1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which [is] before thee, 2 And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a man of appetite. 3 Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it [is] lying food. 4 Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not. 5 For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens. 6 Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties, 7 For as he hath thought in his soul, so [is] he, ‘Eat and drink,’ saith he to thee, And his heart [is] not with thee. 8 Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that [are] sweet. 9 In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words. 10 Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not, 11 For their Redeemer [is] strong, He doth plead their cause with thee. 12 Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to sayings of knowledge. 13 Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not. 14 Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest. |
