[1] Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
[2] It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge,
nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way.
[3] The foolishness of man subverts his way;
his heart rages against Yahweh.
[4] Wealth adds many friends,
but the poor is separated from his friend.
[5] A false witness shall not be unpunished.
He who pours out lies shall not go free.
[6] Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,
and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
[7] All the relatives of the poor shun him;
how much more do his friends avoid him!
He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
[8] He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.
He who keeps understanding shall find good.
[9] A false witness shall not be unpunished.
He who utters lies shall perish.
[10] Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,
much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
[11] The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.
It is his glory to overlook an offense.
[12] The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
[13] A foolish son is the calamity of his father.
A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
[14] House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
but a prudent wife is from Yahweh.
[15] Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.
The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
[16] He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
[17] He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh;
he will reward him.
[18] Discipline your son, for there is hope;
don’t be a willing party to his death.
[19] A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,
for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
[20] Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
that you may be wise in your latter end.
[21] There are many plans in a man’s heart,
but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.
[22] That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.
A poor man is better than a liar.
[23] The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment;
he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
[24] The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
[25] Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
[26] He who robs his father and drives away his mother
is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
[27] If you stop listening to instruction, my son,
you will stray from the words of knowledge.
[28] A corrupt witness mocks justice,
and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
[29] Penalties are prepared for scoffers,
and beatings for the backs of fools.

[1] BetterH2896 [is] the poorH7326(QalActPtc) that walkethH1980(QalActPtc) in his integrity,H8537 than [he that is] perverseH6141 in his lips,H8193 and is a fool.H3684 [2] Also, [that] the soulH5315 [be] without knowledge,H1847 [it is] not good;H2896 and he that hastethH213(QalPtc) with [his] feetH7272 sinneth.H2398(QalActPtc) [3] The foolishnessH200 of manH120 pervertethH5557(PielImpf) his way:H1870 and his heartH3820 frettethH2196(QalImpf) against the Lord.H3068 [4] WealthH1952 makethH3254(HiphImpf) manyH7227 friends;H7453 but the poorH1800 is separatedH6504(NiphImpf) from his neighbour.H7453 [5] A falseH8267 witnessH5707 shall not be unpunished,H5352(NiphImpf) and [he that] speakethH6315(HiphImpf) liesH3577 shall not escape.H4422(NiphImpf) [6] ManyH7227 will intreatH2470(PielImpf) the favourH6440 of the prince:H5081 and every man [is] a friendH7453 to himH376 that giveth gifts.H4976 [7] All the brethrenH251 of the poorH7326(QalActPtc) do hateH8130(QalPerf) him: how much more do his friendsH4828 go farH7368(QalPerf) from him? he pursuethH7291(PielPtc) [them with] words,H561 [yet] they [are] wanting [to him]. [8] He that gettethH7069(QalActPtc) wisdomH3820 lovethH157(QalActPtc) his own soul:H5315 he that keepethH8104(QalActPtc) understandingH8394 shall findH4672(QalInf) good.H2896 [9] A falseH8267 witnessH5707 shall not be unpunished,H5352(NiphImpf) and [he that] speakethH6315(HiphImpf) liesH3577 shall perish.H6(QalImpf) [10] DelightH8588 is not seemlyH5000 for a fool;H3684 much less for a servantH5650 to have ruleH4910(QalInf) over princes.H8269 [11] The discretionH7922 of a manH120 deferrethH748(HiphPerf) his anger;H639 and [it is] his gloryH8597 to pass overH5674(QalInf) a transgression.H6588 [12] The king’sH4428 wrathH2197 [is] as the roaringH5099 of a lion;H3715 but his favourH7522 [is] as dewH2919 upon the grass.H6212 [13] A foolishH3684 sonH1121 [is] the calamityH1942 of his father:H1 and the contentionsH4079 of a wifeH802 [are] a continualH2956(QalActPtc) dropping.H1812 [14] HouseH1004 and richesH1952 [are] the inheritanceH5159 of fathers:H1 and a prudentH7919(HiphPtc) wifeH802 [is] from the Lord.H3068 [15] SlothfulnessH6103 castethH5307(HiphImpf) into a deep sleep;H8639 and an idleH7423 soulH5315 shall suffer hunger.H7456(QalImpf) [16] He that keepethH8104(QalActPtc) the commandmentH4687 keepethH8104(QalActPtc) his own soul;H5315 [but] he that despisethH959(QalActPtc) his waysH1870 shall die.H4191(QalImpf) [17] He that hath pityH2603(QalActPtc) upon the poorH1800 lendethH3867(HiphPtc) unto the Lord;H3068 and that which he hath givenH1576 will he pay him again.H7999(PielImpf) [18] ChastenH3256(PielImpv) thy sonH1121 while there isH3426 hope,H8615 and let not thy soulH5315 spareH5375(QalImpf) for his crying.H4191(HiphInf) [19] A manH1419 of greatH1632 wrathH2534 shall sufferH5375(QalActPtc) punishment:H6066 for if thou deliverH5337(HiphImpf) [him], yet thou must do it again.H3254(HiphImpf) [20] HearH8085(QalImpv) counsel,H6098 and receiveH6901(PielImpv) instruction,H4148 that thou mayest be wiseH2449(QalImpf) in thy latter end.H319 [21] [There are] manyH7227 devicesH4284 in a man’sH376 heart;H3820 nevertheless the counselH6098 of the Lord,H3068 that shall stand.H6965(QalImpf) [22] The desireH8378 of a manH120 [is] his kindness:H2617 and a poor manH7326(QalActPtc) [is] betterH2896 thanH376 a liar.H3577 [23] The fearH3374 of the LordH3068 [tendeth] to life:H2416 and [he that hath it] shall abideH3885(QalImpf) satisfied;H7649 he shall not be visitedH6485(NiphImpf) with evil.H7451 [24] A slothfulH6102 [man] hidethH2934(QalPerf) his handH3027 in [his] bosom,H6747 and will not so much as bringH7725 it to his mouthH6310 again.H7725(HiphImpf) [25] SmiteH5221(HiphImpf) a scorner,H3887(QalPtc) and the simpleH6612 will beware:H6191(HiphImpf) and reproveH3198(HiphPerf) one that hath understanding,H995(NiphPtc) [and] he will understandH995(QalImpf) knowledge.H1847 [26] He that wastethH7703(PielPtc) [his] father,H1 [and] chaseth awayH1272(HiphImpf) [his] mother,H517 [is] a sonH1121 that causeth shame,H954(HiphPtc) and bringeth reproach.H2659(HiphPtc) [27] Cease,H2308(QalImpv) my son,H1121 to hearH8085(QalInf) the instructionH4148 [that causeth] to errH7686(QalInf) from the wordsH561 of knowledge.H1847 [28] An ungodlyH1100 witnessH5707 scornethH3887(HiphImpf) judgment:H4941 and the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 devourethH1104(PielImpf) iniquity.H205 [29] JudgmentsH8201 are preparedH3559(NiphPerf) for scorners,H3887(QalPtc) and stripesH4112 for the backH1460 of fools.H3684
