Proverbs 23:1-4 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

1. When you sit down to eat with someone important, keep in mind who he is.

2. If you have a big appetite, restrain yourself.

3. Don't be greedy for the fine food he serves; he may be trying to trick you.

4. Be wise enough not to wear yourself out trying to get rich.

29-30. Show me someone who drinks too much, who has to try out some new drink, and I will show you someone miserable and sorry for himself, always causing trouble and always complaining. His eyes are bloodshot, and he has bruises that could have been avoided.
