As soon as your eyes fly to it, it disappears,
for it makes wings for itself
and flies like an eagle to the sky.
for it’s like someone calculating inwardly.[fn]
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
but his heart is not with you.
Don’t move an ancient boundary marker,
and don’t encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
Don’t withhold discipline from a youth;
if you punish him with a rod, he will not die.
Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine
or with those who gorge themselves on meat.
For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor,
and grogginess will clothe them in rags.
Listen to your father who gave you life,
and don’t despise your mother when[fn] she is old.
The father of a righteous son will rejoice greatly,
and one who fathers a wise son will delight in him.
indeed, she sets an ambush like a robber
and increases the number of unfaithful people.
Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has conflicts? Who has complaints?
Who has wounds for no reason?
Who has red eyes?
Don’t gaze at wine because it is red,
because it gleams in the cup
and goes down smoothly.
You’ll be like someone sleeping out at sea
or lying down on the top of a ship’s mast.
