Do not go along with someone who has a hot temper. 25 If you do, you will learn his ways and set a trap for yourself. [4] 26 Do not be among those who shake hands to guarantee debts. 27 If you do not have enough to repay, why should your bed be taken out from under you? 28 Do not move an ancient boundary marker     that your ancestors made. 29 Do you see a person who is efficient in his work? He will serve kings. He will not serve nobodies. [5] Proverbs 23 1 When you sit down to eat with a ruler, pay close attention to what is put in front of you, 2 and put a knife to your throat if you have a big appetite. 3 Do not crave his delicious food. That food is deceptive. 4 Do not wear yourself out getting rich. Have the good judgment to know when to stop. 5 Will your eyes get a glimpse of wealth before it is gone? No, it will sprout wings for itself. Like an eagle it will fly away into the sky. 6 Do not eat the food of a miser. Do not crave his delicious food, 7 because he is calculating how much things cost him. So when he says to you, “Eat and drink,” he does not mean it. 8 You will vomit up the little bit you ate and spoil your pleasant conversation. 9 Do not speak within earshot of a fool, because he will despise your sensible words. 10 Do not move an ancient boundary marker, and do not enter the fields of the fatherless, 11 because their Redeemer is strong. He will defend their cause against you. 12 Apply your heart to discipline and your ear to words that give knowledge. 13 Do not withhold discipline from a child, for if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. 14 Strik
