Proverbs 23:16-35 - ESV - My inmost being will exult when your lips speak...

16 My ¹inmost being^a will exult when your lips speak ²what is right.

17 Let not your heart ³envy sinners, but continue in ⁴the fear of the LORD all the day.

18 Surely ⁵there is a future, and your ⁶hope will not be cut off.

19 Hear, my son, and ⁷be wise, and ⁸direct your heart in the way.

20 Be not among ⁹drunkards^b or among ¹⁰gluttonous eaters of meat,

21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and ¹¹slumber will clothe them with rags

22 ¹²Listen to your father who gave you life, ¹³and do not despise your mother when she is old.

23 ¹⁴Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

24 ¹⁵The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.

25 ¹⁶Let your father and mother be glad; let ¹⁷her who bore you rejoice.

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

27 For a prostitute is ¹⁸a deep pit; ¹⁹an adulteress^d is a narrow ²⁰well.

28 ²¹She lies in wait like a robber and increases the traitors among mankind.

29 ²²Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has ²³wounds without cause? Who has ²⁴redness of eyes?

30 Those who ²⁵tarry long over wine; those who go to try ²⁶mixed 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 ²⁷bites like a serpent and stings like an adder.

33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter ²⁸perverse 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.^e

35 "They ²⁹struck me," you will say,^f"but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I ³⁰must have another drink."

Provérbios 23:16 e exultará o meu coração, quando os teus lábios falarem coisas retas.

Proverbs 23:16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

Proverbs 23:16 Yes, my inmost being will rejoice When your lips speak right things.
