Proverbs 23 begins with advice that we can take any time we are eating with someone in power, whether a ruler as it says in the proverb or an employer in our time. It warns us to eat (and drink) cautiously and in moderation. You are always under a watchful eye. This extends to day-to-day behavior as well. There is also encouragement to treat memorial places with respect.

There are quite a few proverbs for children in this chapter, encouraging respect and obedience toward parents. Parents are encouraged to provide discipline for their children.

Proverbs 24 returns to the advice to seek wisdom. Being wise is more powerful that being strong. It is nourishing to the soul.

We are not to envy the wicked but neither are we to rejoice in their downfall. We should be more concerned with the Lord’s opinion of our behavior. Be diligent in your work.

Psalms 92 and 93 are psalms of praise to God. They are designed to be used in worship.
