Proverbs 23:15-35

15My sonH1121, if thy heartH3820 be wiseH2449, my heartH3820 shall rejoiceH8055, even mineH589.1 16Yea, my reinsH3629 shall rejoiceH5937, when thy lipsH8193 speakH1696 right thingsH4339.

17Let not thy heartH3820 envyH7065 sinnersH2400: but be thou in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 all the dayH3117 long. 18For surely there isH3426 an endH319; and thy expectationH8615 shall not be cut offH3772.2

19HearH8085 thou, my sonH1121, and be wiseH2449, and guideH833 thy heartH3820 in the wayH1870. 20Be not among winebibbersH3196H5433; among gluttonous eatersH2151 of fleshH1320:3 21For the drunkardH5433 and the gluttonH2151 shall come to povertyH3423: and drowsinessH5124 shall clotheH3847 a man with ragsH7168. 22HearkenH8085 to thy fatherH1 that begatH3205 thee, and despiseH936 not thy motherH517 when she is oldH2204. 23BuyH7069 the truthH571, and sellH4376 it not; also wisdomH2451, and instructionH4148, and understandingH998. 24The fatherH1 of the righteousH6662 shall greatlyH1524 rejoiceH1523: and he that begettethH3205 a wiseH2450 child shall have joyH8055 of him. 25Thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517 shall be gladH8055, and she that boreH3205 thee shall rejoiceH1523. 26My sonH1121, giveH5414 me thy heartH3820, and let thy eyesH5869 observeH7521H5341 my waysH1870. 27For an harlotH2181 is a deepH6013 ditchH7745; and an adulteressH5237 is a narrowH6862 pitH875. 28She also lieth in waitH693 as for a preyH2863, and increasethH3254 the transgressorsH898 among menH120.4

29Who hath woeH188? who hath sorrowH17? who hath contentionsH4079H4066? who hath babblingH7879? who hath woundsH6482 without causeH2600? who hath rednessH2448 of eyesH5869? 30They that tarry longH309 at the wineH3196; they that goH935 to seekH2713 mixed wineH4469. 31LookH7200 not thou upon the wineH3196 when it is redH119, when it givethH5414 its colourH5869 in the cupH3563H3599, when it movethH1980 itself arightH4339. 32At the lastH319 it bitethH5391 like a serpentH5175, and stingethH6567 like an adderH6848.5 33Thy eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 strange thingsH2114, and thy heartH3820 shall utterH1696 perverse thingsH8419. 34And thou shalt be as he that lieth downH7901 in the midstH3820 of the seaH3220, or as he that liethH7901 upon the topH7218 of a mastH2260.6 35They have strickenH5221 me, shalt thou say, and I was not sickH2470; they have beatenH1986 me, and I feltH3045 it not: when shall I awakeH6974? I will seekH1245 it yetH3254 again.7
