1 If you sit to sup at the table of a prince, consider attentively the things set before you:
2 and apply your hand, knowing that it behoves you to prepare such [meats]: but if you are very insatiable,
3 desire not his provisions; for these belong to a false life.
4 If you are poor, measure not yourself with a rich man; but refrain yourself in your wisdom.
5 If you should fix your eye upon him, he will disappear; for wings like an eagle's are prepared for him, and he returns to the house of his master.
6 Sup not with an envious man, neither desire you his meats:
7 so he eats and drinks as if any one should swallow a hair, and do not bring him in to yourself, nor eat your morsel with him:
8 for he will vomit it up, and spoil your fair words.
9 Say nothing in the ears of a fool, lest at any time he sneer at your wise words.
10 Remove not the ancient landmarks; and enter not upon the possession of the fatherless:
11 for the Lord is their redeemer; he is mighty, and will plead their cause with you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction, and prepare your ears for words of discretion.
13 Refrain not from chastening a child; for if you beat him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 For you shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from death.
15 Son, if your heart be wise, you shall also gladden my heart;
16 and your lips shall converse with my lips, if they be right.
17 Let not your heart envy sinners: but be you in the fear of the Lord all the day.
18 For if you should keep these things, you shall have posterity; and your hope shall not be removed.
19 Hear, [my] son, and be wise, and rightly direct the thoughts of your heart.
20 Be not a wine-bibber, neither continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh:
21 for every drunkard and whoremonger shall be poor; and every sluggard shall clothe himself with tatters and ragged garments.
22 Listen, [my] son, to your father which begot you, and despise not [your mother] because she is grown old.
24 A righteous father brings up [his children] well; and his soul rejoices over a wise son.
25 Let your father and your mother rejoice over you, and let her that bore you be glad.
26 [My] son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.
27 For a strange house is a vessel full of holes; and a strange well is narrow.
28 For such a one shall perish suddenly; and every transgressor shall be cut off.
29 Who [has] woe? who trouble? who [has] quarrels? and who vexations and disputes? who [has] bruises without a cause? whose eyes are livid?
30 Are not those of them that stay long at wine? [are] not [those] of them that haunt [the places] where banquets are? Be not drunk with wine; but converse with just men, and converse [with them] openly.
31 For if you should set your eyes on bowls and cups, you shall afterwards go more naked than a pestle.
32 But at last [such a one] stretches himself out as one struck by a serpent, and venom is diffused through him as by a horned serpent.
33 Whenever your eyes shall behold a strange woman, then your mouth shall speak perverse things.
34 And you shall lie as in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot in a great storm.
35 And you shall say, They struck me, and I was not pained; and they mocked me, and I knew it not: when will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in company?

5 And the princess of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Beguile him, and see wherein his great strength [is], and wherewith we shall prevail against him, and bind him to humble him; and we will give you each eleven hundred [pieces] of silver.
6 And Dalida said to Sampson, Tell me, I pray you, wherein [is] your great strength, and wherewith you shall be bound that you may be humbled.
7 And Sampson said to her, If they bind me with seven moist cords that have not been spoiled, then shall I be weak and be as one of ordinary men.
8 And the princess of the Philistines brought to her seven moist cords that had not been spoiled, and she bound him with them.
9 And the liers in wait remained with her in the chamber; and she said to him, the Philistines [are] upon you, Sampson: and he broke the cords as if any one should break a thread of tow when it has touched the fire, and his strength was not known.
10 And Dalida said to Sampson, Behold, you have cheated me, and told me lies; now then tell me wherewith you shall be bound.
11 And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes with which work has not been done, then shall I be weak, and shall be as another man.
12 And Dalida took new ropes, and bound him with them, and the liers in wait came out of the chamber, and she said, The Philistines [are] upon you, Sampson: and he broke them off his arms like a thread.
13 And Dalida said to Sampson, Behold, you have deceived me, and told me lies; tell me, I entreat you, wherewith you may be bound: and he said to her, If you should weave the seven locks of my head with the web, and should fasten them with the pin into the wall, then shall I be weak as another man.
14 And it came to pass when he was asleep, that Dalida took the seven locks of his head, and wove them with the web, and fastened them with the pin into the wall, and she said, The Philistines [are] upon you, Sampson: and he awoke out of his sleep, and carried away the pin of the web out of the wall.
15 And Dalida said to Sampson, How say you, I love you, when your heart is not with me? this third time you have deceived me, and have not told me wherein [is] your great strength.
16 And it came to pass as she pressed him sore with her words continually, and straitened him, that his spirit failed almost to death.
17 Then he told her all his heart, and said to her, A razor has not come upon my head, because I have been a holy [one] of God from my mother's womb; if then I should be shaven, my strength will depart from me, and I shall be weak, and I shall be as all [other] men.
18 And Dalida saw that he told her all his heart, and she sent and called the princess of the Philistines, saying, Come up yet this once; for he has told me all his heart. And the chiefs of the Philistines went up to her, and brought the money in their hands.
19 And Dalida made Sampson sleep upon her knees; and she called a man, and he shaved the seven locks of his head, and she began to humble him, and his strength departed from him.
20 And Dalida said, The Philistines [are] upon you, Sampson: and he awoke out of his sleep and said, I will go out as at former times, and shake myself; and he knew not that the Lord was departed from him.
21 And the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he ground in the prison-house.
22 And the hair of his head began to grow as before it was shaven.
