Proverbs, Chapter 22, verses 17-29

¹⁷

Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your mind to my knowledge;

¹⁸

For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
^jThat they may be ready on your lips.

¹⁹

So that your trust may be in the LORD,
I have^ktaught you today, even you.

²⁰

Have I not written to you^lexcellent things
Of counsels and knowledge,

²¹

To make you know the^mcertainty of the words of truth
That you mayⁿcorrectly answer him who sent you?

²²

Do not rob the poor because he is poor,
Or crush the afflicted at the gate;

²³

For the LORD will plead their case
And^otake the life of those who rob them.

²⁴

Do not associate with a man given to anger;
Or go with a hot-tempered man,

²⁵

Or you will learn his ways
And^pfind a snare for yourself.

²⁶

Do not be among those who give^qpledges,
Among those who become guarantors for debts.

²⁷

If you have nothing with which to pay,
Why should he take your bed from under you?

²⁸

Do not move the ancient boundary
Which your fathers have set.

²⁹

Do you see a man skilled in his work?
He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before obscure men.

Proverbs, Chapter 23, verses 1-11

When you sit down to dine with a ruler,
Consider carefully^awhat is before you,

And put a knife to your throat
If you are a man of great appetite.

Do not desire his delicacies,
For it is deceptive food.

⁴

Do not weary yourself to gain wealth,
Cease from your^bconsideration of it.

⁵

^cWhen you set your eyes on it, it is gone.
For wealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

⁶

Do not eat the bread of^da selfish man,
Or desire his delicacies;

⁷

For as he^ethinks within himself, so he is.
He says to you, “Eat and drink!”
But his heart is not with you.

⁸

You will vomit up^fthe morsel you have eaten,
And waste your^gcompliments.

⁹

Do not speak in the^hhearing of a fool,
For he will despise the wisdom of your words.

¹⁰

Do not move the ancient boundary
Or go into the fields of the fatherless,

¹¹

For their Redeemer is strong;
He will plead their case against you.
