Proverbs 23

Gen Z: Proverbs 23

1When you chill to eat with a boss, peep what’s on your plate, fr.

2If you’re all about that munchie life, it’s like putting a knife to your own throat, no cap.

3Don’t be thirsty for his fancy food; it’s just sus vibes.

4Don’t grind just to flex riches; chill out on your own wisdom, it’s a vibe.

5Why you trippin’ on stuff that ain’t real? Money just bounces like it’s got wings, flying away like an eagle.

6Don’t munch on the bread of someone shady, and skip his fancy snacks, periodt.

7As he thinks in his heart, that’s who he is: “Eat and drink,” he says, but his heart’s not vibing with you.

8You’ll just end up spitting out what you ate and losing those sweet words, fr.

9Don’t waste your wisdom on a fool; he’ll just roast your words.

10Don’t move the old boundaries; leave the fields of the orphans alone, that’s facts.

11Their redeemer's got mad power; He'll back them up, no cap.

12Keep your heart on that knowledge grind, and listen up for the wisdom drops.

13Don't hold back the real talk from the kid; if you give him a little discipline, he'll be straight.

14You gotta discipline him, and it’ll save him from the bad vibes.

15My dude, if you keep it wise, my heart's gonna be vibing with joy, fr.

16For real, my soul will be hyped when you speak the truth.

17Don’t let your heart be jelly of the sinners; just keep it real with God all day, periodt.

18Trust, there's a light at the end; your hopes won't get ghosted.

19Listen up, my dude, and be smart; steer your heart on the right path.

20Don't roll with the party animals; steer clear of those who feast like there's no tomorrow.

21Drunkards and foodies gonna end up broke, and being lazy just wraps you in rags, no cap.

22Listen up to your dad who made you, and don’t sleep on your mom when she’s getting old, fr.

23Cop the truth and don’t trade it away; wisdom, instruction, and understanding are all bussin.

24A dad of the righteous is gonna vibe hard with joy, and raising a wise kid is straight-up lit.

25Your parents will be hyped, and your mom who had you will be living her best life.

26Yo, my dude, give me your heart, and keep your eyes on my moves, periodt.

27A freak is like a deep pit; and a sketchy girl is just a narrow trap, sus.

28She’s waiting to pounce like a predator, and she’s just making more trouble among guys.

29Who’s out here sad? Who’s got drama? Who’s always arguing? Who’s just rambling? Who’s got random cuts? Who’s got bloodshot eyes?

30Those who chill too long with the wine; they’re the ones looking for that mixed drink.

31Don’t even look at that wine when it’s all red and chillin’ in the cup, just vibin’.

32In the end, it bites like a snake and hits you hard, no cap.

33Your eyes gonna see some wild girls, and your heart’s gonna say some sus stuff.

34For real, you’ll feel like someone chillin’ in the ocean or hanging on the top of a mast.

35They hit me, and I’m like, “I’m good,” they beat me, and I didn’t even feel it: when am I gonna wake up? I’m gonna chase that again, periodt.

KJV: Proverbs 23

1When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:

2And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

3Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

4Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

6Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

8The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

9Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

10Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

11For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

12Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

15My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

16Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

17Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

18For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

20Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

22Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

23Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

24The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

25Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

26My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

27For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

28She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

29Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

30They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

31Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

32At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

33Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

34Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

35They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
