Proverbs 23 :: Webster's Bible (WEB)

On Life and Conduct

Pro 23:1

Pro 23:1When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:

Pro 23:2

Pro 23:2And put a knife to thy throat, if thou art a man given to appetite.

Pro 23:3

Pro 23:3Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful food.

Pro 23:4

Pro 23:4Labor not to be rich: cease from thy own wisdom.

Pro 23:5

Pro 23:5Wilt thou set thy eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make to themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle towards heaven.

Pro 23:6

Pro 23:6Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties:

Pro 23:7

Pro 23:7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

Pro 23:8

Pro 23:8The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

Pro 23:9

Pro 23:9Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

Pro 23:10

Pro 23:10Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

Pro 23:11

Pro 23:11For their redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause with thee.

Pro 23:12

Pro 23:12Apply thy heart to instruction, and thy ears to the words of knowledge.

Pro 23:13

Pro 23:13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Pro 23:14

Pro 23:14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Pro 23:15

Pro 23:15My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Pro 23:16

Pro 23:16Yes, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

Pro 23:17

Pro 23:17Let not thy heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

Pro 23:18

Pro 23:18For surely there is an end; and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Pro 23:19

Pro 23:19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart in the way.

Pro 23:20

Pro 23:20Be not among wine-bibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

Pro 23:21

Pro 23:21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Pro 23:22

Pro 23:22Hearken to thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

Pro 23:23

Pro 23:23Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Pro 23:24

Pro 23:24The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

Pro 23:25

Pro 23:25Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bore thee shall rejoice.

Pro 23:26

Pro 23:26My son, give me thy heart, and let thy eyes observe my ways.

Pro 23:27

Pro 23:27For a lewd woman is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

Pro 23:28

Pro 23:28She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

Pro 23:29

Pro 23:29Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

Pro 23:30

Pro 23:30They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

Pro 23:31

Pro 23:31Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

Pro 23:32

Pro 23:32At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

Pro 23:33

Pro 23:33Thy eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall utter perverse things.

Pro 23:34

Pro 23:34And 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.

Pro 23:35

Pro 23:35They have stricken me, wilt 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.
