[23:4] Not do labor to be rich; for your understanding cease.
[23:31 – 33] Not do look at the wine when it is red; when it gives in the cup its eye; when it goes down smoothly – at its last like a snake it bites; and like a viper it stings. Your eyes shall look on strange women; and your heart shall speak perverse things.
When you site down to eat with a ruler carefully consider what (is) before you: and put a knife to your throat,. if a possessor of a soul you (are). not Do desire his delicacies. for it (is) bread of lies not Do labor to be rich; for your understanding cease. Will fly your eyes on it, and (it) is not? For surely it will make for itself? wings like an eagle and will fly into the heavens.
not Do eat the bread of an evil eye; and not do desire his delicacies; for as he reckons in his soul, so (is) he? eat and drink, he says to you; but his heart not (is) with you. Your bit you have eaten, you shall vomit up; and spoil our words pleasant.
In the ears of a fool not do speak. for he will despise the prudence of your words. not do move the landmark old and into the fields of the fatherless not do enter; for their Redeemer is mighty; He shall plead their cause with you. Bring in for instruction your heart, and your ears to the words of knowledge. not Do withhold from a boy correction; for (if) you strike him with the rod not he will die. You with the rod shall beat him and his soul from Sheol you shall deliver.
My son, if is wise your heart, shall rejoice my heart, even I. And shall exult my reins when speak our lips right things. not Do let envy your heart against sinners; but only (be) in the fear of Jehovah all the day. For surely there is a here after and your hope not shall be cut off. Hear you, my son, and be wise; and advances in the way your heart. not Do be with heavy drinkers of wine; with gluttons flesh to themselves For the drunkard and the glutton lose all; and (with) rags shall clothe (one) sleepiness.
Listen to your father: this one begot you; and not do despise when she is old your mother. the truth obtain and not do sell (it); (also) wisdom, and instruction and understanding. greatly shall rejoice The father of the righteous; and the father of a wise one shall even be glad in him. Let be glad your father and your mother; and let rejoice she who bare you.
Give, my son, your heart to me; and your eyes my ways let watch. For a pit deep (is) a harlot, and a well narrow a strange woman; surely she as for prey lies in wait; and the treacherous among men she increases.
To who (is) woe? To whom (is) sorrow? To whom contentions; To whom babbling? To whom (are) wounds without cause? To whom dullness of eyes?
Those who stay long over the wine; those who go in to seek mixed wine. not Do look at the wine when it is red; when it gives in the cup its eye; when it goes (down) smoothly at its last like a snake it bites; and like a viper it stings. your eyes shall look on strange women; and your heart shall speak perverse things. And you shall be as one who lies down in the heart of the seas; or as he who lies on the top of a mast. They struck me; not I was sick. They beat me; not I did know (it). When I will awaken, I will add, I will seek it still.
