1My son, don't forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commands;1בְּ֭נִי תּוֹרָתִ֣י אַל־ תִּשְׁכָּ֑ח וּ֝מִצְוֺתַ֗י יִצֹּ֥ר לִבֶּֽךָ׃
2for they will bring you many days, a full life, and well-being.2כִּ֤י אֹ֣רֶךְ יָ֭מִים וּשְׁנ֣וֹת חַיִּ֑ים וְ֝שָׁל֗וֹם יוֹסִ֥יפוּ לָֽךְ׃
3Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you. Tie them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.3חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶ֗ת אַֽל־ יַעַ֫זְבֻ֥ךָ קָשְׁרֵ֥ם עַל־ גַּרְגְּרוֹתֶ֑יךָ כָּ֝תְבֵ֗ם עַל־ ל֥וּחַ לִבֶּֽךָ׃
4Then you will find favor and high regard with God and people.4וּמְצָא־ חֵ֖ן וְשֵֽׂכֶל־ ט֑וֹב בְּעֵינֵ֖י אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאָדָֽם׃ פ
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding;5בְּטַ֣ח אֶל־ יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־ לִבֶּ֑ךָ וְאֶל־ בִּֽ֝ינָתְךָ֗ אַל־ תִּשָּׁעֵֽן׃
6in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight.6בְּכָל־ דְּרָכֶ֥יךָ דָעֵ֑הוּ וְ֝ה֗וּא יְיַשֵּׁ֥ר אֹֽרְחֹתֶֽיךָ׃
7Don't be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.7אַל־ תְּהִ֣י חָכָ֣ם בְּעֵינֶ֑יךָ יְרָ֥א אֶת־ יְ֝הוָ֗ה וְס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃
8This will be healing for your body and strengthening for your bones.8רִ֭פְאוּת תְּהִ֣י לְשָׁרֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝שִׁקּ֗וּי לְעַצְמוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
9Honor the LORD with your possessions and with the first produce of your entire harvest;9כַּבֵּ֣ד אֶת־ יְ֭הוָה מֵהוֹנֶ֑ךָ וּ֝מֵרֵאשִׁ֗ית כָּל־ תְּבוּאָתֶֽךָ׃
10then your barns will be completely filled, and your vats will overflow with new wine.10וְיִמָּלְא֣וּ אֲסָמֶ֣יךָ שָׂבָ֑ע וְ֝תִיר֗וֹשׁ יְקָבֶ֥יךָ יִפְרֹֽצוּ׃ פ
11Do not despise the LORD's instruction, my son, and do not loathe his discipline;11מוּסַ֣ר יְ֭הוָה בְּנִ֣י אַל־ תִּמְאָ֑ס וְאַל־ תָּ֝קֹ֗ץ בְּתוֹכַחְתּֽוֹ׃
12for the LORD disciplines the one he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.12כִּ֤י אֶ֥ת אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֶאֱהַ֣ב יְהוָ֣ה יוֹכִ֑יחַ וּ֝כְאָ֗ב אֶת־ בֵּ֥ן יִרְצֶֽה׃
13Happy is a man who finds wisdom and who acquires understanding,13אַשְׁרֵ֣י אָ֭דָם מָצָ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝אָדָ֗ם יָפִ֥יק תְּבוּנָֽה׃
14for she is more profitable than silver, and her revenue is better than gold.14כִּ֤י ט֣וֹב סַ֭חְרָהּ מִסְּחַר־ כָּ֑סֶף וּ֝מֵחָר֗וּץ תְּבוּאָתָֽהּ׃
15She is more precious than jewels; nothing you desire can equal her.15יְקָ֣רָה הִ֭יא [מפניים] (מִפְּנִינִ֑ים) וְכָל־ חֲ֝פָצֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִֽשְׁווּ־ בָֽהּ׃
16Long life is in her right hand; in her left, riches and honor.16אֹ֣רֶךְ יָ֭מִים בִּֽימִינָ֑הּ בִּ֝שְׂמֹאולָ֗הּ עֹ֣שֶׁר וְכָבֽוֹד׃
17Her ways are pleasant, and all her paths, peaceful.17דְּרָכֶ֥יהָ דַרְכֵי־ נֹ֑עַם וְֽכָל־ נְתִ֖יבוֹתֶ֣יהָ שָׁלֽוֹם׃
18She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and those who hold on to her are happy.18עֵץ־ חַיִּ֣ים הִ֭יא לַמַּחֲזִיקִ֣ים בָּ֑הּ וְֽתֹמְכֶ֥יהָ מְאֻשָּֽׁר׃ פ
19The LORD founded the earth by wisdom and established the heavens by understanding.19יְֽהוָ֗ה בְּחָכְמָ֥ה יָֽסַד־ אָ֑רֶץ כּוֹנֵ֥ן שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם בִּתְבוּנָֽה׃
20By his knowledge the watery depths broke open, and the clouds dripped with dew.20בְּ֭דַעְתּוֹ תְּהוֹמ֣וֹת נִבְקָ֑עוּ וּ֝שְׁחָקִ֗ים יִרְעֲפוּ־ טָֽל׃
21Maintain sound wisdom and discretion. My son, don't lose sight of them.21בְּ֭נִי אַל־ יָלֻ֣זוּ מֵעֵינֶ֑יךָ נְצֹ֥ר תֻּ֝שִׁיָּ֗ה וּמְזִמָּֽה׃
22They will be life for you and adornment for your neck.22וְיִֽהְי֣וּ חַיִּ֣ים לְנַפְשֶׁ֑ךָ וְ֝חֵ֗ן לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶֽיךָ׃
23Then you will go safely on your way; your foot will not stumble.23אָ֤ז תֵּלֵ֣ךְ לָבֶ֣טַח דַּרְכֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝רַגְלְךָ֗ לֹ֣א תִגּֽוֹף׃
24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; you will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.24אִם־ תִּשְׁכַּ֥ב לֹֽא־ תִפְחָ֑ד וְ֝שָׁכַבְתָּ֗ וְֽעָרְבָ֥ה שְׁנָתֶֽךָ׃
25Don't fear sudden danger or the ruin of the wicked when it comes,25אַל־ תִּ֭ירָא מִפַּ֣חַד פִּתְאֹ֑ם וּמִשֹּׁאַ֥ת רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים כִּ֣י תָבֹֽא׃
26for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from a snare.26כִּֽי־ יְ֭הוָה יִהְיֶ֣ה בְכִסְלֶ֑ךָ וְשָׁמַ֖ר רַגְלְךָ֣ מִלָּֽכֶד׃
27When it is in your power, don't withhold good from the one to whom it belongs.27אַל־ תִּמְנַע־ ט֥וֹב מִבְּעָלָ֑יו בִּהְי֨וֹת לְאֵ֖ל [ידיך] (יָדְךָ֣) לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃
28Don't say to your neighbor, "Go away! Come back later. I'll give it tomorrow"--when it is there with you.28אַל־ תֹּ֘אמַ֤ר [לרעיך] (לְרֵֽעֲךָ֨ ׀) לֵ֣ךְ וָ֭שׁוּב וּמָחָ֥ר אֶתֵּ֗ן וְיֵ֣שׁ אִתָּֽךְ׃
29Don't plan any harm against your neighbor, for he trusts you and lives near you.29אַל־ תַּחֲרֹ֣שׁ עַל־ רֵעֲךָ֣ רָעָ֑ה וְהֽוּא־ יוֹשֵׁ֖ב לָבֶ֣טַח אִתָּֽךְ׃
30Don't accuse anyone without cause, when he has done you no harm.30אַל־ [תרוב] (תָּרִ֣יב) עִם־ אָדָ֣ם חִנָּ֑ם אִם־ לֹ֖א גְמָלְךָ֣ רָעָֽה׃
31Don't envy a violent man or choose any of his ways;31אַל־ תְּ֭קַנֵּא בְּאִ֣ישׁ חָמָ֑ס וְאַל־ תִּ֝בְחַ֗ר בְּכָל־ דְּרָכָֽיו׃
32for the devious are detestable to the LORD, but he is a friend to the upright.32כִּ֤י תוֹעֲבַ֣ת יְהוָ֣ה נָל֑וֹז וְֽאֶת־ יְשָׁרִ֥ים סוֹדֽוֹ׃
33The LORD's curse is on the household of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous;33מְאֵרַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה בְּבֵ֣ית רָשָׁ֑ע וּנְוֵ֖ה צַדִּיקִ֣ים יְבָרֵֽךְ׃
34He mocks those who mock, but gives grace to the humble.34אִם־ לַלֵּצִ֥ים הֽוּא־ יָלִ֑יץ [ולעניים] (וְ֝לַעֲנָוִ֗ים) יִתֶּן־ חֵֽן׃
35The wise will inherit honor, but he holds up fools to dishonor.35כָּ֭בוֹד חֲכָמִ֣ים יִנְחָ֑לוּ וּ֝כְסִילִ֗ים מֵרִ֥ים קָלֽוֹן׃ פ
