Proverbs 10
1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother.
| מִשְׁלֵ֗י שְׁלֹ֫מֹ֥ה פ בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם יְשַׂמַּח־אָ֑ב וּבֵ֥ן כְּ֝סִ֗יל תּוּגַ֥ת אִמֹּֽו׃ |
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
| לֹא־יֹ֭ועִילוּ אֹוצְרֹ֣ות רֶ֑שַׁע וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה תַּצִּ֥יל מִמָּֽוֶת׃ |
3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
| לֹֽא־יַרְעִ֣יב יְ֭הוָה נֶ֣פֶשׁ צַדִּ֑יק וְהַוַּ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים יֶהְדֹּֽף׃ |
4 He becometh poor that dealeth [with] a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
| רָ֗אשׁ עֹשֶׂ֥ה כַף־רְמִיָּ֑ה וְיַ֖ד חָרוּצִ֣ים תַּעֲשִֽׁיר׃ |
5 He that gathereth in summer [is] a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame.
| אֹגֵ֣ר בַּ֭קַּיִץ בֵּ֣ן מַשְׂכִּ֑יל נִרְדָּ֥ם בַּ֝קָּצִ֗יר בֵּ֣ן מֵבִֽישׁ׃ |
6 Blessings [are] upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
| בְּ֭רָכֹות לְרֹ֣אשׁ צַדִּ֑יק וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יְכַסֶּ֥ה חָמָֽס׃ |
7 The memory of the just [is] blessed: but the name of the wicked shall perish.
| זֵ֣כֶר צַ֭דִּיק לִבְרָכָ֑ה וְשֵׁ֖ם רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִרְקָֽב׃ |
8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
| חֲכַם־לֵ֭ב יִקַּ֣ח מִצְוֹ֑ת וֶאֱוִ֥יל שְׂ֝פָתַ֗יִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ |
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
| הֹולֵ֣ךְ בַּ֭תֹּם יֵ֣לֶךְ בֶּ֑טַח וּמְעַקֵּ֥שׁ דְּ֝רָכָ֗יו יִוָּדֵֽעַ׃ |
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
| קֹ֣רֵֽץ עַ֭יִן יִתֵּ֣ן עַצָּ֑בֶת וֶאֱוִ֥יל שְׂ֝פָתַ֗יִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ |
11 The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
| מְקֹ֣ור חַ֭יִּים פִּ֣י צַדִּ֑יק וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יְכַסֶּ֥ה חָמָֽס׃ |
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
| שִׂ֭נְאָה תְּעֹורֵ֣ר מְדָנִ֑ים וְעַ֥ל כָּל־פְּ֝שָׁעִ֗ים תְּכַסֶּ֥ה אַהֲבָֽה׃ |
13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod [is] for the back of him that is void of understanding.
| בְּשִׂפְתֵ֣י נָ֭בֹון תִּמָּצֵ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝שֵׁ֗בֶט לְגֵ֣ו חֲסַר־לֵֽב׃ |
14 Wise [men] lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish [is] near destruction.
| חֲכָמִ֥ים יִצְפְּנוּ־דָ֑עַת וּפִֽי־אֱ֝וִיל מְחִתָּ֥ה קְרֹבָֽה׃ |
15 The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty.
| הֹ֣ון עָ֭שִׁיר קִרְיַ֣ת עֻזֹּ֑ו מְחִתַּ֖ת דַּלִּ֣ים רֵישָֽׁם׃ |
16 The labor of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
| פְּעֻלַּ֣ת צַדִּ֣יק לְחַיִּ֑ים תְּבוּאַ֖ת רָשָׁ֣ע לְחַטָּֽאת׃ |
17 He [is in] the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
| אֹ֣רַח לְ֭חַיִּים שֹׁומֵ֣ר מוּסָ֑ר וְעֹוזֵ֖ב תֹּוכַ֣חַת מַתְעֶֽה׃ |
18 He that hideth hatred [with] lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, [is] a fool.
| מְכַסֶּ֣ה שִׂ֭נְאָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁ֑קֶר וּמֹוצִ֥א דִ֝בָּ֗ה ה֣וּא כְסִֽיל׃ |
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that restraineth his lips [is] wise.
| בְּרֹ֣ב דְּ֭בָרִים לֹ֣א יֶחְדַּל־פָּ֑שַׁע וְחֹשֵׂ֖ךְ שְׂפָתָ֣יו מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃ |
20 The tongue of the just [is as] choice silver: the heart of the wicked [is] little worth.
| כֶּ֣סֶף נִ֭בְחָר לְשֹׁ֣ון צַדִּ֑יק לֵ֖ב רְשָׁעִ֣ים כִּמְעָֽט׃ |
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
| שִׂפְתֵ֣י צַ֭דִּיק יִרְע֣וּ רַבִּ֑ים וֶֽ֝אֱוִילִ֗ים בַּחֲסַר־לֵ֥ב יָמֽוּתוּ׃ |
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
| בִּרְכַּ֣ת יְ֭הוָה הִ֣יא תַעֲשִׁ֑יר וְלֹֽא־יֹוסִ֖ף עֶ֣צֶב עִמָּֽהּ׃ |
23 [It is] as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
| כִּשְׂחֹ֣וק לִ֭כְסִיל עֲשֹׂ֣ות זִמָּ֑ה וְ֝חָכְמָ֗ה לְאִ֣ישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה׃ |
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
| מְגֹורַ֣ת רָ֭שָׁע הִ֣יא תְבֹואֶ֑נּוּ וְתַאֲוַ֖ת צַדִּיקִ֣ים יִתֵּֽן׃ |
25 As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked no [more]: but the righteous [is] an everlasting foundation.
| כַּעֲבֹ֣ור ס֭וּפָה וְאֵ֣ין רָשָׁ֑ע וְ֝צַדִּ֗יק יְסֹ֣וד עֹולָֽם׃ |
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so [is] the sluggard to them that send him.
| כַּחֹ֤מֶץ ׀ לַשִּׁנַּ֗יִם וְכֶעָשָׁ֥ן לָעֵינָ֑יִם כֵּ֥ן הֶ֝עָצֵ֗ל לְשֹׁלְחָֽיו׃ |
27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
| יִרְאַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה תֹּוסִ֣יף יָמִ֑ים וּשְׁנֹ֖ות רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּקְצֹֽרְנָה׃ |
28 The hope of the righteous [shall be] gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
| תֹּוחֶ֣לֶת צַדִּיקִ֣ים שִׂמְחָ֑ה וְתִקְוַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃ |
29 The way of the LORD [is] strength to the upright: but destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity.
| מָעֹ֣וז לַ֭תֹּם דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝מְחִתָּ֗ה לְפֹ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
| צַדִּ֣יק לְעֹולָ֣ם בַּל־יִמֹּ֑וט וּ֝רְשָׁעִ֗ים לֹ֣א יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
| פִּֽי־צַ֭דִּיק יָנ֣וּב חָכְמָ֑ה וּלְשֹׁ֥ון תַּ֝הְפֻּכֹ֗ות תִּכָּרֵֽת׃ |
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness.
| שִׂפְתֵ֣י צַ֭דִּיק יֵדְע֣וּן רָצֹ֑ון וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים תַּהְפֻּכֹֽות׃ |
