Proverbs 10
1 A wise son makes [his] father glad: but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
| מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֵּן חָכָם יְשַׂמַּח־אָב וּבֵן כְּסִיל תּוּגַת אִמּֽוֹ׃ |
2 Treasures shall not profit the lawless: but righteousness shall deliver from death.
| לֹֽא־יוֹעִילוּ אוֹצְרוֹת רֶשַׁע וּצְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּֽוֶת׃ |
3 The Lord will not famish a righteous soul: but he will overthrow the life of the ungodly.
| לֹא־יַרְעִיב יְהֹוָה נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְהַוַּת רְשָׁעִים יֶהְדֹּֽף׃ |
4 Poverty brings a man low: but the hands of the vigorous make rich. A son who is instructed shall be wise, and shall use the fool for a servant.
| רָאשׁ עֹשֶׂה כַף־רְמִיָּה וְיַד חָרוּצִים תַּעֲשִֽׁיר׃ |
5 A wise son is saved from heat: but a lawless son is blighted of the winds in harvest.
| אֹגֵר בַּקַּיִץ בֵּן מַשְׂכִּיל נִרְדָּם בַּקָּצִיר בֵּן מֵבִֽישׁ׃ |
6 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but untimely grief shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
| בְּרָכוֹת לְרֹאשׁ צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָֽס׃ |
7 The memory of the just is praised; but the name of the ungodly [man] is extinguished.
| זֵכֶר צַדִּיק לִבְרָכָה וְשֵׁם רְשָׁעִים יִרְקָֽב׃ |
8 A wise man in heart will receive commandments; but he that is unguarded in his lips shall be overthrown in his perverseness.
| חֲכַם־לֵב יִקַּח מִצְוֺת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ |
9 He that walks simply, walks confidently; but he that perverts his ways shall be known.
| הוֹלֵךְ בַּתֹּם יֵלֶךְ בֶּטַח וּמְעַקֵּשׁ דְּרָכָיו יִוָּדֵֽעַ׃ |
10 He that winks with his eyes deceitfully, procures griefs for men; but he that reproves boldly is a peacemaker.
| קֹרֵֽץ עַיִן יִתֵּן עַצָּבֶת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ |
11 [There is] a fountain of life in the hand of a righteous man; but destruction shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
| מְקוֹר חַיִּים פִּי צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָֽס׃ |
12 Hatred stirs up strife; but affection covers all that do not love strife.
| שִׂנְאָה תְּעֹרֵר מְדָנִים וְעַל כׇּל־פְּשָׁעִים תְּכַסֶּה אַהֲבָֽה׃ |
13 He that brings forth wisdom from his lips smites the fool with a rod.
| בְּשִׂפְתֵי נָבוֹן תִּמָּצֵא חׇכְמָה וְשֵׁבֶט לְגֵו חֲסַר־לֵֽב׃ |
14 The wise will hide discretion; but the mouth of the hasty draws near to ruin.
| חֲכָמִים יִצְפְּנוּ־דָעַת וּפִֽי־אֱוִיל מְחִתָּה קְרֹבָֽה׃ |
15 The wealth of rich men is a strong city; but poverty is the ruin of the ungodly.
| הוֹן עָשִׁיר קִרְיַת עֻזּוֹ מְחִתַּת דַּלִּים רֵישָֽׁם׃ |
16 The works of the righteous produce life; but the fruits of the ungodly [produce] sins.
| פְּעֻלַּת צַדִּיק לְחַיִּים תְּבוּאַת רָשָׁע לְחַטָּֽאת׃ |
17 Instruction keeps the right ways of life; but instruction unchastened goes astray.
| אֹרַח לְחַיִּים שׁוֹמֵר מוּסָר וְעֹזֵב תּוֹכַחַת מַתְעֶֽה׃ |
18 Righteous lips cover enmity; but they that utter railings are most foolish.
| מְכַסֶּה שִׂנְאָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר וּמוֹצִא דִבָּה הוּא כְסִֽיל׃ |
19 By a multitude of words you shall not escape sin; but if you refrain your lips you will be prudent.
| בְּרֹב דְּבָרִים לֹא יֶחְדַּל־פָּשַׁע וְחוֹשֵׂךְ שְׂפָתָיו מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃ |
20 The tongue of the just is tried silver; but the heart of the ungodly shall fail.
| כֶּסֶף נִבְחָר לְשׁוֹן צַדִּיק לֵב רְשָׁעִים כִּמְעָֽט׃ |
21 The lips of the righteous know sublime [truths]: but the foolish die in lack.
| שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יִרְעוּ רַבִּים וֶאֱוִילִים בַּחֲסַר־לֵב יָמֽוּתוּ׃ |
22 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous; it enriches [him], and grief of heart shall not be added to [it].
| בִּרְכַּת יְהֹוָה הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר וְלֹֽא־יוֹסִף עֶצֶב עִמָּֽהּ׃ |
23 A fool does mischief in sport; but wisdom brings forth prudence for a man.
| כִּשְׂחוֹק לִכְסִיל עֲשׂוֹת זִמָּה וְחׇכְמָה לְאִישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה׃ |
24 The ungodly is engulfed in destruction; but the desire of the righteous is acceptable.
| מְגוֹרַת רָשָׁע הִיא תְבוֹאֶנּוּ וְתַאֲוַת צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּֽן׃ |
25 When the storm passes by, the ungodly vanishes away; but the righteous turns aside and escapes for ever.
| כַּעֲבוֹר סוּפָה וְאֵין רָשָׁע וְצַדִּיק יְסוֹד עוֹלָֽם׃ |
26 As a sour grape is hurtful to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so iniquity hurts those that practise it.
| כַּחֹמֶץ ׀ לַשִּׁנַּיִם וְכֶעָשָׁן לָעֵינָיִם כֵּן הֶעָצֵל לְשֹׁלְחָֽיו׃ |
27 The fear of the Lord adds [length] of days: but the years of the ungodly shall be shortened.
| יִרְאַת יְהֹוָה תּוֹסִיף יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת רְשָׁעִים תִּקְצֹֽרְנָה׃ |
28 Joy rests long with the righteous: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
| תּוֹחֶלֶת צַדִּיקִים שִׂמְחָה וְתִקְוַת רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵֽד׃ |
29 The fear of the Lord is a strong hold of the saints: but ruin [comes] to them that work wickedness.
| מָעוֹז לַתֹּם דֶּרֶךְ יְהֹוָה וּמְחִתָּה לְפֹעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
30 The righteous shall never fail: but the ungodly shall not dwell in the earth.
| צַדִּיק לְעוֹלָם בַּל־יִמּוֹט וּרְשָׁעִים לֹא יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
31 The mouth of the righteous drops wisdom: but the tongue of the unjust shall perish.
| פִּֽי־צַדִּיק יָנוּב חׇכְמָה וּלְשׁוֹן תַּהְפֻּכוֹת תִּכָּרֵֽת׃ |
32 The lips of just men drop grace: but the mouth of the ungodly is perverse.
| שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יֵדְעוּן רָצוֹן וּפִי רְשָׁעִים תַּהְפֻּכֽוֹת׃ |
