1The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. 1מִשְׁלֵ֗י שְׁלֹ֫מֹ֥ה פ בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם יְשַׂמַּח־ אָ֑ב וּבֵ֥ן כְּ֝סִ֗יל תּוּגַ֥ת אִמּֽוֹ׃
2Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but righteousness brings deliverance from death. 2לֹא־ י֭וֹעִילוּ אוֹצְר֣וֹת רֶ֑שַׁע וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה תַּצִּ֥יל מִמָּֽוֶת׃
3The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry, but He denies the craving of the wicked. 3לֹֽא־ יַרְעִ֣יב יְ֭הוָה נֶ֣פֶשׁ צַדִּ֑יק וְהַוַּ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים יֶהְדֹּֽף׃
4Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. 4רָ֗אשׁ עֹשֶׂ֥ה כַף־ רְמִיָּ֑ה וְיַ֖ד חָרוּצִ֣ים תַּעֲשִֽׁיר׃
5He who gathers in summer [is] a wise son, [but] he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son. 5אֹגֵ֣ר בַּ֭קַּיִץ בֵּ֣ן מַשְׂכִּ֑יל נִרְדָּ֥ם בַּ֝קָּצִ֗יר בֵּ֣ן מֵבִֽישׁ׃
6Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. 6בְּ֭רָכוֹת לְרֹ֣אשׁ צַדִּ֑יק וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יְכַסֶּ֥ה חָמָֽס׃
7The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot. 7זֵ֣כֶר צַ֭דִּיק לִבְרָכָ֑ה וְשֵׁ֖ם רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִרְקָֽב׃
8A wise heart will receive commandments, but foolish lips will come to ruin. 8חֲכַם־ לֵ֭ב יִקַּ֣ח מִצְוֺ֑ת וֶאֱוִ֥יל שְׂ֝פָתַ֗יִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃
9He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out. 9הוֹלֵ֣ךְ בַּ֭תֹּם יֵ֣לֶךְ בֶּ֑טַח וּמְעַקֵּ֥שׁ דְּ֝רָכָ֗יו יִוָּדֵֽעַ׃
10He who winks the eye causes grief, and foolish lips will come to ruin. 10קֹ֣רֵֽץ‪‬ עַ֭יִן יִתֵּ֣ן עַצָּ֑בֶת וֶאֱוִ֥יל שְׂ֝פָתַ֗יִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃
11The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. 11מְק֣וֹר חַ֭יִּים פִּ֣י צַדִּ֑יק וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יְכַסֶּ֥ה חָמָֽס׃
12Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions. 12שִׂ֭נְאָה תְּעוֹרֵ֣ר מְדָנִ֑ים וְעַ֥ל כָּל־ פְּ֝שָׁעִ֗ים תְּכַסֶּ֥ה אַהֲבָֽה׃
13Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks judgment. 13בְּשִׂפְתֵ֣י נָ֭בוֹן תִּמָּצֵ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝שֵׁ֗בֶט לְגֵ֣ו חֲסַר־ לֵֽב׃
14The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of the fool invites destruction. 14חֲכָמִ֥ים יִצְפְּנוּ־ דָ֑עַת וּפִֽי־ אֱ֝וִיל מְחִתָּ֥ה קְרֹבָֽה׃
15The wealth of the rich man is his fortified city, but poverty is the ruin of the poor. 15ה֣וֹן עָ֭שִׁיר קִרְיַ֣ת עֻזּ֑וֹ מְחִתַּ֖ת דַּלִּ֣ים רֵישָֽׁם׃
16The labor of the righteous leads to life, [but] the gain of the wicked [brings] punishment. 16פְּעֻלַּ֣ת צַדִּ֣יק לְחַיִּ֑ים תְּבוּאַ֖ת רָשָׁ֣ע לְחַטָּֽאת׃
17Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who ignores reproof goes astray. 17אֹ֣רַח לְ֭חַיִּים שׁוֹמֵ֣ר מוּסָ֑ר וְעוֹזֵ֖ב תּוֹכַ֣חַת מַתְעֶֽה׃
18The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool. 18מְכַסֶּ֣ה שִׂ֭נְאָה שִׂפְתֵי־ שָׁ֑קֶר וּמוֹצִ֥א דִ֝בָּ֗ה ה֣וּא כְסִֽיל׃
19When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise. 19בְּרֹ֣ב דְּ֭בָרִים לֹ֣א יֶחְדַּל־ פָּ֑שַׁע וְחֹשֵׂ֖ךְ שְׂפָתָ֣יו מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃
20The tongue of the righteous [is] choice silver, [but] the heart of the wicked [has] little worth. 20כֶּ֣סֶף נִ֭בְחָר לְשׁ֣וֹן צַדִּ֑יק לֵ֖ב רְשָׁעִ֣ים כִּמְעָֽט׃
21The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of judgment. 21שִׂפְתֵ֣י צַ֭דִּיק יִרְע֣וּ רַבִּ֑ים וֶֽ֝אֱוִילִ֗ים בַּחֲסַר־ לֵ֥ב יָמֽוּתוּ׃
22The blessing of the LORD enriches, and He adds no sorrow to it. 22בִּרְכַּ֣ת יְ֭הוָה הִ֣יא תַעֲשִׁ֑יר וְלֹֽא־ יוֹסִ֖ף עֶ֣צֶב עִמָּֽהּ׃
23The fool delights in shameful conduct, but a man of understanding has wisdom. 23כִּשְׂח֣וֹק לִ֭כְסִיל עֲשׂ֣וֹת זִמָּ֑ה וְ֝חָכְמָ֗ה לְאִ֣ישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה׃
24What the wicked dreads will overtake him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted. 24מְגוֹרַ֣ת רָ֭שָׁע הִ֣יא תְבוֹאֶ֑נּוּ וְתַאֲוַ֖ת צַדִּיקִ֣ים יִתֵּֽן׃
25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the righteous are secure forever. 25כַּעֲב֣וֹר ס֭וּפָה וְאֵ֣ין רָשָׁ֑ע וְ֝צַדִּ֗יק יְס֣וֹד עוֹלָֽם׃
26Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so [is] the sluggard to those who send him. 26כַּחֹ֤מֶץ ׀ לַשִּׁנַּ֗יִם וְכֶעָשָׁ֥ן לָעֵינָ֑יִם כֵּ֥ן הֶ֝עָצֵ֗ל לְשֹׁלְחָֽיו׃
27The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be shortened. 27יִרְאַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה תּוֹסִ֣יף יָמִ֑ים וּשְׁנ֖וֹת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּקְצֹֽרְנָה׃
28The hope of the righteous is joy, but the expectations of the wicked will perish. 28תּוֹחֶ֣לֶת צַדִּיקִ֣ים שִׂמְחָ֑ה וְתִקְוַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃
29The way of the LORD is a refuge to the upright, but destruction [awaits] those who do evil. 29מָע֣וֹז לַ֭תֹּם דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝מְחִתָּ֗ה לְפֹ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
30The righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not inhabit the land. 30צַדִּ֣יק לְעוֹלָ֣ם בַּל־ יִמּ֑וֹט וּ֝רְשָׁעִ֗ים לֹ֣א יִשְׁכְּנוּ־ אָֽרֶץ׃
31The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out. 31פִּֽי־ צַ֭דִּיק יָנ֣וּב חָכְמָ֑ה וּלְשׁ֥וֹן תַּ֝הְפֻּכ֗וֹת תִּכָּרֵֽת׃
32The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse. 32שִׂפְתֵ֣י צַ֭דִּיק יֵדְע֣וּן רָצ֑וֹן וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים תַּהְפֻּכֽוֹת׃
