1 Have they made you ruler of a feast? Don’t be lifted up. Be among them as one of them. Take care of them first, and then sit down.
·
2 And when you have done all your duties, take your place, that you may be gladdened on their account, and receive a wreath for your good service.
·
3 Speak, you who are older, for it’s your right, but with sound knowledge; and don’t interrupt the music.
·
4 Don’t pour out talk where there is a performance of music. Don’t display your wisdom at the wrong time.
·
5 As a ruby signet in a setting of gold, so is a music concert at a wine banquet.
·
6 As an emerald signet in a work of gold, so is musical melody with pleasant wine.
·
7 Speak, young man, if you are obliged to, but no more than twice, and only if asked.
·
8 Sum up your speech, many things in few words. Be as one who knows and yet holds his tongue.
·
9 When among great men, don’t behave as their equal. When another is speaking, don’t babble.
·
10 Lightning speeds before thunder. Approval goes before one who is modest.
·
11 Rise up in good time, and don’t be last. Go home quickly and don’t loiter
·
12 Amuse yourself there and do what is in your heart. Don’t sin by proud speech.
·
13 For these things bless your Maker, who gives you to drink freely of his good things.
·
14 He who fears the Lord will receive discipline. Those who seek him early will find favor.
·
15 He who seeks the law shall be filled with it, but the hypocrite will stumble at it.
·
16 Those who fear the Lord will find true judgment, and will kindle righteous acts like a light.
·
17 A sinful man shuns reproof, and will find a judgment according to his will.
·
18 A sensible person won’t neglect a thought. An insolent and proud man won’t crouch in fear, even after he has done a thing by himself without counsel.
·
19 Do nothing without counsel, but when you have acted, don’t regret it.
·
20 Don’t go in a way of conflict. Don’t stumble in stony places.
·
21 Don’t be overconfident on a smooth road.
·
22 Beware of your own children.
·
23 In every work guard your own soul, for this is the keeping of the commandments.
·
24 He who believes the law gives heed to the commandment. He who trusts in the Lord will suffer no loss.
