Proverbs 13
1 A wise son [heareth] his father's instruction; but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
| 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 treacherous, violence.
| מִפְּרִ֣י פִי־אִ֭ישׁ יֹ֣אכַל ט֑וֹב וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ בֹּגְדִ֣ים חָמָֽס׃ |
3 He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his soul; destruction shall be to him that openeth wide his lips.
| נֹצֵ֣ר פִּ֭יו שֹׁמֵ֣ר נַפְשׁ֑וֹ פֹּשֵׂ֥ק שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו מְחִתָּה־לֽוֹ׃ |
4 A sluggard's soul desireth and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
| מִתְאַוָּ֣ה וָ֭אַיִן נַפְשׁ֣וֹ עָצֵ֑ל וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ חָרֻצִ֣ים תְּדֻשָּֽׁן׃ |
5 A righteous [man] hateth lying; but the wicked maketh himself odious and cometh to shame.
| דְּבַר־שֶׁ֭קֶר יִשְׂנָ֣א צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝רָשָׁ֗ע יַבְאִ֥ישׁ וְיַחְפִּֽיר׃ |
6 Righteousness preserveth him that is perfect in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
| צְ֭דָקָה תִּצֹּ֣ר תָּם־דָּ֑רֶךְ וְ֝רִשְׁעָ֗ה תְּסַלֵּ֥ף חַטָּֽאת׃ |
7 There is that feigneth himself rich, and hath nothing; there is that maketh himself poor, and hath great wealth.
| יֵ֣שׁ מִ֭תְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵ֣ין כֹּ֑ל מִ֝תְרוֹשֵׁ֗שׁ וְה֣וֹן רָֽב׃ |
8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches; but the indigent heareth not rebuke.
| כֹּ֣פֶר נֶֽפֶשׁ־אִ֣ישׁ עָשְׁר֑וֹ וְ֝רָ֗שׁ לֹא־שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃ |
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth; but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
| אוֹר־צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִשְׂמָ֑ח וְנֵ֖ר רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִדְעָֽךְ׃ |
10 By pride there only cometh contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom.
| רַק־בְּ֭זָדוֹן יִתֵּ֣ן מַצָּ֑ה וְאֶת־נ֖וֹעָצִ֣ים חָכְמָֽה׃ |
11 Wealth [gotten] by vanity diminisheth; but he that gathereth by manual-labour shall increase [it].
| ה֭וֹן מֵהֶ֣בֶל יִמְעָ֑ט וְקֹבֵ֖ץ עַל־יָ֣ד יַרְבֶּֽה׃ |
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but the desire [that] cometh to pass is a tree of life.
| תּוֹחֶ֣לֶת מְ֭מֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה־לֵ֑ב וְעֵ֥ץ חַ֝יִּ֗ים תַּאֲוָ֥ה בָאָֽה׃ |
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be held by it; but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
| בָּ֣ז לְ֭דָבָר יֵחָ֣בֶל ל֑וֹ וִירֵ֥א מִ֝צְוָ֗ה ה֣וּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם׃ |
14 The teaching of the wise [man] is a fountain of life, to turn away from the snares of death.
| תּוֹרַ֣ת חָ֭כָם מְק֣וֹר חַיִּ֑ים לָ֝ס֗וּר מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ |
15 Good understanding procureth favour; but the way of the treacherous is hard.
| שֵֽׂכֶל־ט֭וֹב יִתֶּן־חֵ֑ן וְדֶ֖רֶךְ בֹּגְדִ֣ים אֵיתָֽן׃ |
16 Every prudent [man] acteth with knowledge; but the foolish layeth open [his] folly.
| כָּל־עָ֭רוּם יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה בְדָ֑עַת וּ֝כְסִ֗יל יִפְרֹ֥שׂ אִוֶּֽלֶת׃ |
17 A wicked messenger falleth into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health.
| 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.
| רֵ֣ישׁ וְ֭קָלוֹן פּוֹרֵ֣עַ מוּסָ֑ר וְשׁוֹמֵ֖ר תּוֹכַ֣חַת יְכֻבָּֽד׃ |
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; but it is abomination to the foolish to depart from evil.
| תַּאֲוָ֣ה נִ֭הְיָה תֶּעֱרַ֣ב לְנָ֑פֶשׁ וְתוֹעֲבַ֥ת כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים ס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃ |
20 He that walketh with wise [men] becometh wise; but a companion of the foolish will be depraved.
| הלוך אֶת־חֲכָמִ֣ים וחכם וְרֹעֶ֖ה כְסִילִ֣ים יֵרֽוֹעַ׃ |
21 Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
| חַ֭טָּאִים תְּרַדֵּ֣ף רָעָ֑ה וְאֶת־צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יְשַׁלֶּם־טֽוֹב׃ |
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; but the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous [man].
| ט֗וֹב יַנְחִ֥יל בְּנֵֽי־בָנִ֑ים וְצָפ֥וּן לַ֝צַּדִּ֗יק חֵ֣יל חוֹטֵֽא׃ |
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor; but there is that is lost for want of judgment.
| 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.
| חוֹשֵׂ֣ךְ שִׁ֭בְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵ֣א בְנ֑וֹ וְ֝אֹהֲב֗וֹ שִֽׁחֲר֥וֹ מוּסָֽר׃ |
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; but the belly of the wicked shall want.
| צַדִּ֗יק אֹ֭כֵל לְשֹׂ֣בַע נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּבֶ֖טֶן רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֶּחְסָֽר׃ פ |
