Proverbs 23:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 When you sit down to dine with a ruler, keep in mind who is before you;
2 And put a knife to your throat if you have a ravenous appetite.
3 Do not desire his delicacies; they are deceitful food.
4 Toil not to gain wealth, cease to be concerned about it;
5 While your glance flits to it, it is gone! for assuredly it grows wings, like the eagle that flies toward heaven.
6 Do not take food with a grudging man, and do not desire his dainties;
7 For in his greed he is like a storm. "Eat and drink," he says to you, though his heart is not with you;
8 The little you have eaten you will vomit up, and you will have wasted your agreeable words.
9 Speak not for the fool's hearing; he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Remove not the ancient landmark, nor invade the fields of orphans;
11 For their redeemer is strong; he will defend their cause against you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge.
13 Withhold not chastisement from a boy; if you beat him with the rod, he will not die.
14 Beat him with the rod, and you will save him from the nether world.
15 My son, if your heart be wise, my own heart also will rejoice;
16 And my inmost being will exult, when your lips speak what is right.
17 Let not your heart emulate sinners, but be zealous for the fear of the LORD always;
18 For you will surely have a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
19 Hear, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the right way.
20 Consort not with winebibbers, nor with those who eat meat to excess;
21 For the drunkard and the glutton come to poverty, and torpor clothes a man in rags.
22 Listen to your father who begot you, and despise not your mother when she is old.
23 Get the truth, and sell it not-- wisdom, instruction and understanding.
24 The father of a just man will exult with glee; he who begets a wise son will have joy in him.
25 Let your father and mother have joy; let her who bore you exult.
26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes keep to my ways.
27 For the harlot is a deep ditch, and the adulteress a narrow pit;
28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the faithless among men.
29 Who scream? Who shriek? Who have strife? Who have anxiety? Who have wounds for nothing? Who have black eyes?
30 Those who linger long over wine, those who engage in trials of blended wine.
31 Look not on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the glass. It goes down smoothly;
32 but in the end it bites like a serpent, or like a poisonous adder.
33 Your eyes behold strange sights, and your heart utters disordered thoughts;
34 You are like one now lying in the depths of the sea, now sprawled at the top of the mast.
35 "They struck me, but it pained me not; They beat me, but I felt it not; When shall I awake to seek wine once again?"
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 .
