Proverbs 23:15 (KJV) King James Version

1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
1 When H3588 thou sittest H3427 to eat H3898 with H854 a ruler, H4910 consider diligently H995 H995 H853 what H834 is before H6440 thee:
2 And put H7760 a knife H7915 to thy throat, H3930 if H518 thou H859 be a man H1167 given to appetite. H5315
3 Be not H408 desirous H183 of his dainties: H4303 for they H1931 are deceitful H3577 meat. H3899
4 Labor H3021 not H408 to be rich: H6238 cease H2308 from H4480 thine own wisdom. H998
5 Wilt thou set H5774 thine eyes H5869 upon that which is not H369 ? for H3588 riches certainly make H6213 H6213 themselves wings; H3671 they fly away H5774 as an eagle H5404 toward heaven. H8064
6 Eat H3898 thou not H408 H853 the bread H3899 of him that hath an evil H7451 eye, H5869 neither H408 desire H183 thou his dainty meats: H4303
7 For H3588 as H3644 he thinketh H8176 in his heart, H5315 so H3651 is he: H1931 Eat H398 and drink, H8354 saith H559 he to thee ; but his heart H3820 is not H1077 with thee. H5973
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 in the ears H241 of a fool: H3684 for H3588 he will despise H936 the wisdom H7922 of thy words. H4405
10 Remove H5253 not H408 the old H5769 landmark; H1366 and enter H935 not H408 into the fields H7704 of the fatherless: H3490
11 For H3588 their redeemer H1350 is mighty; H2389 he H1931 shall plead H7378 H853 their cause H7379 with H854 thee.
12 Apply H935 thine heart H3820 unto instruction, H4148 and thine ears H241 to the words H561 of knowledge. H1847
13 Withhold H4513 not H408 correction H4148 from the child H4480 H5288 : for H3588 if thou beatest H5221 him with the rod, H7626 he shall not H3808 die. H4191
14 Thou H859 shalt beat H5221 him with the rod, H7626 and shalt deliver H5337 his soul H5315 from hell H4480 H7585 .
15 My son, H1121 if H518 thine heart H3820 be wise, H2449 my heart H3820 shall rejoice, H8055 even H1571 mine. H589
16 Yea , my reins H3629 shall rejoice, H5937 when thy lips H8193 speak H1696 right things. H4339
17 Let not H408 thine heart H3820 envy H7065 sinners: H2400 but H3588 be thou in the fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 all H3605 the day H3117 long.
18 For H3588 surely H518 there is H3426 an end; H319 and thine expectation H8615 shall not H3808 be cut off. H3772
19 Hear H8085 thou, H859 my son, H1121 and be wise, H2449 and guide H833 thine heart H3820 in the way. H1870
20 Be H1961 not H408 among winebibbers H5433 H3196 ; among riotous eaters H2151 of flesh: H1320
21 For H3588 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 unto thy father H1 that H2088 begot H3205 thee , and despise H936 not H408 thy mother H517 when H3588 she is old. H2204
23 Buy H7069 the truth, H571 and sell H4376 it not; H408 also wisdom, H2451 and instruction, H4148 and understanding. H998
24 The father H1 of the righteous H6662 shall greatly rejoice H1523 H1523 : and he that begetteth H3205 a wise H2450 child shall have joy H8055 of him.
25 Thy father H1 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 and let thine eyes H5869 observe H5341 my ways. H1870
27 For H3588 a whore H2181 is a deep H6013 ditch; H7745 and a strange H5237 woman is a narrow H6862 pit. H875
28 She H1931 also H637 lieth in wait H693 as for a prey, H2863 and increaseth H3254 the transgressors H898 among men. H120
29 Who H4310 hath woe H188 ? who H4310 hath sorrow H17 ? who H4310 hath contentions H4079 ? who H4310 hath babbling H7879 ? who H4310 hath wounds H6482 without cause H2600 ? who H4310 hath redness H2448 of eyes H5869 ?
30 They that tarry long H309 at H5921 the wine; H3196 they that go H935 to seek H2713 mixed wine. H4469
31 Look H7200 not H408 thou upon the wine H3196 when H3588 it is red, H119 when H3588 it giveth H5414 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 shall behold H7200 strange women, H2114 and thine heart H3820 shall utter H1696 perverse things. H8419
34 Yea , thou shalt be H1961 as he that lieth down H7901 in the midst H3820 of the sea, H3220 or as he that lieth H7901 upon the top H7218 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 when H4970 shall I awake H6974 ? I will seek H1245 it yet H3254 again. H5750
