The Proverbs Of Solomon 23:3-19 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

3. Do not be desirous of his dainties; for they are deceitful food.

4. Do not labour to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom.

5. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon riches which are not? For they shall certainly make themselves wings; they shall fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

6. Do not eat the bread of anyone who has an evil eye, neither desire his dainty foods;

7. for as he thinks in his soul, so is he; Eat and drink, he shall say unto thee, but his heart is not with thee.

8. Didst thou eat thy part? Thou shalt vomit it up and lose thy sweet words.

9. Do not speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the prudence of thy words.

10. Do not remove the old landmark, and do not enter into the inheritance of the fatherless:

11. For their redeemer is mighty; he shall judge their cause against thee.

12. Apply thine heart unto chastening and thine ears to the words of wisdom.

13. Do not withhold correction from the child; for if thou shall beat him with the rod, he shall not die.

14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod and shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.

15. My son, if thy heart is wise, my heart shall also rejoice;

16. my kidneys shall also rejoice when thy lips speak right things.

17. Let not thy heart envy sinners, but persevere in the fear of the Lord all day long.

18. For surely there is an end, and thy hope shall not be cut off.

19. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and straighten thy heart in the way.
