1Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips and unwise.
1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity Than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
2Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3The folly of a man supplanteth his steps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
3The foolishness of man subverteth his way; And his heart fretteth against Jehovah.
4Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
4Wealth addeth many friends; But the poor is separated from his friend.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall not escape.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall not escape.
6Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
6Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man; And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
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.
7All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth them with words, but they are gone.
8But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence, shall find good things.
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall perish.
10Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
10Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11The learning of a man is known by patience: and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
11The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; But his favor is as dew upon the grass.
13A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father; And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
14House and riches are an inheritance from fathers; But a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; But he that is careless of his ways shall die.
17He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto Jehovah, And his good deed will he pay him again.
18Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
18Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; And set not thy heart on his destruction.
19He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away, he shall add another thing.
19A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty; For if thou deliver him, thou must do it yet again.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
21There are many devices in a man’s heart; But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.
22A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
22That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness; And a poor man is better than a liar.
23The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in the fulness without being visited with evil.
23The fear of Jehovahtendethto life; And hethat hath itshall abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil.
24The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
24The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25The wicked man being scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man, he will understand discipline.
25Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
26He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.
27Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
27Cease, my son, to hear instruction Onlyto err from the words of knowledge.
