Hebrew

ESV

1	When you sit down to eat with a ruler, observe carefully what is before you,
2	and put a knife to your throat if you are given to appetite.
3	Do not desire his delicacies, for they are deceptive food.
4	Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist.
5	When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven.
6	Do not eat the bread of a man who is stingy; do not desire his delicacies,
7	for he is like one who is inwardly calculating. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8	You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten, and waste your pleasant words.
9	Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the good sense of your words.
10	Do not move an ancient landmark or enter the fields of the fatherless,
11	for their Redeemer is strong; he will plead their cause against you.
12	Apply your heart to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge.
13	Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
14	If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.
15	My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad.
16	My inmost being will exult when your lips speak what is right.
17	Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the LORD all the day.
18	Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
19	Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your heart in the way.
20	Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat,
21	for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags.
22	Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23	Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
24	The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.
25	Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice.
26	My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.
27	For a prostitute is a deep pit; an adulteress is a narrow well.
28	She lies in wait like a robber and increases the traitors among mankind.
29	Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?
30	Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to try mixed wine.
31	Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly.
32	In the end it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder.
33	Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter perverse things.
34	You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast.
35	“They struck me,” you will say, “but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I must have another drink.”

NIV

1	When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you,
2	and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.
3	Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive.
4	Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint.
5	Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
6	Do not eat the food of a stingy man, do not crave his delicacies;
7	for he is the kind of man who is always thinking about the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8	You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.
9	Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words.
10	Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
11	for their Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you.
12	Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.
13	Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14	Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.
15	My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad;
16	my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.
17	Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD.
18	There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
19	Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.
20	Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat,
21	for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
22	Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23	Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding.
24	The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him.
25	May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice!
26	My son, give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways,
27	for a prostitute is a deep pit and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28	Like a bandit she lies in wait, and multiplies the unfaithful among men.
29	Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30	Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31	Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!
32	In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
33	Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things.
34	You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.
35	“They hit me,” you will say, “but I'm not hurt! They beat me, but I don't feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

NLT

1	While dining with a ruler, pay attention to what is put before you.
2	If you are a big eater, put a knife to your throat;
3	don't desire all the delicacies, for he might be trying to trick you.
4	Don't wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit.
5	In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.
6	Don't eat with people who are stingy; don't desire their delicacies.
7	They are always thinking about how much it costs. “Eat and drink,” they say, but they don't mean it.
8	You will throw up what little you've eaten, and your compliments will be wasted.
9	Don't waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice.
10	Don't cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers; don't take the land of defenseless orphans.
11	For their Redeemer is strong; he himself will bring their charges against you.
12	Commit yourself to instruction; listen carefully to words of knowledge.
13	Don't fail to discipline your children. They won't die if you spank them.
14	Physical discipline may well save them from death.
15	My child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice!
16	Everything in me will celebrate when you speak what is right.
17	Don't envy sinners, but always continue to fear the LORD.
18	You will be rewarded for this; your hope will not be disappointed.
19	My child, listen and be wise: Keep your heart on the right course.
20	Do not carouse with drunkards or feast with gluttons,
21	for they are on their way to poverty, and too much sleep clothes them in rags.
22	Listen to your father, who gave you life, and don't despise your mother when she is old.
23	Get the truth and never sell it; also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.
24	The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise.
25	So give your father and mother joy! May she who gave you birth be happy.
26	O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.
27	A prostitute is a dangerous trap; a promiscuous woman is as dangerous as falling into a narrow well.
28	She hides and waits like a robber, eager to make more men unfaithful.
29	Who has anguish? Who has sorrow? Who is always fighting? Who is always complaining? Who has unnecessary bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30	It is the one who spends long hours in the taverns, trying out new drinks.
31	Don't gaze at the wine, seeing how red it is, how it sparkles in the cup, how smoothly it goes down.
32	For in the end it bites like a poisonous snake; it stings like a viper.
33	You will see hallucinations, and you will say crazy things.
34	You will stagger like a sailor tossed at sea, clinging to a swaying mast.
35	And you will say, “They hit me, but I didn't feel it. I didn't even know it when they beat me up. When will I wake up so I can look for another drink?”

KJV

1	When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
2	And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3	Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4	Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5	Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6	Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7	For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8	The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9	Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10	Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11	For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
12	Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13	Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14	Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15	My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16	Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17	Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18	For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19	Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20	Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21	For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22	Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23	Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24	The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25	Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26	My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27	For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28	She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
29	Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30	They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31	Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32	At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33	Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34	Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35	They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
