20:023:006 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 20:023:007 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 20:023:008 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. 20:023:009 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. 20:023:010 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: 20:023:011 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee. 20:023:012 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. 20:023:013 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 20:023:014 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. 20:023:015 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. 20:023:016 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. 20:023:017 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. 20:023:018 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. 20:023:019 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. 20:023:020 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: 20:023:021 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. 20:023:022 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old. 20:023:023 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. 20:023:024 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. 20:023:025 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. 20:023:026 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. 20:023:027 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 20:023:028 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men. 20:023:029 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 20:023:030 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 20:023:031 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 20:023:032 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 20:023:033 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
