When thou
sittest
to eat
with a ruler, Thou
considerest
diligently
that
which
`
is '
before thee
,
When you
sit
down
to dine
with a ruler, consider
carefully
what
is set
before you

And thou
hast
put a knife to thy
throat ,
If thou
`art'
a man
of
appetite.

throat if you
possess
a great
appetite.

Labour
not to make
wealth,
From
thine
own
understanding
cease,
Dost
thou
cause
thine
eyes
to fly
upon
it?
Then
it
is
not
.
Do
not wear
yourself
out
to get
rich;

wings
, As
an eagle it
flieth
to the heavens

not the bread of an
evil
eye
, And have
no
desire
to
his dainties,

not eat
the bread of a
stingy
man

not
crave
his delicacies;
For as
he hath
thought
in
his
soul,
so
`
is '
he
, `
Eat and drink, '
saith
he to thee
, And
his heart `
is '
not with thee
.
for he is keeping
track
, inwardly
counting
the
cost.
“
Eat and drink, ”
he says
to you
, but
his heart is not with you
.
Thy
morsel
thou
hast
eaten
thou
dost
vomit up ,
And hast
marred
thy
words that
`are'
sweet
.

will
vomit up what
little

on
the
fields of the fatherless,
For their Redeemer `
is '
strong ,
He doth
plead
their cause
with
thee
.

He will
take
up
their case
against
you
.

When
thou
smitest
him with a rod he dieth
not.

deliverest
.

My son, if thy
heart hath
been
wise, My heart rejoiceth,

my reins
exult
when thy
lips speak uprightly
.

thy

Be
not thou
among
quaffers
of
wine ,
Among
gluttonous
ones
of
flesh,
Do

gorge
themselves
on
meat.
For the quaffer

poor
, And drowsiness clotheth
with
rags.

and the
glutton will
come
to
poverty

heart
to

my ways.

For a harlot
`
is '
a deep ditch
, And a
strange
woman
`
is '
a strait
pit
.
For a prostitute
is a deep pit
, and an
adulteress
is a narrow
well
.
She also,
as
catching
prey,
lieth
in wait ,
And the treacherous
among men she
increaseth
.
Like
a
robber
she lies
in wait and multiplies
the faithless
among men.

sorrow? Who hath
contentions? who hath
plaint
? Who hath

cause
? Who hath
redness
of
eyes?

woe

sorrow? Who has
contentions? Who has
complaints

Those tarrying
by
the
wine, Those
going
in
to search
out
mixed wine
.

See
not wine when
it showeth
itself
red, When it giveth
in the cup its
colour,
It
goeth
up
and down through
the
upright
.
Do
not gaze
at
wine while
it is
red, when it sparkles
in the cup and goes
down smoothly
.
Its
latter
end --
as
a
serpent
it biteth,
And as
a basilisk
it
stingeth
.
In
the
end it bites
like
a
snake
and stings
like
a viper
.
Thine
eyes see strange women
, And thy
heart
speaketh
perverse
things
.
Your
eyes will
see strange things
, and your
mind
will
utter
perversities
.
And
thou
hast
been
as
one lying
down
in
the
heart
of
the sea,
And
as
one
lying down
on the top of a mast .
You
will
be
like

`
They smote
me, I have
not
been
sick,
They beat me, I have
not known.
When
I
awake
--
I
seek
it yet
again
! '
“
They struck
me, but
I feel
no
pain!
They beat me, but
I did
not know
it! When
can
I
wake
up
to
search
for
another
drink?”
