2 And|strong="H5315" put|strong="H7760" a|strong="H3068" knife|strong="H7915" to|strong="H5315" thy|strong="H7760" throat|strong="H3930", if|strong="H7760" thou|strong="H7760" be|strong="H5315" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H1167" given|strong="H1167" to|strong="H5315" appetite|strong="H5315".
3 Be|strong="H3899" not desirous of|strong="H3899" his|strong="H1931" dainties|strong="H4303"; seeing they|strong="H1931" are deceitful|strong="H3577" meat|strong="H3899".
4 Weary|strong="H3021" not|strong="H2308" thyself to|strong="H2308" be rich|strong="H6238"; cease|strong="H2308" from|strong="H2308" thine own wisdom.
5 Wilt thou|strong="H6213" set|strong="H6213" thine|strong="H5774" eyes|strong="H5869" upon|strong="H6213" that|strong="H3588" which|strong="H5869" is|strong="H5869" not|strong="H6213"? for|strong="H3588" riches certainly|strong="H3588" make|strong="H6213" themselves|strong="H6213" wings|strong="H3671", like|strong="H6213" an|strong="H6213" eagle|strong="H5404" that|strong="H3588" flieth|strong="H5774" toward|strong="H5404" heaven|strong="H8064".
6 Eat|strong="H3898" thou not|strong="H5869" the|strong="H5869" bread|strong="H3899" of|strong="H5869" him|strong="H5869" that|strong="H7451" hath|strong="H5869" an evil|strong="H7451" eye|strong="H5869", neither desire thou his|strong="H5869" dainties|strong="H4303":
7 For|strong="H3588" as|strong="H3644" he|strong="H1931" reckoneth within|strong="H5973" himself|strong="H5315", so|strong="H3651" is|strong="H1931" he|strong="H1931": Eat and|strong="H8354" drink|strong="H8354", saith he|strong="H1931" to|strong="H3820" thee; but|strong="H3588" his|strong="H3588" heart|strong="H3820" is|strong="H1931" not|strong="H1077" with|strong="H5973" thee.
8 The|strong="H1697" morsel|strong="H6595" which|strong="H1697" thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit|strong="H6958" up|strong="H6958", and|strong="H1697" lose|strong="H7843" thy|strong="H7843" sweet|strong="H5273" words|strong="H1697".

10 Remove|strong="H5253" not the|strong="H7704" ancient|strong="H5769" landmark|strong="H1366"; and|strong="H5769" enter not into the|strong="H7704" fields|strong="H7704" of|strong="H1366" the|strong="H7704" fatherless|strong="H3490":
11 For|strong="H3588" their|strong="H3588" redeemer|strong="H1350" is|strong="H1931" strong|strong="H2389"; he|strong="H1931" shall|strong="H1931" plead|strong="H7378" their|strong="H3588" cause|strong="H7379" against|strong="H7378" thee.
12 Apply thine heart|strong="H3820" unto|strong="H3820" instruction|strong="H4148", and|strong="H3820" thine ears to|strong="H3820" the|strong="H1847" words of|strong="H3820" knowledge|strong="H1847".
13 Withhold|strong="H4513" not|strong="H3808" correction|strong="H4148" from|strong="H4513" the|strong="H3588" child|strong="H5288": for if|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3588" beat|strong="H5221" him|strong="H5221" with|strong="H4191" the|strong="H3588" rod|strong="H7626", he|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" die|strong="H4191".
14 Thou shalt beat|strong="H5221" him|strong="H5221" with|strong="H5315" the|strong="H5221" rod|strong="H7626", and|strong="H5315" shalt deliver|strong="H5337" his|strong="H5221" soul|strong="H5315" from|strong="H5315" Sheol|strong="H7585".

22 Hearken|strong="H8085" unto|strong="H3205" thy|strong="H8085" father|strong="H3205" that|strong="H3588" begat|strong="H3205" thee|strong="H8085", and|strong="H8085" despise not|strong="H2088" thy|strong="H8085" mother when|strong="H3588" she|strong="H3588" is|strong="H2088" old|strong="H2204".
23 Buy|strong="H7069" the|strong="H7069" truth, and|strong="H2451" sell|strong="H4376" it|strong="H7069" not|strong="H4376"; yea, wisdom|strong="H2451", and|strong="H2451" instruction|strong="H4148", and|strong="H2451" understanding.
24 The|strong="H3205" father|strong="H3205" of|strong="H3205" the|strong="H3205" righteous|strong="H6662" shall|strong="H6662" greatly|strong="H1524" rejoice|strong="H8055": and|strong="H2450" he that|strong="H6662" begetteth|strong="H3205" a|strong="H3068" wise|strong="H2450" child|strong="H3205" shall|strong="H6662" have|strong="H3205" joy|strong="H8055" of|strong="H3205" him|strong="H3205".
25 Let|strong="H8055" thy|strong="H3205" father|strong="H3205" and|strong="H8055" thy|strong="H3205" mother be glad|strong="H8055", and|strong="H8055" let|strong="H8055" her|strong="H3205" that|strong="H8055" bare|strong="H3205" thee rejoice|strong="H8055".
26 My|strong="H5414" son|strong="H1121", give|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414" thine|strong="H5414" heart|strong="H3820", and|strong="H1121" let|strong="H5414" thine|strong="H5414" eyes|strong="H5869" delight|strong="H7521" in|strong="H1121" my|strong="H5414" ways|strong="H1870".

28 Yea, she|strong="H1931" lieth in|strong="H3254" wait as|strong="H3254" a|strong="H3068" robber|strong="H2863", and|strong="H3254" increaseth|strong="H3254" the|strong="H3254" treacherous among men.

31 Look|strong="H7200" not|strong="H5414" thou|strong="H5414" upon|strong="H7200" the|strong="H7200" wine|strong="H3196" when|strong="H3588" it|strong="H5414" is|strong="H5869" red, when|strong="H3588" it|strong="H5414" giveth|strong="H5414" its|strong="H5414" colour|strong="H5869" in|strong="H1980" the|strong="H7200" cup, when|strong="H3588" it|strong="H5414" goeth|strong="H1980" down|strong="H1980" smoothly|strong="H4339".
32 At|strong="H5391" the|strong="H5391" last it biteth|strong="H5391" like a|strong="H3068" serpent|strong="H5175", and|strong="H5175" stingeth|strong="H6567" like an adder|strong="H6848".
33 Thine|strong="H7200" eyes|strong="H5869" shall|strong="H3820" behold|strong="H7200" strange|strong="H2114" things|strong="H8419", and|strong="H5869" thine|strong="H7200" heart|strong="H3820" shall|strong="H3820" utter|strong="H1696" froward|strong="H8419" things|strong="H8419".
