1Better is a poor [man] that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
1Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips and unwise.
2Also that a person be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet maketh false steps.
2Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
3The folly of man distorteth his way, and his heart is irritated against Jehovah.
3The folly of a man supplanteth his steps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
4Wealth addeth many friends; but the poor is separated from his friend.
4Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
5A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall not escape.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall not escape.
6Many court the favour of a noble; and every one is friend to a man that giveth.
6Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
7All the brethren of a poor [man] hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him: he pursueth [them] with words, — they are not [to be found].
7The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
8He that getteth sense loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
8But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence, shall find good things.
9A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall perish.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
10Good living beseemeth not a fool; how much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
10Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
11The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
11The learning of a man is known by patience: and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
12The king's displeasure is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
12As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
13A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
14House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
14House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.
16He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
17He that is gracious to the poor lendeth unto Jehovah; and what he hath bestowed will he repay unto him.
17He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
18Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; but set not thy soul upon killing him.
18Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou deliver [him], yet thou must do it again.
19He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away, he shall add another thing.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
21Many are the thoughts in a man's heart, but the counsel of Jehovah, that doth stand.
21There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
22The charm of a man is his kindness; and a poor [man] is better than a liar.
22A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
23The fear of Jehovah [tendeth] to life, and he [that hath it] shall rest satisfied without being visited with evil.
23The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in the fulness without being visited with evil.
24A sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not even bring it to his mouth again.
24The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; reprove the intelligent, and he will understand knowledge.
25The wicked man being scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man, he will understand discipline.
26He that ruineth [his] father and chaseth away [his] mother is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.
26He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction which causeth to stray from the words of knowledge.
27Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
