Proverbs Chapter 23 - King James Strong Number Version

1: When thou sittest <H3427> to eat <H3898> with a ruler, <H4910> consider <H0995> diligently <H0995> what [is] before <H6440> thee:
2: And put <H7760> a knife <H7915> to thy throat, <H3930> if thou [be] a man given <H1167> to appetite. <H5315>
3: Be not desirous <H0183> of his dainties: <H4303> for they [are] deceitful <H3577> meat. <H3899>
4: Labour <H3021> not to be rich: <H6238> cease <H2308> from thine own wisdom. <H0998>
5: Wilt thou set <H5774> thine eyes <H5869> upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly <H6213> make <H6213> themselves wings; <H3671> they fly away <H5774> as an eagle <H5404> toward heaven. <H8064>
6: Eat <H3898> thou not the bread <H3899> of [him that hath] an evil <H7451> eye, <H5869> neither desire <H0183> thou his dainty meats: <H4303>
7: For as he thinketh <H8176> in his heart, <H5315> so [is] he: Eat <H0398> and drink, <H8354> saith <H0559> he to thee; but his heart <H3820> [is] not with thee.
8: The morsel <H6595> [which] thou hast eaten <H0398> shalt thou vomit up, <H6958> and lose <H7843> thy sweet <H5273> words. <H1697>
9: Speak <H1696> not in the ears <H0241> of a fool: <H3684> for he will despise <H0936> the wisdom <H7922> of thy words. <H4405>
10: Remove <H5253> not the old <H5769> landmark; <H1366> and enter <H0935> not into the fields <H7704> of the fatherless: <H3490>
11: For their redeemer <H1350> [is] mighty; <H2389> he shall plead <H7378> their cause <H7379> with thee.
12: Apply <H0935> thine heart <H3820> unto instruction, <H4148> and thine ears <H0241> to the words <H0561> of knowledge. <H1847>
13: Withhold <H4513> not correction <H4148> from the child: <H5288> for [if] thou beatest <H5221> him with the rod, <H7626> he shall not die. <H4191>
14: Thou shalt beat <H5221> him with the rod, <H7626> and shalt deliver <H5337> his soul <H5315> from hell. <H7585>
15: My son, <H1121> if thine heart <H3820> be wise, <H2449> my heart <H3820> shall rejoice, <H8055> even mine. <H0589>
16: Yea, my reins <H3629> shall rejoice, <H5937> when thy lips <H8193> speak <H1696> right things. <H4339>
17: Let not thine heart <H3820> envy <H7065> sinners: <H2400> but [be thou] in the fear <H3374> of the LORD <H3068> all the day <H3117> long.
18: For surely there is <H3426> an end; <H0319> and thine expectation <H8615> shall not be cut off. <H3772>
19: Hear <H8085> thou, my son, <H1121> and be wise, <H2449> and guide <H0833> thine heart <H3820> in the way. <H1870>
20: Be not among winebibbers; <H3196> <H5433> among riotous eaters <H2151> of flesh: <H1320>
21: For the drunkard <H5433> and the glutton <H2151> shall come to poverty: <H3423> and drowsiness <H5124> shall clothe <H3847> [a man] with rags. <H7168>
22: Hearken <H8085> unto thy father <H0001> that begat <H3205> thee, and despise <H0936> not thy mother <H0517> when she is old. <H2204>
23: Buy <H7069> the truth, <H0571> and sell <H4376> [it] not; [also] wisdom, <H2451> and instruction, <H4148> and understanding. <H0998>
24: The father <H0001> of the righteous <H6662> shall greatly <H1524> rejoice: <H1523> and he that begetteth <H3205> a wise <H2450> [child] shall have joy <H8055> of him.
25: Thy father <H0001> and thy mother <H0517> shall be glad, <H8055> and she that bare <H3205> thee shall rejoice. <H1523>
26: My son, <H1121> give <H5414> me thine heart, <H3820> and let thine eyes <H5869> observe <H7521> <H5341> my ways. <H1870>
27: For a whore <H2181> [is] a deep <H6013> ditch; <H7745> and a strange <H5237> woman [is] a narrow <H6862> pit. <H0875>
28: She also lieth in wait <H0693> as [for] a prey, <H2863> and increaseth <H3254> the transgressors <H0898> among men. <H0120>
29: Who hath woe? <H0188> who hath sorrow? <H0017> who hath contentions? <H4079> <H4066> who hath babbling? <H7879> who hath wounds <H6482> without cause? <H2600> who hath redness <H2448> of eyes? <H5869>
30: They that tarry long <H0309> at the wine; <H3196> they that go <H0935> to seek <H2713> mixed wine. <H4469>
31: Look <H7200> not thou upon the wine <H3196> when it is red, <H0119> when it giveth <H5414> his colour <H5869> in the cup, <H3563> <H3599> [when] it moveth <H1980> itself aright. <H4339>
32: At the last <H0319> it biteth <H5391> like a serpent, <H5175> and stingeth <H6567> like an adder. <H6848>
33: Thine eyes <H5869> shall behold <H7200> strange women, <H2114> and thine heart <H3820> shall utter <H1696> perverse things. <H8419>
34: Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down <H7901> in the midst <H3820> of the sea, <H3220> or as he that lieth <H7901> upon the top <H7218> of a mast. <H2260>
35: They have stricken <H5221> me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick; <H2470> they have beaten <H1986> me, [and] I felt <H3045> [it] not: when shall I awake? <H6974> I will seek <H1245> it yet <H3254> again.
