1 When H3588 CONJ thou sittest H3427 to eat H3898 with H854 PREP a ruler H4910 , consider diligently H995 what H834 RPRO is before H6440 thee :
2 And put H7760 a knife H7915 to thy throat H3930 , if H518 PART thou H859 PPRO-2MS be a man H1167 CMS given to appetite H5315 GFS .
3 Be not H408 NPAR desirous H183 of his dainties H4303 : for they H1931 W-PPRO-3MS are deceitful H3577 meat H3899 NMS .
4 Labor H3021 not H408 NPAR to be rich H6238 : cease H2308 from H4480 thine own wisdom H998 .
5 Wilt thou set H5774 thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS upon that which is not H369 W-ADV-3MS ? for H3588 CONJ riches certainly make H6213 themselves wings H3671 ; they fly away H5774 as an eagle H5404 K-NMS toward heaven H8064 D-AMD .
6 Eat H3898 thou not H408 NPAR the bread H3899 NMS of him that hath an evil H7451 AMS eye H5869 NMS , neither H408 ADV desire H183 thou his dainty meats H4303 :
7 For H3588 CONJ as H3644 PREP he thinketh H8176 in his heart H5315 B-GFS-3MS , so H3651 is he H1931 PPRO-3MS : Eat H398 and drink H8354 , saith H559 VQY3MS he to thee ; but his heart H3820 is not H1077 ADV with thee H5973 PREP-2FS .
8 The morsel H6595 which thou hast eaten H398 shalt thou vomit up H6958 , and lose H7843 thy sweet H5273 words H1697 .
9 Speak H1696 not H408 NPAR in the ears H241 of a fool H3684 : for H3588 CONJ he will despise H936 the wisdom H7922 of thy words H4405 .
10 Remove H5253 not H408 NPAR the old H5769 NMS landmark H1366 CMS ; and enter H935 not H408 NPAR into the fields H7704 of the fatherless H3490 NMP :
11 For H3588 CONJ their redeemer H1350 is mighty H2389 AMS ; he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall plead H7378 VQY3MS their cause H7379 with H854 PART-2FS thee .
12 Apply H935 thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS unto instruction H4148 LD-NMS , and thine ears H241 to the words H561 of knowledge H1847 NFS .
13 Withhold H4513 not H408 NPAR correction H4148 from the child H5288 : for H3588 CONJ if thou beatest H5221 him with the rod H7626 , he shall not H3808 NADV die H4191 .
14 Thou H859 PPRO-2MS shalt beat H5221 him with the rod H7626 , and shalt deliver H5337 his soul H5315 W-CFS-3MS from hell H7585 M-NMS .
15 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , if H518 PART thine heart H3820 NMS-1MS be wise H2449 , my heart H3820 NMS-1MS shall rejoice H8055 , even H1571 CONJ mine H589 PPRO-1MS .
16 Yea , my reins H3629 shall rejoice H5937 , when thy lips H8193 speak H1696 right things H4339 .
17 Let not H408 NPAR thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS envy H7065 sinners H2400 : but H3588 CONJ be thou in the fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 EDS all H3605 NMS the day H3117 D-NMS long .
18 For H3588 CONJ surely H518 PART there is H3426 PART an end H319 CFS ; and thine expectation H8615 shall not H3808 NADV be cut off H3772 .
19 Hear H8085 VQI2MS thou H859 PPRO-2MS , my son H1121 , and be wise H2449 , and guide H833 thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS in the way H1870 .
20 Be H1961 VQI3FS not H408 NPAR among winebibbers H5433 ; among riotous eaters H2151 of flesh H1320 NMS :
21 For H3588 CONJ the drunkard H5433 and the glutton H2151 shall come to poverty H3423 : and drowsiness H5124 shall clothe H3847 a man with rags H7168 .
22 Hearken H8085 VQI2MS unto thy father H1 that H2088 DPRO begot H3205 thee , and despise H936 not H408 W-NPAR thy mother H517 CFS-2MS when H3588 CONJ she is old H2204 .
23 Buy H7069 the truth H571 CFS , and sell H4376 it not H408 W-NPAR ; also wisdom H2451 NFS , and instruction H4148 W-NMS , and understanding H998 .
24 The father H1 CMS-1MS of the righteous H6662 AMS shall greatly rejoice H1523 : and he that begetteth H3205 a wise H2450 AMS child shall have joy H8055 of him .
25 Thy father H1 NMS and thy mother H517 shall be glad H8055 , and she that bore H3205 thee shall rejoice H1523 .
26 My son H1121 , give H5414 me thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS , and let thine eyes H5869 observe H5341 my ways H1870 NMP-1MS .
27 For H3588 CONJ a whore H2181 is a deep H6013 AFS ditch H7745 ; and a strange H5237 woman is a narrow H6862 pit H875 .
28 She H1931 PPRO-3FS also H637 CONJ lieth in wait H693 as for a prey H2863 , and increaseth H3254 the transgressors H898 among men H120 .
29 Who H4310 L-IPRO hath woe H188 ? who H4310 L-IPRO hath sorrow H17 ? who H4310 L-IPRO hath contentions H4079 ? who H4310 L-IPRO hath babbling H7879 ? who H4310 L-IPRO hath wounds H6482 without cause H2600 ADV ? who H4310 L-IPRO hath redness H2448 of eyes H5869 ?
30 They that tarry long H309 at H5921 PREP the wine H3196 ; they that go H935 to seek H2713 mixed wine H4469 .
31 Look H7200 not H408 NPAR thou upon the wine H3196 NMS when H3588 CONJ it is red H119 , when H3588 CONJ it giveth H5414 VHFA his color H5869 in the cup H3563 , when it moveth itself H1980 aright H4339 .
32 At the last H319 it biteth H5391 like a serpent H5175 , and stingeth H6567 like an adder H6848 .
33 Thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS shall behold H7200 VQY3MP strange women H2114 , and thine heart H3820 shall utter H1696 VPY3MS perverse things H8419 .
34 Yea , thou shalt be H1961 W-VQQ2MS as he that lieth down H7901 in the midst H3820 of the sea H3220 NMS , or as he that lieth H7901 upon the top H7218 B-NMS of a mast H2260 .
35 They have stricken H5221 me , shalt thou say , and I was not H1077 sick H2470 ; they have beaten H1986 me , and I felt H3045 it not H1077 ADV : when H4970 IGAT shall I awake H6974 ? I will seek H1245 it yet H3254 VHY1MS again H5750 ADV .
