Verse
Proverbs - ch 23 v 21 - 35
- Because they that give themselves to drinking, and that club together shall be consumed; and drowsiness shall be clothed with rags.
- Hearken to thy father, that beget thee: and despise not thy mother when she is old.
- Buy truth, and do not sell wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
- The father of the just rejoiceth greatly: he that hath begotten a wise son, shall have joy in him.
- Let thy father, and thy mother be joyful, and let her rejoice that bore thee.
- My son, give me thy heart: and let thy eyes keep my ways.
- For a harlot is a deep ditch: and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
- She lieth in wait in the way as a robber, and him whom she shall see unwary, she will kill.
- Who hath woe? whose father hath woe? who hath contentions? who falls into pits? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
- Surely they that pass their time in wine, and study to drink of their cups.
- Look not upon the wine when it is yellow, when the colour thereof shineth in the glass: it goeth in pleasantly,
- But in the end, it will bite like a snake, and will spread abroad poison like a basilisk.
- Thy eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall utter perverse things.
- And thou shalt be as one sleeping in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot fast asleep, when the stern is lost.
- And thou shalt say: They have beaten me, but I was not sensible of pain: they drew me, and I felt not: when shall I awake, and find wine again?
