Proverbs - Chapter: 23


23:1	When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
23:2	And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
23:3	Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
23:4	Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
23:5	Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
23:6	Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
23:7	For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
23:8	The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
23:9	Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
23:10	Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
23:11	For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
23:12	Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
23:13	Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
23:14	Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
23:15	My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
23:16	Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
23:17	Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
23:18	For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
23:19	Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
23:20	Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
23:21	For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
23:22	Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23:23	Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
23:24	The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
23:25	Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
23:26	My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
23:27	For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
23:28	She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
23:29	Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
23:30	They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
23:31	Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
23:32	At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
23:33	Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
23:34	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.
23:35	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.


23:1	כי תשׁב ללחום את מושׁל בין תבין את אשׁר לפניך׃
23:2	ושׂמת שׂכין בלעך אם בעל נפשׁ אתה׃
23:3	אל תתאו למטעמותיו והוא לחם כזבים׃
23:4	אל תיגע להעשׁיר מבינתך חדל׃
23:5	התעוף עיניך בו ואיננו כי עשׂה יעשׂה לו כנפים כנשׁר ועיף השׁמים׃
23:6	אל תלחם את לחם רע עין ואל תתאו למטעמתיו׃
23:7	כי כמו שׁער בנפשׁו כן הוא אכל ושׁתה יאמר לך ולבו בל עמך׃
23:8	פתך אכלת תקיאנה ושׁחת דבריך הנעימים׃
23:9	באזני כסיל אל תדבר כי יבוז לשׂכל מליך׃
23:10	אל תסג גבול עולם ובשׂדי יתומים אל תבא׃
23:11	כי גאלם חזק הוא יריב את ריבם אתך׃
23:12	הביאה למוסר לבך ואזנך לאמרי דעת׃
23:13	אל תמנע מנער מוסר כי תכנו בשׁבט לא ימות׃
23:14	אתה בשׁבט תכנו ונפשׁו משׁאול תציל׃
23:15	בני אם חכם לבך ישׂמח לבי גם אני׃
23:16	ותעלזנה כליותי בדבר שׂפתיך מישׁרים׃
23:17	אל יקנא לבך בחטאים כי אם ביראת יהוה כל היום׃
23:18	כי אם ישׁ אחרית ותקותך לא תכרת׃
23:19	שׁמע אתה בני וחכם ואשׁר בדרך לבך׃
23:20	אל תהי בסבאי יין בזללי בשׂר׃
23:21	כי סבא וזולל יורשׁ וקרעים תלבישׁ נומה׃
23:22	שׁמע לאביך זה ילדך ואל תבוז כי זקנה אמך׃
23:23	אמת קנה ואל תמכר חכמה ומוסר ובינה׃
23:24	גול יגול אבי צדיק יולד חכם וישׂמח בו׃
23:25	ישׂמח אביך ואמך ותגל יולדתך׃
23:26	תנה בני לבך לי ועיניך דרכי תרצנה׃
23:27	כי שׁוחה עמקה זונה ובאר צרה נכריה׃
23:28	אף היא כחתף תארב ובוגדים באדם תוסף׃
23:29	למי אוי למי אבוי למי מדונים למי שׂיח למי פצעים חנם למי חכללות עינים׃
23:30	למאחרים על היין לבאים לחקר ממסך׃
23:31	אל תרא יין כי יתאדם כי יתן בכיס עינו יתהלך במישׁרים׃
23:32	אחריתו כנחשׁ ישׁך וכצפעני יפרשׁ׃
23:33	עיניך יראו זרות ולבך ידבר תהפכות׃
23:34	והיית כשׁכב בלב ים וכשׁכב בראשׁ חבל׃
23:35	הכוני בל חליתי הלמוני בל ידעתי מתי אקיץ אוסיף אבקשׁנו עוד׃


23:1	When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which `is' before thee,
23:2	And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou `art' a man of appetite.
23:3	Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it `is' lying food.
23:4	Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.
23:5	For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens.
23:6	Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties,
23:7	For as he hath thought in his soul, so `is' he, `Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And his heart `is' not with thee.
23:8	Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that `are' sweet.
23:9	In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words.
23:10	Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not,
23:11	For their Redeemer `is' strong, He doth plead their cause with thee.
23:12	Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to sayings of knowledge.
23:13	Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.
23:14	Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest.
23:15	My son, if thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth, even mine,
23:16	And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.
23:17	Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But -- in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
23:18	For, is there a posterity? Then thy hope is not cut off.
23:19	Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And make happy in the way thy heart,
23:20	Be not thou among quaffers of wine, Among gluttonous ones of flesh,
23:21	For the quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness clotheth with rags.
23:22	Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she hath become old.
23:23	Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,
23:24	The father of the righteous rejoiceth greatly, The begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him.
23:25	Rejoice doth thy father and thy mother, Yea, she that bare thee is joyful.
23:26	Give, my son, thy heart to me, And let thine eyes watch my ways.
23:27	For a harlot `is' a deep ditch, And a strange woman `is' a strait pit.
23:28	She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.
23:29	Who hath wo? who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? who hath plaint? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?
23:30	Those tarrying by the wine, Those going in to search out mixed wine.
23:31	See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.
23:32	Its latter end -- as a serpent it biteth, And as a basilisk it stingeth.
23:33	Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.
23:34	And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the sea, And as one lying down on the top of a mast.
23:35	`They smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have not known. When I awake -- I seek it yet again!'
