Proverbs 13
1 A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
| בֵּן חָכָם מוּסַר אָב וְלֵץ לֹא־שָׁמַע גְּעָרָֽה׃ |
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
| מִפְּרִי פִי־אִישׁ יֹאכַל טוֹב וְנֶפֶשׁ בֹּגְדִים חָמָֽס׃ |
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
| נֹצֵר פִּיו שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹ פֹּשֵׂק שְׂפָתָיו מְחִתָּה־לֽוֹ׃ |
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
| מִתְאַוָּה וָאַיִן נַפְשׁוֹ עָצֵל וְנֶפֶשׁ חָרֻצִים תְּדֻשָּֽׁן׃ |
5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
| דְּבַר־שֶׁקֶר יִשְׂנָא צַדִּיק וְרָשָׁע יַבְאִישׁ וְיַחְפִּֽיר׃ |
6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
| צְדָקָה תִּצֹּר תׇּם־דָּרֶךְ וְרִשְׁעָה תְּסַלֵּף חַטָּֽאת׃ |
7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
| יֵשׁ מִתְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵין כֹּל מִתְרוֹשֵׁשׁ וְהוֹן רָֽב׃ |
8 The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
| כֹּפֶר נֶֽפֶשׁ־אִישׁ עׇשְׁרוֹ וְרָשׁ לֹֽא־שָׁמַע גְּעָרָֽה׃ |
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
| אוֹר־צַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמָח וְנֵר רְשָׁעִים יִדְעָֽךְ׃ |
10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
| רַק־בְּזָדוֹן יִתֵּן מַצָּה וְאֶת־נוֹעָצִים חׇכְמָֽה׃ |
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
| הוֹן מֵהֶבֶל יִמְעָט וְקֹבֵץ עַל־יָד יַרְבֶּֽה׃ |
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
| תּוֹחֶלֶת מְמֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה־לֵב וְעֵץ חַיִּים תַּאֲוָה בָאָֽה׃ |
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
| בָּז לְדָבָר יֵחָבֶל לוֹ וִירֵא מִצְוָה הוּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם׃ |
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
| תּוֹרַת חָכָם מְקוֹר חַיִּים לָסוּר מִמֹּקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ |
15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
| שֵֽׂכֶל־טוֹב יִתֶּן־חֵן וְדֶרֶךְ בֹּגְדִים אֵיתָֽן׃ |
16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
| כׇּל־עָרוּם יַעֲשֶׂה בְדָעַת וּכְסִיל יִפְרֹשׂ אִוֶּֽלֶת׃ |
17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
| מַלְאָךְ רָשָׁע יִפֹּל בְּרָע וְצִיר אֱמוּנִים מַרְפֵּֽא׃ |
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
| רֵישׁ וְקָלוֹן פּוֹרֵעַ מוּסָר וְשֹׁמֵר תּוֹכַחַת יְכֻבָּֽד׃ |
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
| תַּאֲוָה נִהְיָה תֶּעֱרַב לְנָפֶשׁ וְתוֹעֲבַת כְּסִילִים סוּר מֵרָֽע׃ |
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
| (הלוך) [הוֹלֵךְ] אֶת־חֲכָמִים (וחכם) [יֶחְכָּם] וְרֹעֶה כְסִילִים יֵרֽוֹעַ׃ |
21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
| חַטָּאִים תְּרַדֵּף רָעָה וְאֶת־צַדִּיקִים יְשַׁלֶּם־טֽוֹב׃ |
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
| טוֹב יַנְחִיל בְּנֵֽי־בָנִים וְצָפוּן לַצַּדִּיק חֵיל חוֹטֵֽא׃ |
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
| רׇב־אֹכֶל נִיר רָאשִׁים וְיֵשׁ נִסְפֶּה בְּלֹא מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
| חוֹשֵׂךְ שִׁבְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵא בְנוֹ וְאֹהֲבוֹ שִׁחֲרוֹ מוּסָֽר׃ |
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
| צַדִּיק אֹכֵֽל לְשֹׂבַע נַפְשׁוֹ וּבֶטֶן רְשָׁעִים תֶּחְסָֽר׃ |
