1The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.

1חַכְמ֣וֹת נָ֭שִׁים בָּנְתָ֣ה בֵיתָ֑הּ וְ֝אִוֶּ֗לֶת בְּיָדֶ֥יהָ תֶהֶרְסֶֽנּוּ׃

2Whoever fears the LORD walks uprightly, but those who despise him are devious in their ways.

2הוֹלֵ֣ךְ בְּ֭יָשְׁרוֹ יְרֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה וּנְל֖וֹז דְּרָכָ֣יו בּוֹזֵֽהוּ׃

3A fool's mouth lashes out with pride, but the lips of the wise protect them.

3בְּֽפִי־ אֱ֭וִיל חֹ֣טֶר גַּאֲוָ֑ה וְשִׂפְתֵ֥י חֲ֝כָמִ֗ים תִּשְׁמוּרֵֽם׃

4Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox come abundant harvests.

4בְּאֵ֣ין אֲ֭לָפִים אֵב֣וּס בָּ֑ר וְרָב־ תְּ֝בוּא֗וֹת בְּכֹ֣חַ שֽׁוֹר׃

5An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.

5עֵ֣ד אֱ֭מוּנִים לֹ֣א יְכַזֵּ֑ב וְיָפִ֥יחַ כְּ֝זָבִ֗ים עֵ֣ד שָֽׁקֶר׃

6The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.

6בִּקֶּשׁ־ לֵ֣ץ חָכְמָ֣ה וָאָ֑יִן וְדַ֖עַת לְנָב֣וֹן נָקָֽל׃

7Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips.

7לֵ֣ךְ מִ֭נֶּגֶד לְאִ֣ישׁ כְּסִ֑יל וּבַל־ יָ֝דַ֗עְתָּ שִׂפְתֵי־ דָֽעַת׃

8The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.

8חָכְמַ֣ת עָ֭רוּם הָבִ֣ין דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וְאִוֶּ֖לֶת כְּסִילִ֣ים מִרְמָֽה׃

9Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright.

9אֱ֭וִלִים יָלִ֣יץ אָשָׁ֑ם וּבֵ֖ין יְשָׁרִ֣ים רָצֽוֹן׃

10Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.

10לֵ֗ב י֭וֹדֵעַ מָרַּ֣ת נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּ֝בְשִׂמְחָת֗וֹ לֹא־ יִתְעָ֥רַב זָֽר׃

11The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

11בֵּ֣ית רְ֭שָׁעִים יִשָּׁמֵ֑ד וְאֹ֖הֶל יְשָׁרִ֣ים יַפְרִֽיחַ׃

12There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

12יֵ֤שׁ דֶּ֣רֶךְ יָ֭שָׁר לִפְנֵי־ אִ֑ישׁ וְ֝אַחֲרִיתָ֗הּ דַּרְכֵי־ מָֽוֶת׃

13Even in laughter the heart may ache, and rejoicing may end in grief.

13גַּם־ בִּשְׂח֥וֹק יִכְאַב־ לֵ֑ב וְאַחֲרִיתָ֖הּ‪‬ שִׂמְחָ֣ה תוּגָֽה׃

14The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good rewarded for theirs.

14מִדְּרָכָ֣יו יִ֭שְׂבַּע ס֣וּג לֵ֑ב וּ֝מֵעָלָ֗יו אִ֣ישׁ טֽוֹב׃

15The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.

15פֶּ֭תִי יַאֲמִ֣ין לְכָל־ דָּבָ֑ר וְ֝עָר֗וּם יָבִ֥ין לַאֲשֻׁרֽוֹ׃

16The wise fear the LORD and shun evil, but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.

16חָכָ֣ם יָ֭רֵא וְסָ֣ר מֵרָ֑ע וּ֝כְסִ֗יל מִתְעַבֵּ֥ר וּבוֹטֵֽחַ׃

17A quick-tempered person does foolish things, and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.

17קְֽצַר־ אַ֭פַּיִם יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה אִוֶּ֑לֶת וְאִ֥ישׁ מְ֝זִמּ֗וֹת יִשָּׂנֵֽא׃

18The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

18נָחֲל֣וּ פְתָאיִ֣ם אִוֶּ֑לֶת וַֽ֝עֲרוּמִ֗ים יַכְתִּ֥רוּ דָֽעַת׃

19Evildoers will bow down in the presence of the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

19שַׁח֣וּ רָ֭עִים לִפְנֵ֣י טוֹבִ֑ים וּ֝רְשָׁעִ֗ים עַֽל־ שַׁעֲרֵ֥י צַדִּֽיק׃

20The poor are shunned even by their neighbors, but the rich have many friends.

20גַּם־ לְ֭רֵעֵהוּ יִשָּׂ֣נֵא רָ֑שׁ וְאֹהֲבֵ֖י עָשִׁ֣יר רַבִּֽים׃

21It is a sin to despise one's neighbor, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.

21בָּז־ לְרֵעֵ֥הוּ חוֹטֵ֑א וּמְחוֹנֵ֖ן [עניים] (עֲנָוִ֣ים) אַשְׁרָֽיו׃

22Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.

22הֲ‍ֽלוֹא־ יִ֭תְעוּ חֹ֣רְשֵׁי רָ֑ע וְחֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת חֹ֣רְשֵׁי טֽוֹב׃

23All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

23בְּכָל־ עֶ֭צֶב יִהְיֶ֣ה מוֹתָ֑ר וּדְבַר־ שְׂ֝פָתַ֗יִם אַךְ־ לְמַחְסֽוֹר׃

24The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the folly of fools yields folly.

24עֲטֶ֣רֶת חֲכָמִ֣ים עָשְׁרָ֑ם אִוֶּ֖לֶת כְּסִילִ֣ים אִוֶּֽלֶת׃

25A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is deceitful.

25מַצִּ֣יל נְ֭פָשׁוֹת עֵ֣ד אֱמֶ֑ת וְיָפִ֖חַ כְּזָבִ֣ים מִרְמָֽה׃

26Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.

26בְּיִרְאַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה מִבְטַח־ עֹ֑ז וּ֝לְבָנָ֗יו יִהְיֶ֥ה מַחְסֶֽה׃

27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death.

27יִרְאַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה מְק֣וֹר חַיִּ֑ים לָ֝ס֗וּר מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃

28A large population is a king's glory, but without subjects a prince is ruined.

28בְּרָב־ עָ֥ם הַדְרַת־ מֶ֑לֶךְ וּבְאֶ֥פֶס לְ֝אֹ֗ם מְחִתַּ֥ת רָזֽוֹן׃

29Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

29אֶ֣רֶךְ אַ֭פַּיִם רַב־ תְּבוּנָ֑ה וּקְצַר־ ר֝֗וּחַ מֵרִ֥ים אִוֶּֽלֶת׃

30A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.

30חַיֵּ֣י בְ֭שָׂרִים לֵ֣ב מַרְפֵּ֑א וּרְקַ֖ב עֲצָמ֣וֹת קִנְאָֽה׃

31Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

31עֹ֣שֵֽׁק דָּ֭ל חֵרֵ֣ף עֹשֵׂ֑הוּ וּ֝מְכַבְּד֗וֹ חֹנֵ֥ן אֶבְיֽוֹן׃

32When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God.

32בְּֽ֭רָעָתוֹ יִדָּחֶ֣ה רָשָׁ֑ע וְחֹסֶ֖ה בְמוֹת֣וֹ צַדִּֽיק׃

33Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning and even among fools she lets herself be known.

33בְּלֵ֣ב נָ֭בוֹן תָּנ֣וּחַ חָכְמָ֑ה וּבְקֶ֥רֶב כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים תִּוָּדֵֽעַ׃

34Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.

34צְדָקָ֥ה תְרֽוֹמֵֽם־ גּ֑וֹי וְחֶ֖סֶד לְאֻמִּ֣ים חַטָּֽאת׃

35A king delights in a wise servant, but a shameful servant arouses his fury.

35רְֽצוֹן־ מֶ֭לֶךְ לְעֶ֣בֶד מַשְׂכִּ֑יל וְ֝עֶבְרָת֗וֹ תִּהְיֶ֥ה מֵבִֽישׁ׃
