< מִשְׁלֵי 10 >

מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֵּן חָכָם יְשַׂמַּח־אָב וּבֵן כְּסִיל תּוּגַת אִמּֽוֹ׃ 1
A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.
לֹֽא־יוֹעִילוּ אוֹצְרוֹת רֶשַׁע וּצְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּֽוֶת׃ 2
Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death.
לֹא־יַרְעִיב יְהֹוָה נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְהַוַּת רְשָׁעִים יֶהְדֹּֽף׃ 3
The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.
רָאשׁ עֹשֶׂה כַף־רְמִיָּה וְיַד חָרוּצִים תַּעֲשִֽׁיר׃ 4
The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.
אֹגֵר בַּקַּיִץ בֵּן מַשְׂכִּיל נִרְדָּם בַּקָּצִיר בֵּן מֵבִֽישׁ׃ 5
He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.
בְּרָכוֹת לְרֹאשׁ צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָֽס׃ 6
The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.
זֵכֶר צַדִּיק לִבְרָכָה וְשֵׁם רְשָׁעִים יִרְקָֽב׃ 7
The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.
חֲכַם־לֵב יִקַּח מִצְוֺת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ 8
The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.
הוֹלֵךְ בַּתֹּם יֵלֶךְ בֶּטַח וּמְעַקֵּשׁ דְּרָכָיו יִוָּדֵֽעַ׃ 9
He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.
קֹרֵֽץ עַיִן יִתֵּן עַצָּבֶת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ 10
He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten.
מְקוֹר חַיִּים פִּי צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָֽס׃ 11
The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.
שִׂנְאָה תְּעֹרֵר מְדָנִים וְעַל כׇּל־פְּשָׁעִים תְּכַסֶּה אַהֲבָֽה׃ 12
Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.
בְּשִׂפְתֵי נָבוֹן תִּמָּצֵא חׇכְמָה וְשֵׁבֶט לְגֵו חֲסַר־לֵֽב׃ 13
In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.
חֲכָמִים יִצְפְּנוּ־דָעַת וּפִֽי־אֱוִיל מְחִתָּה קְרֹבָֽה׃ 14
Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.
הוֹן עָשִׁיר קִרְיַת עֻזּוֹ מְחִתַּת דַּלִּים רֵישָֽׁם׃ 15
The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.
פְּעֻלַּת צַדִּיק לְחַיִּים תְּבוּאַת רָשָׁע לְחַטָּֽאת׃ 16
The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin.
אֹרַח לְחַיִּים שׁוֹמֵר מוּסָר וְעֹזֵב תּוֹכַחַת מַתְעֶֽה׃ 17
The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray.
מְכַסֶּה שִׂנְאָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר וּמוֹצִא דִבָּה הוּא כְסִֽיל׃ 18
Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish.
בְּרֹב דְּבָרִים לֹא יֶחְדַּל־פָּשַׁע וְחוֹשֵׂךְ שְׂפָתָיו מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃ 19
In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise.
כֶּסֶף נִבְחָר לְשׁוֹן צַדִּיק לֵב רְשָׁעִים כִּמְעָֽט׃ 20
The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.
שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יִרְעוּ רַבִּים וֶאֱוִילִים בַּחֲסַר־לֵב יָמֽוּתוּ׃ 21
The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.
בִּרְכַּת יְהֹוָה הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר וְלֹֽא־יוֹסִף עֶצֶב עִמָּֽהּ׃ 22
The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.
כִּשְׂחוֹק לִכְסִיל עֲשׂוֹת זִמָּה וְחׇכְמָה לְאִישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה׃ 23
A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.
מְגוֹרַת רָשָׁע הִיא תְבוֹאֶנּוּ וְתַאֲוַת צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּֽן׃ 24
That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.
כַּעֲבוֹר סוּפָה וְאֵין רָשָׁע וְצַדִּיק יְסוֹד עוֹלָֽם׃ 25
As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.
כַּחֹמֶץ ׀ לַשִּׁנַּיִם וְכֶעָשָׁן לָעֵינָיִם כֵּן הֶעָצֵל לְשֹׁלְחָֽיו׃ 26
As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.
יִרְאַת יְהֹוָה תּוֹסִיף יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת רְשָׁעִים תִּקְצֹֽרְנָה׃ 27
The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
תּוֹחֶלֶת צַדִּיקִים שִׂמְחָה וְתִקְוַת רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵֽד׃ 28
The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
מָעוֹז לַתֹּם דֶּרֶךְ יְהֹוָה וּמְחִתָּה לְפֹעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ 29
The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.
צַדִּיק לְעוֹלָם בַּל־יִמּוֹט וּרְשָׁעִים לֹא יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָֽרֶץ׃ 30
The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth.
פִּֽי־צַדִּיק יָנוּב חׇכְמָה וּלְשׁוֹן תַּהְפֻּכוֹת תִּכָּרֵֽת׃ 31
The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish.
שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יֵדְעוּן רָצוֹן וּפִי רְשָׁעִים תַּהְפֻּכֽוֹת׃ 32
The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things.
