By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
A warrior of wisdom is strong, and a man of knowledge increases his strength;
6 ६ कारण शहाणपणाचे मार्गदर्शन घेऊन तू युध्द चालू करू शकतो; आणि पुष्कळ सल्लागारबरोबर असल्याने विजय मिळतो.
for by wise direction you can wage your war and with many advisors there is victory.
Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth.
There is one who plans to do evil— people call him a master of schemes.
A foolish plan is sin and men despise a mocker.
If you become weak with fear in the day of trouble, then your strength is small.
11 ११ ज्या कोणाला ठार मारण्यासाठी दूर घेऊन जात असतील तर त्यांना वाचव, ज्यांच्या वधाची तयारी झाली आहे त्यांचा बचाव करण्याचा होईल तितका प्रयत्न कर.
Rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter.
12 १२ जर तू म्हणशील, “तेथे! आम्हांस ह्याबद्दल काहीच माहित नव्हते.” तर तू काय म्हणतो हे जो कोणी हृदये तोलून पाहतो त्यास हे समजणार नाही का? आणि जो कोणी तुझ्या जिवाचे रक्षण करतो त्यास माहित नाही का? आणि देव प्रत्येकाला ज्याच्या त्याच्या कृतीप्रमाणे प्रतिफळ देत नाही कां?
If you say, “Behold, we knew nothing about this,” does not the one who weighs the heart understand what you are saying? The one who guards your life, does he not know it? Will God not give to each one what he deserves?

14 १४ त्याचप्रमाणे ज्ञान तुझ्या जिवासाठी आहे; जर तुला ते प्राप्त झाले, तर तेथे भविष्य आहे, आणि तुझी आशा कधीही तोडली जाणार नाही.
Such is wisdom for your soul— if you find it, there will be a future and your hope will not be cut off.
Do not lie in wait like the wicked person who attacks the house of the righteous person. Do not destroy his home!
16 १६ कारण जर कोणी मनुष्य चांगले करतो तो सात वेळा पडला तरी, तो पुन्हा उठतो, पण दुर्जनांचा संकटात विध्वंस होईल.

Do not celebrate when your enemy falls and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
or Yahweh will see and disapprove and turn away his wrath from him.
Do not worry because of evildoers, and do not envy wicked people,
for the evil person has no future and the lamp of wicked people will go out.

Fear Yahweh, and fear the king, my son; do not associate with those who rebel against them,
22 २२ कारण त्यांच्यावर अचानक विपत्ती येईल, आणि त्यांच्या वर्षाचा नाश त्या दोघांकडून केव्हा होईल कोण जाणे?
for suddenly their disaster will come and who knows the extent of the destruction that will come from both of them?
These also are sayings of the wise. Partiality in judging a case at law is not good.
24 २४ जो कोणी अपराधी मनुष्यास म्हणेल, तू योग्य आहेस; तर लोक शाप देतील आणि राष्ट्रे त्यांचा द्वेष करतील.

Thorns had grown up everywhere, the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction.
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
and poverty comes marching upon you, and your needs like an armed soldier.
