On Life and Conduct
1 When H3588 you sit H3427 down H3427 to dine H3898 with a ruler H4910,
Consider H995 carefully H995 [fn]what H834 is before H6440 you,
2 And put H7760 a knife H7915 to your throat H3930
If H518 you are a person H1167 of great appetite H5315.
3 Do not desire H183 his delicacies H4303,
For it is deceptive H3577 food H3899.
4 Do not weary H3021 yourself to gain H6238 wealth H6238;
[fn]Stop H2308 dwelling H998 on it.
5 [fn]When you set H5774 your eyes H5869 on it, it is H369 gone H369.
For wealth certainly H6213 makes H6213 itself wings H3671
Like an eagle H5404 that flies H5774 toward the heavens H8064.
6 Do not eat H3898 the bread H3899 of [fn]a selfish H7451 H5869 person H7451;
Or desire H183 his delicacies H4303;
7 For as he [fn]thinks H8176 within himself H5315, so H3651 he is.
He says H559 to you, “Eat H398 and drink H8354!”
But his heart H3820 is not with you.
8 You will vomit H6958 up H6958 [fn]the morsel H6595 you have eaten H398
And waste H7843 your [fn]compliments H1697 H5273.
9 Do not speak H1696 [fn]to be heard H241 by a fool H3684,
For he will despise H936 the wisdom H7922 of your words H4405.
10 Do not move H5472 the ancient H5769 boundary H1366
Or go H935 into the fields H7704 of the fatherless H3490,
11 For their Redeemer H1350 is strong H2389;
He will plead H7378 their case H7379 against H854 you.
12 Apply H935 your heart H3820 to discipline H4148,
And your ears H241 to words H561 of knowledge H1847.
13 Do not withhold H4513 discipline H4148 from a child H5288;
Though H3588 you strike H5221 him with the rod H7626, he will not die H4191.
14 You shall strike H5221 him with the rod H7626
And rescue H5337 his soul H5315 from Sheol H7585.
15 My son H1121, if H518 your heart H3820 is H2449 wise H2449,
My own heart H3820 also H1571 will be H8055 glad H8055,
16 And my [fn]innermost H3629 being H3629 will rejoice H5937
When your lips H8193 speak H1696 what H4339 is H4339 right H4339.
17 Do not let your heart H3820 envy H7065 sinners H2400,
But live in [fn]the fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 [fn]always H3605 H3117.
18 Certainly H3588 H518 there H3426 is H3426 a [fn]future H319,
And your hope H8615 will not be cut H3772 off H3772.
19 Listen H8085, my son H1121, and be H2449 wise H2449,
And direct H833 your heart H3820 in the way H1870.
20 Do not be with heavy H5433 drinkers H5433 of wine H3196,
Or with gluttonous H2151 eaters H2151 of meat H1320;
21 For the heavy H5433 drinker H5433 and the glutton H2151 will come H3423 to poverty H3423,
And drowsiness H5124 will clothe H3847 one with rags H7168.
22 Listen H8085 to your father H1, who fathered H3205 you,
And do not despise H936 your mother H517 when H3588 she is H2204 old H2204.
23 Buy H7069 truth H571, and do not sell H4376 it,
Get wisdom H2451, instruction H4148, and understanding H998.
24 The father H1 of the righteous H6662 will greatly H1524 rejoice H1523,
And he who fathers H3205 a wise H2450 son H2450 will be H8055 glad H8055 in him.
25 Let your father H1 and your mother H517 be H8055 glad H8055,
And let her rejoice H1523 who gave H3205 birth H3205 to you.
26 Give H5414 me your heart H3820, my son H1121,
And let your eyes H5869 [fn]delight H7521 in my ways H1870.
27 For a prostitute H2181 is a deep H6013 pit H7745,
And a [fn]strange H5237 woman H5237 is a narrow H6862 well H875.
28 Certainly H637 she lurks H693 as a robber H2863,
And increases H3254 the treacherous H898 among mankind H120.
29 Who H4310 has woe H190? Who H4310 has sorrow H17?
Who H4310 has contentions H4066? Who H4310 has complaining H7879?
Who H4310 has wounds H6482 without H2600 cause H2600?
Who H4310 has red H2448 eyes H5869?
30 Those who linger H309 long over H5921 wine H3196,
Those who go H935 to [fn]taste H2713 mixed H4469 wine H4469.
31 Do not look H7200 at wine H3196 when H3588 it is red H119,
When H3588 it [fn]sparkles H5414 H5869 in the cup H3563,
When it goes H1980 down H1980 smoothly H4339;
32 In the end H319 it bites H5391 like a snake H5175
And stings H6567 like a viper H6848.
33 Your eyes H5869 will see H7200 strange H2114 things H2114
And your [fn]mind H3820 will say H1696 perverse H8419 things H8419.
34 And you will be like one who lies H7901 down H7901 in the [fn]middle H3820 of the sea H3220,
Or like one who lies H7901 down H7901 on the top H7218 of a [fn]mast H2260.
35 “They struck H5221 me, but I did not become H2470 [fn]ill H2470;
They beat H1986 me, but I did not know H3045 it.
