Proverbs 23:6-35 - ESV - Do not eat the bread of a man who is stingy; do...

6 ¹Do not eat the bread of a man who is ²stingy;^a ³do not desire his delicacies,

7 for he is like one who is inwardly calculating.^b "Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his ⁴heart 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 ⁵Do not move an ancient landmark or enter the fields of the fatherless,

11 for their ⁶Redeemer is strong; he will ⁷plead their cause against you.

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

13 Do not withhold ⁸discipline from a child; ⁹if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.

14 If you strike him with the rod, you will ¹⁰save his soul from Sheol.

15 ¹¹My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad.

16 My ¹²inmost being^c will exult when your lips speak ¹³what is right.

17 Let not your heart ¹⁴envy sinners, but continue in ¹⁵the fear of the LORD all the day.

18 Surely ¹⁶there is a future, and your ¹⁷hope will not be cut off.

19 Hear, my son, and ¹⁸be wise, and ¹⁹direct your heart in the way.

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

21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and ²²slumber will clothe them with rags

22 ²³Listen to your father who gave you life, ²⁴and do not despise your mother when she is old.

23 ²⁵Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

24 ²⁶The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.

25 ²⁷Let your father and mother be glad; let ²⁸her who bore you rejoice.

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

27 For a prostitute is ²⁹a deep pit; ³⁰an adulteress^f is a narrow ³¹well.

28 ³²She lies in wait like a robber and increases the traitors among mankind.

29 ³³Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has ³⁴wounds without cause? Who has ³⁵redness of eyes?

30 Those who ³⁶tarry long over wine; those who go to try ³⁷mixed 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 ³⁸bites like a serpent and stings like an adder.

33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter ³⁹perverse 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 ⁴⁰struck me," you will say,^h"but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I ⁴¹must have another drink."
