Chapter 23
-
While dining with a ruler, pay attention to what is put before you.
-
If you are a big eater, put a knife to your throat;
-
don't desire all the delicacies, for he might be trying to trick you.
-
Don't wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit.
-
In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.
-
Don't eat with people who are stingy; don't desire their delicacies.
-
They are always thinking about how much it costs. "Eat and drink," they say, but they don't mean it.
-
You will throw up what little you've eaten, and your compliments will be wasted.
-
Don't waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice.
-
Don't cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers; don't take the land of defenseless orphans.
-
For their Redeemer is strong; he himself will bring their charges against you.
-
Commit yourself to instruction; listen carefully to words of knowledge.
-
Don't fail to discipline your children. The rod of punishment won't kill them.
-
Physical discipline may well save them from death.
-
My child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice!
-
Everything in me will celebrate when you speak what is right.
-
Don't envy sinners, but always continue to fear the LORD.
-
You will be rewarded for this; your hope will not be disappointed.
-
My child, listen and be wise: Keep your heart on the right course.
-
Do not carouse with drunkards or feast with gluttons,
-
for they are on their way to poverty, and too much sleep clothes them in rags.
-
Listen to your father, who gave you life, and don't despise your mother when she is old.
-
Get the truth and never sell it; also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.
-
The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise.
-
So give your father and mother joy! May she who gave you birth be happy.
-
O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.
-
A prostitute is a dangerous trap; a promiscuous woman is as dangerous as falling into a narrow well.
-
She hides and waits like a robber, eager to make more men unfaithful.
-
Who has anguish? Who has sorrow? Who is always fighting? Who is always complaining? Who has unnecessary bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
-
It is the one who spends long hours in the taverns, trying out new drinks.
-
Don't gaze at the wine, seeing how red it is, how it sparkles in the cup, how smoothly it goes down.
-
For in the end it bites like a poisonous snake; it stings like a viper.
-
You will see hallucinations, and you will say crazy things.
-
You will stagger like a sailor tossed at sea, clinging to a swaying mast.
-
And you will say, "They hit me, but I didn't feel it. I didn't even know it when they beat me up. When will I wake up so I can look for another drink?"
