Proverbs 29
1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.
| אִישׁ תּוֹכָחוֹת מַקְשֶׁה־עֹרֶף פֶּתַע יִשָּׁבֵר וְאֵין מַרְפֵּֽא׃ |
2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
| בִּרְבוֹת צַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמַח הָעָם וּבִמְשֹׁל רָשָׁע יֵאָנַֽח עָֽם׃ |
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
| אִֽישׁ־אֹהֵב חָכְמָה יְשַׂמַּח אָבִיו וְרֹעֶה זוֹנוֹת יְאַבֶּד־הֽוֹן׃ |
4 The king by justice establisheth the land; but he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
| מֶלֶךְ בְּמִשְׁפָּט יַעֲמִיד אָרֶץ וְאִישׁ תְּרוּמוֹת יֶֽהֶרְסֶֽנָּה׃ |
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.
| גֶּבֶר מַחֲלִיק עַל־רֵעֵהוּ רֶשֶׁת פּוֹרֵשׂ עַל־פְּעָמָֽיו׃ |
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
| בְּפֶשַֽׁע אִישׁ רָע מוֹקֵשׁ וְצַדִּיק יָרוּן וְשָׂמֵֽחַ׃ |
7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.
| יֹדֵעַ צַדִּיק דִּין דַּלִּים רָשָׁע לֹא־יָבִין דָּֽעַת׃ |
8 Scornful men set a city in a blaze; but wise men turn away wrath.
| אַנְשֵׁי לָצוֹן יָפִיחוּ קִרְיָה וַחֲכָמִים יָשִׁיבוּ אָֽף׃ |
9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
| אִֽישׁ־חָכָם נִשְׁפָּט אֶת־אִישׁ אֱוִיל וְרָגַז וְשָׂחַק וְאֵין נָֽחַת׃ |
10 The men of blood hate him that is sincere; and as for the upright, they seek his life.
| אַנְשֵׁי דָמִים יִשְׂנְאוּ־תָם וִֽישָׁרִים יְבַקְשׁוּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
11 A fool spendeth all his spirit; but a wise man stilleth it within him.
| כָּל־רוּחוֹ יוֹצִיא כְסִיל וְחָכָם בְּאָחוֹר יְשַׁבְּחֶֽנָּה׃ |
12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
| מֹשֵׁל מַקְשִׁיב עַל־דְּבַר־שָׁקֶר כָּֽל־מְשָׁרְתָיו רְשָׁעִֽים׃ |
13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.
| רָשׁ וְאִישׁ תְּכָכִים נִפְגָּשׁוּ מֵאִיר־עֵינֵי שְׁנֵיהֶם יְהוֽ͏ָה׃ |
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
| מֶלֶךְ שׁוֹפֵט בֶּֽאֱמֶת דַּלִּים כִּסְאוֹ לָעַד יִכּֽוֹן׃ |
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
| שֵׁבֶט וְתוֹכַחַת יִתֵּן חָכְמָה וְנַעַר מְשֻׁלָּח מֵבִישׁ אִמּֽוֹ׃ |
16 When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.
| בִּרְבוֹת רְשָׁעִים יִרְבֶּה־פָּשַׁע וְצַדִּיקִים בְּֽמַפַּלְתָּם יִרְאֽוּ׃ |
17 Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
| יַסֵּר בִּנְךָ וִֽינִיחֶךָ וְיִתֵּן מַעֲדַנִּים לְנַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃ |
18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
| בְּאֵין חָזוֹן יִפָּרַֽע עָם וְשֹׁמֵר תּוֹרָה אַשְׁרֵֽהוּ׃ |
19 A servant will not be corrected by words; for though he understand, there will be no response.
| בִּדְבָרִים לֹא־יִוָּסֶר עָבֶד כִּֽי־יָבִין וְאֵין מַעֲנֶֽה׃ |
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.
| חָזִיתָ אִישׁ אָץ בִּדְבָרָיו תִּקְוָה לִכְסִיל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ |
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become master at the last.
| מְפַנֵּק מִנֹּעַר עַבְדּוֹ וְאַחֲרִיתוֹ יִהְיֶה מָנֽוֹן׃ |
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
| אִֽישׁ־אַף יְגָרֶה מָדוֹן וּבַעַל חֵמָה רַב־פָּֽשַׁע׃ |
23 A man's pride shall bring him low; but he that is of a lowly spirit shall attain to honour.
| גַּאֲוַת אָדָם תַּשְׁפִּילֶנּוּ וּשְׁפַל־רוּחַ יִתְמֹךְ כָּבֽוֹד׃ |
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
| חוֹלֵק עִם־גַּנָּב שׂוֹנֵא נַפְשׁוֹ אָלָה יִשְׁמַע וְלֹא יַגִּֽיד׃ |
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.
| חֶרְדַּת אָדָם יִתֵּן מוֹקֵשׁ וּבוֹטֵחַ בַּיהוָה יְשֻׂגָּֽב׃ |
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but a man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
| רַבִּים מְבַקְשִׁים פְּנֵי־מוֹשֵׁל וּמֵיְהוָה מִשְׁפַּט־אִֽישׁ׃ |
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
| תּוֹעֲבַת צַדִּיקִים אִישׁ עָוֶל וְתוֹעֲבַת רָשָׁע יְשַׁר־דָּֽרֶךְ׃ |
