1My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,1בְּ֭נִי תּוֹרָתִ֣י אַל־ תִּשְׁכָּ֑ח וּ֝מִצְוֺתַ֗י יִצֹּ֥ר לִבֶּֽךָ׃
2for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.2כִּ֤י אֹ֣רֶךְ יָ֭מִים וּשְׁנ֣וֹת חַיִּ֑ים וְ֝שָׁל֗וֹם יוֹסִ֥יפוּ לָֽךְ׃
3Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.3חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶ֗ת אַֽל־ יַעַ֫זְבֻ֥ךָ קָשְׁרֵ֥ם עַל־ גַּרְגְּרוֹתֶ֑יךָ כָּ֝תְבֵ֗ם עַל־ ל֥וּחַ לִבֶּֽךָ׃
4So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man.4וּמְצָא־ חֵ֖ן וְשֵֽׂכֶל־ ט֑וֹב בְּעֵינֵ֖י אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאָדָֽם׃ פ
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.5בְּטַ֣ח אֶל־ יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־ לִבֶּ֑ךָ וְאֶל־ בִּֽ֝ינָתְךָ֗ אַל־ תִּשָּׁעֵֽן׃
6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.6בְּכָל־ דְּרָכֶ֥יךָ דָעֵ֑הוּ וְ֝ה֗וּא יְיַשֵּׁ֥ר אֹֽרְחֹתֶֽיךָ׃
7Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.7אַל־ תְּהִ֣י חָכָ֣ם בְּעֵינֶ֑יךָ יְרָ֥א אֶת־ יְ֝הוָ֗ה וְס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃
8It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.8רִ֭פְאוּת תְּהִ֣י לְשָׁרֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝שִׁקּ֗וּי לְעַצְמוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
9Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce;9כַּבֵּ֣ד אֶת־ יְ֭הוָה מֵהוֹנֶ֑ךָ וּ֝מֵרֵאשִׁ֗ית כָּל־ תְּבוּאָתֶֽךָ׃
10then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.10וְיִמָּלְא֣וּ אֲסָמֶ֣יךָ שָׂבָ֑ע וְ֝תִיר֗וֹשׁ יְקָבֶ֥יךָ יִפְרֹֽצוּ׃ פ
11My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline or be weary of his reproof,11מוּסַ֣ר יְ֭הוָה בְּנִ֣י אַל־ תִּמְאָ֑ס וְאַל־ תָּ֝קֹ֗ץ בְּתוֹכַחְתּֽוֹ׃
12for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.12כִּ֤י אֶ֥ת אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֶאֱהַ֣ב יְהוָ֣ה יוֹכִ֑יחַ וּ֝כְאָ֗ב אֶת־ בֵּ֥ן יִרְצֶֽה׃
13Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,13אַשְׁרֵ֣י אָ֭דָם מָצָ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝אָדָ֗ם יָפִ֥יק תְּבוּנָֽה׃
14for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold.14כִּ֤י ט֣וֹב סַ֭חְרָהּ מִסְּחַר־ כָּ֑סֶף וּ֝מֵחָר֗וּץ תְּבוּאָתָֽהּ׃
15She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.15יְקָ֣רָה הִ֭יא [מפניים] (מִפְּנִינִ֑ים) וְכָל־ חֲ֝פָצֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִֽשְׁווּ־ בָֽהּ׃
16Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.16אֹ֣רֶךְ יָ֭מִים בִּֽימִינָ֑הּ בִּ֝שְׂמֹאולָ֗הּ עֹ֣שֶׁר וְכָבֽוֹד׃
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.17דְּרָכֶ֥יהָ דַרְכֵי־ נֹ֑עַם וְֽכָל־ נְתִ֖יבוֹתֶ֣יהָ שָׁלֽוֹם׃
18She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed.18עֵץ־ חַיִּ֣ים הִ֭יא לַמַּחֲזִיקִ֣ים בָּ֑הּ וְֽתֹמְכֶ֥יהָ מְאֻשָּֽׁר׃ פ
19The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens;19יְֽהוָ֗ה בְּחָכְמָ֥ה יָֽסַד־ אָ֑רֶץ כּוֹנֵ֥ן שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם בִּתְבוּנָֽה׃
20by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.20בְּ֭דַעְתּוֹ תְּהוֹמ֣וֹת נִבְקָ֑עוּ וּ֝שְׁחָקִ֗ים יִרְעֲפוּ־ טָֽל׃
21My son, do not lose sight of these— keep sound wisdom and discretion,21בְּ֭נִי אַל־ יָלֻ֣זוּ מֵעֵינֶ֑יךָ נְצֹ֥ר תֻּ֝שִׁיָּ֗ה וּמְזִמָּֽה׃
22and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.22וְיִֽהְי֣וּ חַיִּ֣ים לְנַפְשֶׁ֑ךָ וְ֝חֵ֗ן לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶֽיךָ׃
23Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble.23אָ֤ז תֵּלֵ֣ךְ לָבֶ֣טַח דַּרְכֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝רַגְלְךָ֗ לֹ֣א תִגּֽוֹף׃
24If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.24אִם־ תִּשְׁכַּ֥ב לֹֽא־ תִפְחָ֑ד וְ֝שָׁכַבְתָּ֗ וְֽעָרְבָ֥ה שְׁנָתֶֽךָ׃
25Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of 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 being caught.26כִּֽי־ יְ֭הוָה יִהְיֶ֣ה בְכִסְלֶ֑ךָ וְשָׁמַ֖ר רַגְלְךָ֣ מִלָּֽכֶד׃
27Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.27אַל־ תִּמְנַע־ ט֥וֹב מִבְּעָלָ֑יו בִּהְי֨וֹת לְאֵ֖ל [ידיך] (יָדְךָ֣) לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃
28Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.28אַל־ תֹּ֘אמַ֤ר [לרעיך] (לְרֵֽעֲךָ֨ ׀) לֵ֣ךְ וָ֭שׁוּב וּמָחָ֥ר אֶתֵּ֗ן וְיֵ֣שׁ אִתָּֽךְ׃
29Do not plan evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly beside you.29אַל־ תַּחֲרֹ֣שׁ עַל־ רֵעֲךָ֣ רָעָ֑ה וְהֽוּא־ יוֹשֵׁ֖ב לָבֶ֣טַח אִתָּֽךְ׃
30Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm.30אַל־ [תרוב] (תָּרִ֣יב) עִם־ אָדָ֣ם חִנָּ֑ם אִם־ לֹ֖א גְמָלְךָ֣ רָעָֽה׃
31Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways,31אַל־ תְּ֭קַנֵּא בְּאִ֣ישׁ חָמָ֑ס וְאַל־ תִּ֝בְחַ֗ר בְּכָל־ דְּרָכָֽיו׃
32for the devious person is an abomination to the LORD, but the upright are in his confidence.32כִּ֤י תוֹעֲבַ֣ת יְהוָ֣ה נָל֑וֹז וְֽאֶת־ יְשָׁרִ֥ים סוֹדֽוֹ׃
33The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.33מְאֵרַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה בְּבֵ֣ית רָשָׁ֑ע וּנְוֵ֖ה צַדִּיקִ֣ים יְבָרֵֽךְ׃
34Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor.34אִם־ לַלֵּצִ֥ים הֽוּא־ יָלִ֑יץ [ולעניים] (וְ֝לַעֲנָוִ֗ים) יִתֶּן־ חֵֽן׃
35The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace.35כָּ֭בוֹד חֲכָמִ֣ים יִנְחָ֑לוּ וּ֝כְסִילִ֗ים מֵרִ֥ים קָלֽוֹן׃ פ
