  • 1. A wise son -- the instruction of a father, And a scorner -- he hath not heard rebuke.
  • 2. From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul of the treacherous -- violence.
  • 3. Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips -- ruin to him!
  • 4. The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.
  • 5. A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth abhorrence, and is confounded.
  • 6. Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.
  • 7. There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth `is' abundant.
  • 8. The ransom of a man's life `are' his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.
  • 9. The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
  • 10. A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled `is' wisdom.
  • 11. Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.
  • 12. Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life `is' the coming desire.
  • 13. Whoso is despising the Word is destroyed for it, And whoso is fearing the Command is repayed.
  • 14. The law of the wise `is' a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.
  • 15. Good understanding giveth grace, And the way of the treacherous `is' hard.
  • 16. Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool spreadeth out folly.
  • 17. A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing.
  • 18. Whoso is refusing instruction -- poverty and shame, And whoso is observing reproof is honoured.
  • 19. A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, And an abomination to fools `is': Turn from evil.
  • 20. Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.
  • 21. Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the righteous.
  • 22. A good man causeth sons' sons to inherit, And laid up for the righteous `is' the sinner's wealth.
  • 23. Abundance of food -- the tillage of the poor, And substance is consumed without judgment.
  • 24. Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is loving him hath hastened him chastisement.
  • 25. The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And the belly of the wicked lacketh!
