			1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what ''is'' before you;

			2 and put a knife to your throat if you ''are'' a man given to appetite.

			3 Do not be desirous his delicacies, because they ''are'' deceptive food.

			4 Do not labor to be rich; cease from your own wisdom.

			5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not there? Because, ''riches'' certainly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

			6 Do not eat the bread of a ''him who has'' and evil eye, nor desire for yourself his delicious food;

			7 because as he thinks in his heart, so ''is'' he; “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart ''is'' not with you.

			8 The morsel ''that'' you have eaten, you will vomit up, and lose your pleasant words.

			9 Do not speak in the ears of a fool, because, he will despise the wisdom of your words.

			10 Do not remove the old landmarks, and do not enter into the fields of the fatherless;

			11 because, their Redeemer ''is'' mighty; He will plead their cause against you.

			12 Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge.

			13 Do not withhold correction from a child, because, ''if'' you beat him with a rod, he will not die.

			14 You shall beat him with a rod, and deliver his soul from hell.

			15 My son, if your heart is wise, my own heart will also rejoice;

			16 Yes, the core of my being will rejoice when your lips speak right things.

			17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but ''be'' yourself reverent of the LORD all day long.

			18 Because surely there is an end, and your hope will not be cut off.

			19 Hear, my son, and be wise; and guide your heart in the way.

			20 Do not associate with winebibbers, with gluttonous eaters of meat;

			21 because the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe ''a man'' with rags.

			22 Listen to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when she is old.

			23 Buy the truth, and do not sell ''it'', ''also'' wisdom and instruction and understanding.

			24 The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise ''child'' will have joy because of him.

			25 Your father and your mother will be glad, and her who bore you will rejoice.

			26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.

			27 Because, a harlot is a deep pit, and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

			28 She also lies in wait ''for'' victims, and increases the transgressors among men.

			29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has babbling? Who has wounds without a reason? Who has redness of eyes?

			30 Those who linger long at the wine, those who go to seek mixed wine.

			31 Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it gives it color in the cup, when it moves around smoothly;

			32 In the end it bites like a serpent, and stings like a viper.

			33 Your eyes will behold strange women, and your heart will utter perverse things.

			34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, or like one who lies upon the top of the mast.

			35 "You will say", “They have struck me, but I was not sick; they have beaten me, ''but'' I did not feel it. When shall I awake, that I may seek it once again?”
