5 When your eyes light on it, it is gone, ¹for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven.

6 ²Do not eat the bread of a man who is ³stingy;^a ⁴do not desire his delicacies,

7 for he is like one who is inwardly calculating.^b "Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his ⁵heart is not with you.

8 You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten, and waste your pleasant words.

9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the good sense of your words.

10 ⁶Do not move an ancient landmark or enter the fields of the fatherless,

11 for their ⁷Redeemer is strong; he will ⁸plead their cause against you.

12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge.

13 Do not withhold ⁹discipline from a child; ¹⁰if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.

14 If you strike him with the rod, you will ¹¹save his soul from Sheol.

15 ¹²My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad.

16 My ¹³inmost being^c will exult when your lips speak ¹⁴what is right.

17 Let not your heart ¹⁵envy sinners, but continue in ¹⁶the fear of the LORD all the day.

18 Surely ¹⁷there is a future, and your ¹⁸hope will not be cut off.

19 Hear, my son, and ¹⁹be wise, and ²⁰direct your heart in the way.

20 Be not among ²¹drunkards^d or among ²²gluttonous eaters of meat,

21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and ²³slumber will clothe them with rags

22 ²⁴Listen to your father who gave you life, ²⁵and do not despise your mother when she is old.

23 ²⁶Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

24 ²⁷The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.

25 ²⁸Let your father and mother be glad; let ²⁹her who bore you rejoice.

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

27 For a prostitute is ³⁰a deep pit; ³¹an adulteress^f is a narrow ³²well.

28 ³³She lies in wait like a robber and increases the traitors among mankind.

29 ³⁴Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has ³⁵wounds without cause? Who has ³⁶redness of eyes?

30 Those who ³⁷tarry long over wine; those who go to try ³⁸mixed wine.

31 Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly.

32 In the end it ³⁹bites like a serpent and stings like an adder.

33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter ⁴⁰perverse things.

34 You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast.^g

35 "They ⁴¹struck me," you will say,^h"but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I ⁴²must have another drink."

Provérbios 23:5 Fitando tu os olhos nas riquezas, elas se vão; pois fazem para si asas, como a águia, voam para o céu.

Proverbs 23:5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Proverbs 23:5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

Provérbios 23:5 As riquezas desaparecem assim que você as contempla;elas criam asase voam como águias pelo céu.
