|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Treasures _gained_ by wickedness do not profit, But righteousness delivers from death.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to hunger, But He will push away the craving of the wicked.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
Poor is he who works with a slack hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
He who gathers in summer is a son who acts insightfully, _But_ he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
The remembrance of the righteous is blessed, But the name of the wicked will rot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
The wise of heart will receive commandments, But an ignorant fool of _loose_ lips will be ruined.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
He who walks in integrity walks securely, But he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
He who winks the eye causes pain, And an ignorant fool of _loose_ lips will be ruined.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
On the lips of the one who has understanding, wisdom is found, But a rod is for the back of him who lacks a heart _of wisdom_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
Wise men store up knowledge, But the mouth of the ignorant fool draws ruin near.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
The rich man's wealth is his strong city, The ruin of the poor is their poverty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
The wages of the righteous is life, The income of the wicked, punishment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
He is _on_ the path of life who keeps discipline, But he who forsakes reproof makes himself wander about.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
He who covers up hatred _has_ lying lips, And he who spreads a bad report is a fool.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who holds back his lips has insight.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
The tongue of the righteous is _as_ choice silver, The heart of the wicked is _worth_ little.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
The lips of the righteous feed many, But ignorant fools die for lack of a heart _of wisdom_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
It is the blessing of Yahweh that makes rich, And He adds no pain with it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
Doing wickedness is like laughing to a fool, And _so is_ wisdom to a man of discernment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
What the wicked dreads will come upon him, But the desire of the righteous will be granted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 25
|
||
|
|
When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, But the righteous _has_ an everlasting foundation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 26
|
||
|
|
Like vinegar to the teeth and like smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to those who send him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 27
|
||
|
|
The fear of Yahweh prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 28
|
||
|
|
The expectation of the righteous is gladness, But the hope of the wicked will perish.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 29
|
||
|
|
The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the one with integrity, But ruin to the workers of iniquity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 30
|
||
|
|
The righteous will never be shaken, But the wicked will not dwell in the land.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 31
|
||
|
|
The mouth of the righteous bears wisdom, But the tongue of perversions will be cut out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 32
|
||
|
|
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
