Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. | 1 בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם מ֣וּסַר אָ֑ב וְ֝לֵ֗ץ לֹא־שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃ | |
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. | 2 מִפְּרִ֣י פִי־אִ֭ישׁ יֹ֣אכַל טֹ֑וב וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ בֹּגְדִ֣ים חָמָֽס׃ | |
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. | 3 נֹצֵ֣ר פִּ֭יו שֹׁמֵ֣ר נַפְשֹׁ֑ו פֹּשֵׂ֥ק פָתָ֗יו מְחִתָּה־לֹֽו׃ | |
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. | 4 מִתְאַוָּ֣ה וָ֭אַיִן נַפְשֹׁ֣ו עָצֵ֑ל וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ חָרֻצִ֣ים תְּדֻשָּֽׁן׃ | |
5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. | 5 דְּבַרשֶ֭־קֶר יִשְׂנָ֣א צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝רָשָׁ֗ע יַבְאִ֥ישׁ וְיַחְפִּֽיר׃ | |
6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. | 6 צְ֭דָקָה תִּצֹּ֣ר תָּם־דָּ֑רֶךְ וְ֝רִשְׁעָ֗ה תְּסַלֵּ֥ף חַטָּֽאת׃ | |
7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. | 7 יֵ֣שׁ מִ֭תְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵ֣ין כֹּ֑ל מִ֝תְרֹושֵׁ֗שׁ וְהֹ֣ון רָֽב׃ | |
8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke. | 8 כֹּ֣פֶר נֶֽפֶשׁ־אִ֣ישׁ עָשְׁרֹ֑ו וְ֝רָ֗שׁ לֹא־שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃ | |
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. | 9 אֹור־צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִשְׂמָ֑ח וְנֵ֖ר רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִדְעָֽךְ׃ | |
10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. | 10 רַק־בְּ֭זָדֹון יִתֵּ֣ן מַצָּ֑ה וְאֶת־נֹ֖ועָצִ֣ים3 חָכְמָֽה׃ | |
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. | 11 הֹ֭ון3 מֵהֶ֣בֶל יִמְעָ֑ט וְקֹבֵ֖ץ עַל־יָ֣ד יַרְבֶּֽה׃ | |
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. | 12 תֹּוחֶ֣לֶת מְ֭מֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה־לֵ֑ב וְעֵ֥ץ חַ֝יִּ֗ים תַּאֲוָ֥ה בָאָֽה׃ | |
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. | 13 בָּ֣ז לְ֭דָבָר יֵחָ֣בֶל לֹ֑ו וִירֵ֥א מִ֝צְוָ֗ה ה֣וּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם׃ | |
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. | 14 תֹּורַ֣ת חָ֭כָם מְקֹ֣ור חַיִּ֑ים לָ֝ס֗וּר מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ | |
15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. | 15 שֵֽׂכֶל־טֹ֭וב3 יִתֶּן־חֵ֑ן וְדֶ֖רֶךְ בֹּגְדִ֣ים אֵיתָֽן׃ | |
16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. | 16 כָּל־עָ֭רוּם יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה בְדָ֑עַת וּ֝כְסִ֗יל יִפְרֹ֥שׂ אִוֶּֽלֶת׃ | |
17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. | 17 מַלְאָ֣ךְ רָ֭שָׁע יִפֹּ֣ל בְּרָ֑ע וְצִ֖יר אֱמוּנִ֣ים מַרְפֵּֽא׃ | |
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. | 18 רֵ֣ישׁ וְ֭קָלֹון פֹּורֵ֣עַ מוּסָ֑ר וְשֹׁומֵ֖ר תֹּוכַ֣חַת יְכֻבָּֽד׃ | |
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. | 19 תַּאֲוָ֣ה נִ֭הְיָה תֶעֱרַ֣ב לְנָ֑פֶשׁ וְתֹועֲבַ֥ת כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים ס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃ | |
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. | 20 הָלֹוךְ הֹולֵ֣ךְ3 אֶת־חֲכָמִ֣ים וַחֲכָם יֶחְכָּ֑ם וְרֹעֶ֖ה כְסִילִ֣ים יֵרֹֽועַ׃ | |
21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. | 21 חַ֭טָּאִים תְּרַדֵּ֣ף רָעָ֑ה וְאֶת־צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יְשַׁלֶּם־טֹֽוב׃ | |
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. | 22 טֹ֗וב יַנְחִ֥יל בְּנֵֽי־בָנִ֑ים וְצָפ֥וּן לַ֝צַּדִּ֗יק חֵ֣יל חֹוטֵֽא׃ | |
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. | 23 רָב־אֹ֭כֶל נִ֣יר רָאשִׁ֑ים וְיֵ֥שׁ נִ֝סְפֶּ֗ה בְּלֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ | |
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. | 24 חֹושֵׂ֣ךְ בְטֹו שֹׂונֵ֣א בְנֹ֑ו וְ֝אֹהֲבֹ֗ו שִֽׁחֲרֹ֥ו מוּסָֽר׃ | |
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want. | 25 צַדִּ֗יק אֹ֭כֵל לְשֹׂ֣בַע נַפְשֹׁ֑ו וּבֶ֖טֶן רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֶּחְסָֽר׃ | |
