The Best Way to Lead | Bible in One Year: Wisdom Proverbs 22:28–23:9 Saying 5 28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone     set up by your ancestors. Saying 6 29 Do you see someone skilled in their work?     They will serve before kings;     they will not serve before officials of low rank. Saying 7 23When you sit to dine with a ruler,     note well what is before you, 2 and put a knife to your throat     if you are given to gluttony. 3 Do not crave his delicacies,     for that food is deceptive. Saying 8 4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;     do not trust your own cleverness. 5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,     for they will surely sprout wings     and fly off to the sky like an eagle. Saying 9 6 Do not eat the food of a begrudging host,     do not crave his delicacies; 7 for he is the kind of person     who is always thinking about the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you,     but his heart is not with you. 8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten     and will have wasted your compliments. Saying 10 9 Do not speak to fools,     for they will scorn your prudent words.
