Proverbs 23:1-8YLT with Strong's

Par ▾

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. |
