절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	When you are invited to eat with a king, use your best manners.	When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
2	Don't go and stuff yourself! That would be just the same as cutting your throat.	And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3	Don't be greedy for all of that fancy food! It may not be so tasty.	Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4	Give up trying so hard to get rich.	Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5	Your money flies away before you know it, just like an eagle suddenly taking off.	Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6	Don't accept an invitation to eat a selfish person's food, no matter how good it is.	Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7	People like that take note of how much you eat. They say, “Take all you want!” But they don't mean it.	For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8	Each bite will come back up, and all your kind words will be wasted.	The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9	Don't talk to fools— they will make fun of you.	Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10	Don't move a boundary marker or take the land that belongs to orphans.	Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11	God All-Powerful is there to defend them against you.	For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
12	Listen to instruction and do your best to learn.	Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13	Don't fail to correct your children. You won't kill them by being firm,	Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14	and it may even save their lives.	Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15	My children, if you show good sense, I will be happy,	My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16	and if you are truthful, I will really be glad.	Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17	Don't be jealous of sinners, but always honor the Lord.	Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
18	Then you will truly have hope for the future.	For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19	Listen to me, my children! Be wise and have enough sense to follow the right path.	Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20	Don't be a heavy drinker or stuff yourself with food.	Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21	It will make you feel drowsy, and you will end up poor with only rags to wear.	For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22	Pay attention to your father, and don't neglect your mother when she grows old.	Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23	Invest in truth and wisdom, discipline and good sense, and don't part with them.	Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24	Make your father truly happy by living right and showing sound judgment.	The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25	Make your parents proud, especially your mother.	Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26	My son, pay close attention, and gladly follow my example.	My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27	Bad women and unfaithful wives are like a deep pit—	For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28	they are waiting to attack you like a gang of robbers with victim after victim.	She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
29	Who is always in trouble? Who argues and fights? Who has cuts and bruises? Whose eyes are red?	Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30	Everyone who stays up late, having just one more drink.	They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31	Don't even look at that colorful stuff bubbling up in the glass! It goes down so easily,	Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32	but later it bites like a poisonous snake.	At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33	You will see weird things, and your mind will play tricks on you.	Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34	You will feel tossed about like someone trying to sleep on a ship in a storm.	Yea, 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.
35	You will be bruised all over, without even remembering how it all happened. And you will lie awake asking, “When will morning come, so I can drink some more?”	They 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.
