fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently him that is before thee; |

| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food. |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom. |

fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For `riches' certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven. |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties: |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee. |

| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Remove not the ancient landmark; And enter not into the fields of the fatherless: |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For their Redeemer is strong; He will plead their cause against thee. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Apply thy heart unto instruction, And thine ears to the words of knowledge. |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Withhold not correction from the child; `For' if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die. |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData My son, if thy heart be wise, My heart will be glad, even mine: |

fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Yea, my heart will rejoice, When thy lips speak right things. |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Let not thy heart envy sinners; But `be thou' in the fear of Jehovah all the day long: |

fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Be not among winebibbers, Among gluttonous eaters of flesh: |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; And drowsiness will clothe `a man' with rags. |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old. |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Buy the truth, and sell it not; `Yea', wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. |
| 24 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; And he that begetteth a wise child will have joy of him. |
| 25 |

fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber, And increaseth the treacherous among men. |
| 29 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? Who hath complaining? who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? |
