Proverbs 10
1 THE PARABLE OF SALOMON. A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is an heauines to his mother.
| מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֵּן חָכָם יְשַׂמַּח־אָב וּבֵן כְּסִיל תּוּגַת אִמּֽוֹ׃ |
2 The treasures of wickednesse profite nothing: but righteousnesse deliuereth from death.
| לֹא־יוֹעִילוּ אוֹצְרוֹת רֶשַׁע וּצְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּֽוֶת׃ |
3 The Lord will not famish the soule of the righteous: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
| לֹֽא־יַרְעִיב יְהוָה נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְהַוַּת רְשָׁעִים יֶהְדֹּֽף׃ |
4 A slouthfull hand maketh poore: but the hand of the diligent maketh riche.
| רָאשׁ עֹשֶׂה כַף־רְמִיָּה וְיַד חָרוּצִים תַּעֲשִֽׁיר׃ |
5 He that gathereth in sommer, is the sonne of wisdome: but he that sleepeth in haruest, is the sonne of confusion.
| אֹגֵר בַּקַּיִץ בֵּן מַשְׂכִּיל נִרְדָּם בַּקָּצִיר בֵּן מֵבִֽישׁ׃ |
6 Blessings are vpon the head of the righteous: but iniquitie shall couer the mouth of the wicked.
| בְּרָכוֹת לְרֹאשׁ צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָֽס׃ |
7 The memoriall of the iust shalbe blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rotte.
| זֵכֶר צַדִּיק לִבְרָכָה וְשֵׁם רְשָׁעִים יִרְקָֽב׃ |
8 The wise in heart will receiue commandements: but the foolish in talke shalbe beaten.
| חֲכַם־לֵב יִקַּח מִצְוֺת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ |
9 He that walketh vprightly, walketh boldely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen.
| הוֹלֵךְ בַּתֹּם יֵלֶךְ בֶּטַח וּמְעַקֵּשׁ דְּרָכָיו יִוָּדֵֽעַ׃ |
10 He that winketh with the eye, worketh sorowe, and he yet is foolish in talke, shalbe beaten.
| קֹרֵֽץ עַיִן יִתֵּן עַצָּבֶת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ |
11 The mouth of a righteous man is a welspring of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked.
| מְקוֹר חַיִּים פִּי צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָֽס׃ |
12 Hatred stirreth vp contentions: but loue couereth all trespasses.
| שִׂנְאָה תְּעוֹרֵר מְדָנִים וְעַל כָּל־פְּשָׁעִים תְּכַסֶּה אַהֲבָֽה׃ |
13 In the lippes of him that hath vnderstanding wisdome is founde, and a rod shalbe for the backe of him that is destitute of wisedome.
| בְּשִׂפְתֵי נָבוֹן תִּמָּצֵא חָכְמָה וְשֵׁבֶט לְגֵו חֲסַר־לֵֽב׃ |
14 Wise men lay vp knowledge: but ye mouth of the foole is a present destruction.
| חֲכָמִים יִצְפְּנוּ־דָעַת וּפִֽי־אֱוִיל מְחִתָּה קְרֹבָֽה׃ |
15 The riche mans goodes are his strong citie: but the feare of the needie is their pouertie.
| הוֹן עָשִׁיר קִרְיַת עֻזּוֹ מְחִתַּת דַּלִּים רֵישָֽׁם׃ |
16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: but the reuenues of the wicked to sinne.
| פְּעֻלַּת צַדִּיק לְחַיִּים תְּבוּאַת רָשָׁע לְחַטָּֽאת׃ |
17 He that regardeth instruction, is in the way of life: but he that refuseth correction, goeth out of the way.
| אֹרַח לְחַיִּים שׁוֹמֵר מוּסָר וְעוֹזֵב תּוֹכַחַת מַתְעֶֽה׃ |
18 He that dissembleth hatred with lying lips, and he that inuenteth slaunder, is a foole.
| מְכַסֶּה שִׂנְאָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר וּמוֹצִא דִבָּה הוּא כְסִֽיל׃ |
19 In many wordes there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wise.
| בְּרֹב דְּבָרִים לֹא יֶחְדַּל־פָּשַׁע וְחֹשֵׂךְ שְׂפָתָיו מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃ |
20 The tongue of the iust man is as fined siluer: but the heart of the wicked is litle worth.
| כֶּסֶף נִבְחָר לְשׁוֹן צַדִּיק לֵב רְשָׁעִים כִּמְעָֽט׃ |
21 The lippes of the righteous doe feede many: but fooles shall die for want of wisedome.
| שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יִרְעוּ רַבִּים וֶֽאֱוִילִים בַּחֲסַר־לֵב יָמֽוּתוּ׃ |
22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh riche, and he doeth adde no sorowes with it.
| בִּרְכַּת יְהוָה הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר וְלֹֽא־יוֹסִף עֶצֶב עִמָּֽהּ׃ |
23 It is as a pastime to a foole to doe wickedly: but wisedome is vnderstanding to a man.
| כִּשְׂחוֹק לִכְסִיל עֲשׂוֹת זִמָּה וְחָכְמָה לְאִישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה׃ |
24 That which the wicked feareth, shall come vpon him: but God wil graunt the desire of the righteous.
| מְגוֹרַת רָשָׁע הִיא תְבוֹאֶנּוּ וְתַאֲוַת צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּֽן׃ |
25 As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is as an euerlasting foundation.
| כַּעֲבוֹר סוּפָה וְאֵין רָשָׁע וְצַדִּיק יְסוֹד עוֹלָֽם׃ |
26 As vineger is to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slouthful to them that send him.
| כַּחֹמֶץ ׀ לַשִּׁנַּיִם וְכֶעָשָׁן לָעֵינָיִם כֵּן הֶעָצֵל לְשֹׁלְחָֽיו׃ |
27 The feare of the Lord increaseth the dayes: but the yeeres of the wicked shalbe diminished.
| יִרְאַת יְהוָה תּוֹסִיף יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת רְשָׁעִים תִּקְצֹֽרְנָה׃ |
28 The patient abiding of the righteous shall be gladnesse: but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
| תּוֹחֶלֶת צַדִּיקִים שִׂמְחָה וְתִקְוַת רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵֽד׃ |
29 The way of the Lord is strength to the vpright man: but feare shall be for the workers of iniquitie.
| מָעוֹז לַתֹּם דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה וּמְחִתָּה לְפֹעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
30 The righteous shall neuer be remooued: but the wicked shall not dwell in the land.
| צַדִּיק לְעוֹלָם בַּל־יִמּוֹט וּרְשָׁעִים לֹא יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
31 The mouth of the iust shall be fruitfull in wisdome: but the tongue of the froward shall be cut out.
| פִּֽי־צַדִּיק יָנוּב חָכְמָה וּלְשׁוֹן תַּהְפֻּכוֹת תִּכָּרֵֽת׃ |
32 The lips of the righteous knowe what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh froward things.
| שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יֵדְעוּן רָצוֹן וּפִי רְשָׁעִים תַּהְפֻּכֽוֹת׃ |
