Proverbs 23:1-15 - ESV - When you sit down to eat with a ruler, observe ...

1 When you sit down to eat with a ruler, observe carefully what^a is before you,

2 and put a knife to your throat if you are given to appetite.

3 ¹Do not desire his delicacies, for they are deceptive food.

4 ²Do not toil to acquire wealth; ³be discerning enough to desist.

5 When your eyes light on it, it is gone, ⁴for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven.

6 ⁵Do not eat the bread of a man who is ⁶stingy;^b ⁷do not desire his delicacies,

7 for he is like one who is inwardly calculating.^c "Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his ⁸heart 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 ⁹Do not move an ancient landmark or enter the fields of the fatherless,

11 for their ¹⁰Redeemer is strong; he will ¹¹plead their cause against you.

12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge.

13 Do not withhold ¹²discipline from a child; ¹³if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.

14 If you strike him with the rod, you will ¹⁴save his soul from Sheol.

15 ¹⁵My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad.
