it is gone: for wealth takes to itself wings, like an eagle in flight up to heaven. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> Do not take the food of him who has an evil eye, or have any desire for his delicate meat: <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he: Take food and drink, he says to you; but his heart is not with you. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> The food which you have taken will come up again, and your pleasing words will be wasted. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> Say nothing in the hearing of a foolish man, for he will put no value on the wisdom of your words. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Do not let the landmark of the widow be moved, and do not go into the fields of those who have no father; <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> For their saviour is strong, and he will take up their cause against you. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> Give your heart to teaching, and your ears to the words of knowledge. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Give him blows with the rod, and keep his soul safe from the underworld. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> My son, if your heart becomes wise, I, even I, will be glad in heart; <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And my thoughts in me will be full of joy when your lips say right things. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Have no envy of sinners in your heart, but keep in the fear of the Lord all through the day; <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> For without doubt there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Give ear, my son, and be wise, guiding your heart in the right way. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Do not be among those who give themselves to wine-drinking, or among those who make themselves full with meat: <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> For those who take delight in drink and feasting will come to be in need; and through love of sleep a man will be poorly clothed. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> Get for yourself that which is true, and do not let it go for money; get wisdom and teaching and good sense. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> The father of the upright man will be glad, and he who has a wise child will have joy because of him. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Let your father and your mother be glad, let her who gave you birth have joy. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes take delight in my ways. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> For a loose woman is a deep hollow, and a strange woman is a narrow water-hole. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> Yes, she is waiting secretly like a beast for its food, and deceit by her is increased among men. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> Who says, Oh! who says, Ah! who has violent arguments, who has grief, who has wounds without cause, whose eyes are dark? <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> Those who are seated late over the wine: those who go looking for mixed wine. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> Keep your eyes from looking on the wine when it is red, when its colour is bright in the cup, when it goes smoothly down: <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> In the end, its bite is like that of a snake, its wound like the wound of a poison-snake. <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> Your eyes will see strange things, and you will say twisted things. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> Yes, you will be like him who takes his rest on the sea, or on the top of a sail-support. <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> They have overcome me, you will say, and I have no pain; they gave me blows without my feeling them: when will I be awake from my wine? I will go after it again. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n
