<01986> (8804)

me, [and] I felt
<03045> (8804)

[it] not: when shall I awake
<06974> (8686)_?

I will seek
<01245> (8762)

it yet
<03254> (8686)

again. {I felt...: Heb. I knew it not}
