1 Have they made thee ruler? be not lifted up: be among them as one of them. | 1 If you are chosen to preside at dinner, be not puffed up, but with the guests be as one of themselves; Take care of them first before you sit down; |
2 Have care of them, and so sit down, and when thou hast acquitted thyself of all thy charge, take thy place : | 2 when you have fulfilled your duty, then take your place, To share in their joy and win praise for your hospitality. |
3 That thou mayst rejoice for them, and receive a crown as an ornament of grace, and get the honour of the contribution. | 3 Being older, you may talk; that is only your right, but temper your wisdom, not to disturb the singing. |
4 Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee, | 4 When wine is present, do not pour out discourse, and flaunt not your wisdom at the wrong time. |
5 To speak the first word with care knowledge, and hinder not music. | 5 Like a seal of carnelian in a setting of gold is a concert when wine is served. |
6 Where there is no hearing, pour out words, and be not lifted up out season with thy wisdom. | 6 Like a gold mounting with an emerald seal is string music with delicious wine. |
7 ,7A concert of music in a banquet wine is as a carbuncle set in gold. | 7 Young man, speak only when necessary, when they have asked you more than once; |
8 As a signet of an emerald in a work of gold: so is the melody of music with pleasant and moderate wine. | 8 Be brief, but say much in those few words, be like the wise man, taciturn. |
9 Hear in silence, and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee. | 9 When among your elders be not forward, and with officials be not too insistent. |
10 Young man, scarcely speak in thy own cause. | 10 Like the lightning that flashes before a storm is the esteem that shines on modesty. |
11 If thou be asked twice, let thy answer be short. | 11 When it is time to leave, tarry not; be off for home! There take your ease, |
12 In many things be as if thou wert ignorant, and hear in silence and withal seeking. | 12 And there enjoy doing as you wish, but without sin or words of pride. |
13 In the company of great men bake not upon thee: and when the ancients are present, speak not much. | 13 Above all, give praise to your Creator, who showers his favors upon you. |
14 Before a storm goeth lightning: and before shamefacedness goeth favour: and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee. | 14 He who would find God must accept discipline; he who seeks him obtains his request. |
15 And at the time of rising be not slack: but be first to run home to thy house, and there withdraw thyself, and there take thy pastime. | 15 He who studies the law masters it, but the hypocrite finds it a trap. |
16 And do what thou hast a mind, but not in sin or proud speech. | 16 His judgment is sound who fears the LORD; out of obscurity he draws forth a clear plan. |
17 And for all these things bless the Lord, that made thee, and that replenisheth thee with all his good things. | 17 The sinner turns aside reproof and distorts the law to suit his purpose. |
18 He that feareth the Lord, will receive his discipline: and they that will seek him early, shall find a blessing. | 18 The thoughtful man will not neglect direction; the proud and insolent man is deterred by nothing. |
19 He that seeketh the law, shall be filled with it: and he that dealeth deceitfully, shall meet with a stumblingblock therein. | 19 Do nothing without counsel, and then you need have no regrets. |
20 They that fear the Lord, shall find just judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light. | 20 Go not on a way that is set with snares, and let not the same thing trip you twice. |
21 A sinful man will flee reproof, and will find an excuse according to his will. | 21 Be not too sure even of smooth roads, |
22 A man of counsel will not neglect understanding, a strange and proud man will not dread fear: | 22 be careful on all your paths. |
23 Even after he hath done with fear without counsel, he shall be controlled by the things of his own seeking. | 23 Whatever you do, be on your guard, for in this way you will keep the commandments. |
24 My son, do thou nothing without counsel, and thou shalt not repent when thou hast done. | 24 He who keeps the law preserves himself; and he who trusts in the LORD shall not be put to shame. |
25 Go not in the way of ruin, and thou shalt not stumble against the stones; trust not thyself to a rugged may, lest thou set a stumblingblock to thy soul. | |
26 And beware of thy own children, and take heed of them of thy household. | |
27 In every work of thine regard thy soul in faith: for this is the keeping of the commandments. | |
28 He that believeth God, taketh heed to the commandments: and he that trusteth in him, shall fare never the worse. |
