1A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.1בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם מ֣וּסַר אָ֑ב וְ֝לֵ֗ץ לֹא־ שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃
2A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.2מִפְּרִ֣י פִי־ אִ֭ישׁ יֹ֣אכַל ט֑וֹב וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ בֹּגְדִ֣ים חָמָֽס׃
3He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.3נֹצֵ֣ר פִּ֭יו שֹׁמֵ֣ר נַפְשׁ֑וֹ פֹּשֵׂ֥ק שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו מְחִתָּה־ לֽוֹ׃
4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.4מִתְאַוָּ֣ה וָ֭אַיִן נַפְשׁ֣וֹ עָצֵ֑ל וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ חָרֻצִ֣ים תְּדֻשָּֽׁן׃
5A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.5דְּבַר־ שֶׁ֭קֶר יִשְׂנָ֣א צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝רָשָׁ֗ע יַבְאִ֥ישׁ וְיַחְפִּֽיר׃
6Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.6צְ֭דָקָה תִּצֹּ֣ר תָּם־ דָּ֑רֶךְ וְ֝רִשְׁעָ֗ה תְּסַלֵּ֥ף חַטָּֽאת׃
7There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.7יֵ֣שׁ מִ֭תְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵ֣ין כֹּ֑ל מִ֝תְרוֹשֵׁ֗שׁ וְה֣וֹן רָֽב׃
8The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.8כֹּ֣פֶר נֶֽפֶשׁ־ אִ֣ישׁ עָשְׁר֑וֹ וְ֝רָ֗שׁ לֹא־ שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃
9The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.9אוֹר־ צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִשְׂמָ֑ח וְנֵ֖ר רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִדְעָֽךְ׃
10Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.10רַק־ בְּ֭זָדוֹן יִתֵּ֣ן מַצָּ֑ה וְאֶת־ נ֖וֹעָצִ֣ים חָכְמָֽה׃
11Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.11ה֭וֹן מֵהֶ֣בֶל יִמְעָ֑ט וְקֹבֵ֖ץ עַל־ יָ֣ד יַרְבֶּֽה׃
12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.12תּוֹחֶ֣לֶת מְ֭מֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה־ לֵ֑ב וְעֵ֥ץ חַ֝יִּ֗ים תַּאֲוָ֥ה בָאָֽה׃
13Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.13בָּ֣ז לְ֭דָבָר יֵחָ֣בֶל ל֑וֹ וִירֵ֥א מִ֝צְוָ֗ה ה֣וּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם׃
14The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.14תּוֹרַ֣ת חָ֭כָם מְק֣וֹר חַיִּ֑ים לָ֝ס֗וּר מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃
15Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.15שֵֽׂכֶל־ ט֭וֹב יִתֶּן־ חֵ֑ן וְדֶ֖רֶךְ בֹּגְדִ֣ים אֵיתָֽן׃
16Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.16כָּל־ עָ֭רוּם יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה בְדָ֑עַת וּ֝כְסִ֗יל יִפְרֹ֥שׂ אִוֶּֽלֶת׃
17A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.17מַלְאָ֣ךְ רָ֭שָׁע יִפֹּ֣ל בְּרָ֑ע וְצִ֖יר אֱמוּנִ֣ים מַרְפֵּֽא׃
18Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.18רֵ֣ישׁ וְ֭קָלוֹן פּוֹרֵ֣עַ מוּסָ֑ר וְשׁוֹמֵ֖ר תּוֹכַ֣חַת יְכֻבָּֽד׃
19The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.19תַּאֲוָ֣ה נִ֭הְיָה תֶּעֱרַ֣ב לְנָ֑פֶשׁ וְתוֹעֲבַ֥ת כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים ס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃
20He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.20[הלוך] (הוֹלֵ֣ךְ‪‬‪‬) אֶת־ חֲכָמִ֣ים [וחכם] (יֶחְכָּ֑ם) וְרֹעֶ֖ה כְסִילִ֣ים יֵרֽוֹעַ׃
21Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.21חַ֭טָּאִים תְּרַדֵּ֣ף רָעָ֑ה וְאֶת־ צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יְשַׁלֶּם־ טֽוֹב׃
22A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.22ט֗וֹב יַנְחִ֥יל בְּנֵֽי־ בָנִ֑ים וְצָפ֥וּן לַ֝צַּדִּ֗יק חֵ֣יל חוֹטֵֽא׃
23Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.23רָב־ אֹ֭כֶל נִ֣יר רָאשִׁ֑ים וְיֵ֥שׁ נִ֝סְפֶּ֗ה בְּלֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
24He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.24חוֹשֵׂ֣ךְ שִׁ֭בְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵ֣א בְנ֑וֹ וְ֝אֹהֲב֗וֹ שִֽׁחֲר֥וֹ מוּסָֽר׃
25The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.25צַדִּ֗יק אֹ֭כֵל לְשֹׂ֣בַע נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּבֶ֖טֶן רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֶּחְסָֽר׃ פ
