Dual Panel1When <03588> you sit down <03427> to eat <03898> with <0854> a ruler <04910>, consider carefully <0995> <0995> what <0834> is before <06440> you,
2and put <07760> a knife <07915> to your throat <03930> if <0518> you <0859> possess <01167> a large appetite <05315>.
3Do not <0408> crave <0183> that ruler’s delicacies <04303>, for that <01931> food <03899> is deceptive <03577>.
4Do not <0408> wear <03021> yourself out <03021> to become rich <06238>; be wise <0998> enough to restrain <02308> yourself.
5When you gaze <05869> <05774> upon riches, they are gone <0369>, for <03588> they surely make <06213> <06213> wings <03671> for themselves, and fly off <05774> into the sky <08064> like an eagle <05404>!
6Do not <0408> eat <03898> the food <03899> of a stingy person <05869> <07451>, do not <0408> crave <0183> his delicacies <04303>;
7for <03588> he is like <03644> someone calculating <08176> the cost in his <01931> mind <05315>. “Eat <0398> and drink <08354>,” he says <0559> to you, but his heart <03820> is not <01077> with <05973> you;
8you will vomit up <06958> the little bit <06595> you have eaten <0398>, and will have wasted <07843> your pleasant <05273> words <01697>.
9Do not <0408> speak <01696> in the ears <0241> of a fool <03684>, for <03588> he will despise <0936> the wisdom <07922> of your words <04405>.
10Do not <0408> move <05253> an ancient <05769> boundary <01366> stone, or <0408> take over <0935> the fields <07704> of the fatherless <03490>,
11for <03588> their Protector <01350> is strong <02389>; he <01931> will plead <07378> their case <07379> against <0854> you.
12Apply <0935> your heart <03820> to instruction <04148> and your ears <0241> to the words <0561> of knowledge <01847>.
13Do not <0408> withhold <04513> discipline <04148> from a child <05288>; even if <03588> you strike <05221> him with the rod <07626>, he will not <03808> die <04191>.
14If you <0859> strike <05221> him with the rod <07626>, you will deliver <05337> him <05315> from death <07585>.
15My child <01121>, if <0518> your heart <03820> is wise <02449>, then my <0589> heart <03820> also <01571> will be glad <08055>;
16my soul <03629> will rejoice <05937> when your lips <08193> speak <01696> what is right <04339>.
17Do not <0408> let your heart <03820> envy <07065> sinners <02400>, but rather <0518> <03588> be zealous in fearing <03374> the Lord <03068> all <03605> the time <03117>.
18For <03588> surely <0518> there is <03426> a future <0319>, and your hope <08615> will not <03808> be cut off <03772>.
19Listen <08085>, my child <01121>, and be wise <02449>, and guide <0833> your heart <03820> on the right way <01870>.
20Do not <0408> spend time among <01961> drunkards <03196> <05433>, among those who eat too much <02151> meat <01320>,
21because <03588> drunkards <05433> and gluttons <02151> become impoverished <03423>, and drowsiness <05124> clothes <03847> them with rags <07168>.
22Listen <08085> to your father <01> who begot <03205> you, and do not <0408> despise <0936> your mother <0517> when <03588> she is old <02204>.
23Acquire <07069> truth <0571> and do not <0408> sell <04376> it– wisdom <02451>, and discipline <04148>, and understanding <0998>.
24The father <01> of a righteous <06662> person will rejoice greatly <01523> <01523>; whoever fathers a wise child <02450> will have joy <08055> <08055> in him.
25May your father <01> and your mother <0517> have joy <08055>; may she who bore <03205> you rejoice <01523>.
26Give <05414> me your heart <03820>, my son <01121>, and let your eyes <05869> observe <07521> my ways <01870>;
27for <03588> a prostitute <02181> is like a deep <06013> pit <07745>; a harlot <05237> is like a narrow <06862> well <0875>.
28Indeed <0637>, she <01931> lies in wait <0693> like a robber <02863>, and increases <03254> the unfaithful <0898> among men <0120>.
29Who <04310> has woe <0188>? Who <04310> has sorrow <017>? Who <04310> has contentions <04066>? Who <04310> has complaints <07879>? Who <04310> has wounds <06482> without cause <02600>? Who <04310> has dullness <02448> of the eyes <05869>?
30Those who linger <0309> over <05921> wine <03196>, those who go <0935> looking for <02713> mixed wine <04469>.
31Do not <0408> look <07200> on the wine <03196> when <03588> it is red <0119>, when <03588> it sparkles <05869> <05414> in the cup <03599>, when it goes down <01980> smoothly <04339>.
32Afterward <0319> it bites <05391> like a snake <05175>, and stings <06567> like a viper <06848>.
33Your eyes <05869> will see <07200> strange things <02114>, and your mind <03820> will speak <01696> perverse things <08419>.
34And you will be <01961> like one who lies down <07901> in the midst <03820> of the sea <03220>, and like one who lies down <07901> on the top <07218> of the rigging <02260>.
35You will say, “They have struck <05221> me, but I am not <01077> harmed <02470>! They beat <01986> me, but I did not <01077> know <03045> it! When <04970> will I awake <06974>? I will look <01245> for another <05750> <03254> drink.”
