Chapter — Douay-Rheims
Proverbs 23
1.When thou shalt sit to eat with a prince, consider diligently what is set before thy face:
2.And put a knife to thy throat, if it be so that thou have thy soul in thy own power.
3.Be not desirous of his meats, in which is the bread of deceit.
4.Labour not to be rich: but set bounds to thy prudence.

5.Lift not up thy eyes to riches which thou canst not have: because they shall make themselves wings like those of an eagle, and shall fly towards heaven.
6.Eat not with an envious man, and desire not his meats:
7.Because, like a soothsayer, and diviner, he thinketh that which he knoweth not. Eat and drink, will he say to thee: and his mind is not with thee.
8.The meats which thou hadst eaten, thou shalt vomit up: and shalt loose thy beautiful words.
9.Speak not in the ears of fools: because they will despise the instruction of thy speech.
10.Touch not the bounds of little ones: and enter not into the field of the fatherless:
11.For their near kinsman is strong: and he will judge their cause against thee.
12.Let thy heart apply itself to instruction and thy ears to words of knowledge.
13.Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die.

32.But in the end, it will bite like a snake, and will spread abroad poison like a basilisk.

34.And thou shalt be as one sleeping in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot fast asleep when the stern is lost.
35.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?
