1	When thou sittest# to eat# with a ruler# , consider# diligently# what is before thee:
			2	And put# a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
			3	Be not desirous# of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
			4	Labour# not to be rich# : cease# from thine own wisdom.
			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. [set...: Heb. cause thine eyes to fly upon]
			6	Eat# thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire# thou his dainty meats:
			7	For as he thinketh# in his heart, so is he: Eat# and drink# , saith# he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
			8	The morsel which thou hast eaten# shalt thou vomit up# , and lose# thy sweet words.
			9	Speak# not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise# the wisdom of thy words.
			10	Remove# not the old landmark; and enter# not into the fields of the fatherless: [landmark: or, bound]
			11	For their redeemer# is mighty; he shall plead# their cause with thee.
			12	Apply# thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
			13	Withhold# not correction from the child: for if thou beatest# him with the rod, he shall not die# .
			14	Thou shalt beat# him with the rod, and shalt deliver# his soul from hell.
			15	My son, if thine heart be wise# , my heart shall rejoice# , even mine. [even...: or, even I will rejoice]
			16	Yea, my reins shall rejoice# , when thy lips speak# right things.
			17	Let not thine heart envy# sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
			18	For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off# . [end: or, reward]
			19	Hear# thou, my son, and be wise# , and guide# thine heart in the way.
			20	Be not among winebibbers# # ; among riotous eaters# of flesh: [of flesh: Heb. of their flesh]
			21	For the drunkard# and the glutton# shall come to poverty# : and drowsiness shall clothe# a man with rags.
			22	Hearken# unto thy father that begat# thee, and despise# not thy mother when she is old# .
			23	Buy# the truth, and sell# it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
			24	The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice# : and he that begetteth# a wise child shall have joy# of him.
			25	Thy father and thy mother shall be glad# , and she that bare# thee shall rejoice# .
			26	My son, give# me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe# # # my ways.
			27	For a whore# is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
			28	She also lieth in wait# as for a prey, and increaseth# the transgressors# among men. [as for...: or, as a robber]
			29	Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions# # ? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
			30	They that tarry long# at the wine; they that go# to seek# mixed wine.
			31	Look# not thou upon the wine when it is red# , when it giveth# his colour in the cup# # , when it moveth# itself aright.
			32	At the last it biteth# like a serpent, and stingeth# like an adder. [an...: or, a cockatrice]
			33	Thine eyes shall behold# strange women# , and thine heart shall utter# perverse things.
			34	Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down# in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth# upon the top of a mast. [the midst...: Heb. the heart of the sea]
			35	They have stricken# me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick# ; they have beaten# me, and I felt# it not: when shall I awake# ? I will seek# it yet# again. [I felt...: Heb. I knew it not]
