Verse
Proverbs - ch 23 v 21 - 35
- for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
- Listen to your father who gave you life, and don't despise your mother when she is old.
- Buy the truth, and don't sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
- The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
- Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!
- My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.
- For a prostitute is a deep pit; and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
- Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the unfaithful among men.
- Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
- Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek out mixed wine.
- Don't look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.
- In the end, it bites like a snake, and poisons like a viper.
- Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
- Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging:
- "They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don't feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another."
