Proverbs 23:10 Context
8The morsell which thou hast eaten, shalt thou vomite vp, and loose thy sweete words. 9Speake not in the eares of a foole: for hee will despise the wisedome of thy words. 10Remoue not the old landmarke; and enter not into the fields of the fatherlesse. 11For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee. 12Apply thine heart vnto instruction, and thine eares to the words of knowledge.
