1He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.1אִ֣ישׁ תּ֭וֹכָחוֹת מַקְשֶׁה־ עֹ֑רֶף פֶּ֥תַע יִ֝שָּׁבֵ֗ר וְאֵ֣ין מַרְפֵּֽא׃
2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.2בִּרְב֣וֹת צַ֭דִּיקִים יִשְׂמַ֣ח הָעָ֑ם וּבִמְשֹׁ֥ל רָ֝שָׁ֗ע יֵאָ֥נַֽח עָֽם׃
3Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.3אִֽישׁ־ אֹהֵ֣ב חָ֭כְמָה יְשַׂמַּ֣ח אָבִ֑יו וְרֹעֶ֥ה ז֝וֹנ֗וֹת יְאַבֶּד־ הֽוֹן׃
4The king establishes the land by justice, But he who receives bribes overthrows it.4מֶ֗לֶךְ בְּ֭מִשְׁפָּט יַעֲמִ֣יד אָ֑רֶץ וְאִ֖ישׁ תְּרוּמ֣וֹת יֶֽהֶרְסֶֽנָּה׃
5A man who flatters his neighbor Spreads a net for his feet.5גֶּ֭בֶר מַחֲלִ֣יק עַל־ רֵעֵ֑הוּ רֶ֝֗שֶׁת פּוֹרֵ֥שׂ עַל־ פְּעָמָֽיו׃
6By transgression an evil man is snared, But the righteous sings and rejoices.6בְּפֶ֤שַֽׁע אִ֣ישׁ רָ֣ע מוֹקֵ֑שׁ וְ֝צַדִּ֗יק יָר֥וּן וְשָׂמֵֽחַ׃
7The righteous considers the cause of the poor, But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.7יֹדֵ֣עַ צַ֭דִּיק דִּ֣ין דַּלִּ֑ים רָ֝שָׁ֗ע לֹא־ יָבִ֥ין דָּֽעַת׃
8Scoffers set a city aflame, But wise men turn away wrath.8אַנְשֵׁ֣י לָ֭צוֹן יָפִ֣יחוּ קִרְיָ֑ה וַ֝חֲכָמִ֗ים יָשִׁ֥יבוּ אָֽף׃
9If a wise man contends with a foolish man, Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.9אִֽישׁ־ חָכָ֗ם נִ֭שְׁפָּט אֶת־ אִ֣ישׁ אֱוִ֑יל וְרָגַ֥ז וְ֝שָׂחַ֗ק וְאֵ֣ין נָֽחַת׃
10The bloodthirsty hate the blameless, But the upright seek his well-being.10אַנְשֵׁ֣י דָ֭מִים יִשְׂנְאוּ־ תָ֑ם וִֽ֝ישָׁרִ֗ים יְבַקְשׁ֥וּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
11A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.11כָּל־ ר֭וּחוֹ יוֹצִ֣יא כְסִ֑יל וְ֝חָכָ֗ם בְּאָח֥וֹר יְשַׁבְּחֶֽנָּה׃
12If a ruler pays attention to lies, All his servants become wicked.12מֹ֭שֵׁל מַקְשִׁ֣יב עַל־ דְּבַר־ שָׁ֑קֶר כָּֽל־ מְשָׁרְתָ֥יו רְשָׁעִֽים׃
13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.13רָ֤שׁ וְאִ֣ישׁ תְּכָכִ֣ים נִפְגָּ֑שׁוּ מֵ֤אִיר־ עֵינֵ֖י שְׁנֵיהֶ֣ם יְהוָֽה׃
14The king who judges the poor with truth, His throne will be established forever.14מֶ֤לֶךְ שׁוֹפֵ֣ט בֶּֽאֱמֶ֣ת דַּלִּ֑ים כִּ֝סְא֗וֹ לָעַ֥ד יִכּֽוֹן׃
15The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.15שֵׁ֣בֶט וְ֭תוֹכַחַת יִתֵּ֣ן חָכְמָ֑ה וְנַ֥עַר מְ֝שֻׁלָּ֗ח מֵבִ֥ישׁ אִמּֽוֹ׃
16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.16בִּרְב֣וֹת רְ֭שָׁעִים יִרְבֶּה־ פָּ֑שַׁע וְ֝צַדִּיקִ֗ים בְּֽמַפַּלְתָּ֥ם יִרְאֽוּ׃
17Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul.17יַסֵּ֣ר בִּ֭נְךָ וִֽינִיחֶ֑ךָ וְיִתֵּ֖ן מַעֲדַנִּ֣ים לְנַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃ פ
18Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.18בְּאֵ֣ין חָ֭זוֹן יִפָּ֣רַֽע עָ֑ם וְשֹׁמֵ֖ר תּוֹרָ֣ה אַשְׁרֵֽהוּ׃
19A servant will not be corrected by mere words; For though he understands, he will not respond.19בִּ֭דְבָרִים לֹא־ יִוָּ֣סֶר עָ֑בֶד כִּֽי־ יָ֝בִ֗ין וְאֵ֣ין מַעֲנֶֽה׃
20Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.20חָזִ֗יתָ אִ֭ישׁ אָ֣ץ בִּדְבָרָ֑יו תִּקְוָ֖ה לִכְסִ֣יל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
21He who pampers his servant from childhood Will have him as a son in the end.21מְפַנֵּ֣ק מִנֹּ֣עַר עַבְדּ֑וֹ וְ֝אַחֲרִית֗וֹ יִהְיֶ֥ה מָנֽוֹן׃
22An angry man stirs up strife, And a furious man abounds in transgression.22אִֽישׁ־ אַ֭ף יְגָרֶ֣ה מָד֑וֹן וּבַ֖עַל חֵמָ֣ה רַב־ פָּֽשַׁע׃
23A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.23גַּאֲוַ֣ת אָ֭דָם תַּשְׁפִּילֶ֑נּוּ וּשְׁפַל־ ר֝֗וּחַ יִתְמֹ֥ךְ כָּבֽוֹד׃
24Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.24חוֹלֵ֣ק עִם־ גַּ֭נָּב שׂוֹנֵ֣א נַפְשׁ֑וֹ אָלָ֥ה יִ֝שְׁמַ֗ע וְלֹ֣א יַגִּֽיד׃
25The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.25חֶרְדַּ֣ת אָ֭דָם יִתֵּ֣ן מוֹקֵ֑שׁ וּבוֹטֵ֖חַ בַּיהוָ֣ה יְשֻׂגָּֽב׃
26Many seek the ruler’s favor, But justice for man comes from the LORD.26רַ֭בִּים מְבַקְשִׁ֣ים פְּנֵי־ מוֹשֵׁ֑ל וּ֝מֵיְהוָ֗ה מִשְׁפַּט־ אִֽישׁ׃
27An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.27תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת צַ֭דִּיקִים אִ֣ישׁ עָ֑וֶל וְתוֹעֲבַ֖ת רָשָׁ֣ע יְשַׁר־ דָּֽרֶךְ׃ פ
