Chapter 23 When thou sittest to eat with
the ruler, consider diligently what is

00:05.940 --> 00:09.740
before thee, and put a knife to thy
throat, if thou be a man given to

00:09.740 --> 00:10.220
appetite.

00:10.960 --> 00:14.620
Be not desirous of his dainties,
for they are deceitful meat.

00:15.280 --> 00:18.060
Labour not to be rich, cease from thine
own wisdom.

00:19.300 --> 00:21.540
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which
is not?

00:21.760 --> 00:26.140
For riches certainly make themselves
wings, they fly away as an eagle toward

00:26.140 --> 00:26.420
heaven.

00:27.160 --> 00:31.680
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an
evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty

00:31.680 --> 00:32.060
meats.

00:32.740 --> 00:35.140
For as he thinketh in his heart,
so is he.

00:36.020 --> 00:39.360
Eat and drink, saith he to thee,
but his heart is not with thee.

00:40.280 --> 00:44.460
The morsel which thou hast eaten,
shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet

00:44.460 --> 00:44.920
words.

00:45.900 --> 00:49.520
Speak not in the ears of a fool,
for he will despise the wisdom of thy

00:49.520 --> 00:49.940
words.

00:50.980 --> 00:55.100
Remove not the old landmark, and enter not
into the fields of the fatherless.

00:55.100 --> 00:59.700
For their Redeemer is mighty, he shall
plead their cause with thee.

01:00.640 --> 01:04.740
Apply thine heart unto instruction,
and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

01:05.480 --> 01:09.700
Withhold not correction from the child,
for if thou beatest him with the rod,

01:09.880 --> 01:10.700
he shall not die.

01:11.420 --> 01:14.780
Thou shalt beat him with the rod,
and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

01:15.640 --> 01:20.720
My son, if thine heart be wise,
my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

01:20.720 --> 01:25.300
Yea, my reins shall rejoice when thy lips
speak right things.

01:26.020 --> 01:30.440
Let not thine heart envy sinners,
but be thou in the fear of the Lord all

01:30.440 --> 01:31.160
the day long.

01:31.820 --> 01:36.080
For surely there is an end, and thine
expectation shall not be cut off.

01:36.940 --> 01:41.120
Hear thou, my son, and be wise,
and guide thine heart in the way.

01:42.100 --> 01:45.440
Be not among winebibbers, among riotous
eaters of flesh.

01:45.440 --> 01:49.440
For the drunkard and the glutton shall
come to poverty, and drowsiness shall

01:49.440 --> 01:50.720
clothe the man with rags.

01:51.940 --> 01:56.260
Hearken unto thy father that begat thee,
and despise not thy mother when she is

01:56.260 --> 01:56.580
old.

01:57.340 --> 02:01.600
Buy the truth, and sell it not,
also wisdom, and instruction, and

02:01.600 --> 02:02.220
understanding.

02:03.220 --> 02:07.560
The father of the righteous shall greatly
rejoice, and he that begetteth the wise

02:07.560 --> 02:09.120
child shall have joy of him.

02:10.040 --> 02:14.140
Thy father and thy mother shall be glad,
and she that beareth thee shall rejoice.

02:14.820 --> 02:19.980
My son, give me thine heart, and let thine
eyes observe my ways.

02:20.580 --> 02:24.520
For a whore is a deep ditch, and a strange
woman is a narrow pit.

02:25.280 --> 02:29.540
She also lieth in wait as for a prey,
and increaseth the transgressors among

02:29.540 --> 02:29.980
men.

02:31.120 --> 02:31.860
Who hath woe?

02:32.460 --> 02:33.300
Who hath sorrow?

02:33.840 --> 02:35.160
Who hath contentions?

02:35.540 --> 02:36.320
Who hath babbling?

02:36.780 --> 02:38.520
Who hath wounds without cause?

02:38.920 --> 02:40.460
Who hath redness of eyes?

02:41.220 --> 02:45.480
They that tarry long at the wine,
they that go to seek mixed wine.

02:46.700 --> 02:50.920
Look not thou upon the wine when it is
red, when it giveth his colour in the cup,

02:51.260 --> 02:52.780
when it moveth itself aright.

02:53.600 --> 02:57.400
At the last it biteth like a serpent,
and stingeth like an adder.

02:58.460 --> 03:02.600
Thine eyes shall behold strange women,
and thine heart shall utter perverse

03:02.600 --> 03:03.120
things.

03:03.680 --> 03:08.380
Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down
in the midst of the sea, or as he that

03:08.380 --> 03:09.760
lieth upon the top of a mast.

03:10.380 --> 03:13.160
They have stricken me, shalt thou say,
and I was not sick.

03:13.520 --> 03:15.500
They have beaten me, and I felt it not.

03:16.080 --> 03:16.980
When shall I awake?

03:17.440 --> 03:18.960
I will seek it yet again.
