Tua Palavra

|Proverbes 23:1| When you sit down to eat with a ruler, observe carefully what ¹ is before you,

|Proverbes 23:2| and put a knife to your throat if you have a big appetite.

|Proverbes 23:3| Do not desire the ruler’s ² delicacies, for they are deceptive food.

|Proverbes 23:4| Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to desist.

|Proverbes 23:5| When your eyes light upon it, it is gone; for suddenly it takes wings to itself, flying like an eagle toward heaven.

|Proverbes 23:6| Do not eat the bread of the stingy; do not desire their delicacies;

|Proverbes 23:7| for like a hair in the throat, so are they. ³ “Eat and drink!” they say to you; but they do not mean it.

|Proverbes 23:8| You will vomit up the little you have eaten, and you will waste your pleasant words.

|Proverbes 23:9| Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, who will only despise the wisdom of your words.
