  • 1. Better `is' the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse `in' his lips, who `is' a fool.
  • 2. Also, without knowledge the soul `is' not good, And the hasty in feet is sinning.
  • 3. The folly of man perverteth his way, And against Jehovah is his heart wroth.
  • 4. Wealth addeth many friends, And the poor from his neighbour is separated.
  • 5. A false witness is not acquitted, Whoso breatheth out lies is not delivered.
  • 6. Many entreat the face of the noble, And all have made friendship to a man of gifts.
  • 7. All the brethren of the poor have hated him, Surely also his friends have been far from him, He is pursuing words -- they are not!
  • 8. Whoso is getting heart is loving his soul, He is keeping understanding to find good.
  • 9. A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth.
  • 10. Luxury is not comely for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule among princes.
  • 11. The wisdom of a man hath deferred his anger, And his glory `is' to pass over transgression.
  • 12. The wrath of a king `is' a growl as of a young lion, And as dew on the herb his good-will.
  • 13. A calamity to his father `is' a foolish son, And the contentions of a wife `are' a continual dropping.
  • 14. House and wealth `are' the inheritance of fathers, And from Jehovah `is' an understanding wife.
  • 15. Sloth causeth deep sleep to fall, And an indolent soul doth hunger.
  • 16. Whoso is keeping the command is keeping his soul, Whoso is despising His ways dieth.
  • 17. Whoso is lending `to' Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.
  • 18. Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to death lift not up thy soul.
  • 19. A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, For, if thou dost deliver, yet again thou dost add.
  • 20. Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art wise in thy latter end.
  • 21. Many `are' the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.
  • 22. The desirableness of a man `is' his kindness, And better `is' the poor than a liar.
  • 23. The fear of Jehovah `is' to life, And satisfied he remaineth -- he is not charged with evil.
  • 24. The slothful hath hidden his hand in a dish, Even unto his mouth he bringeth it not back.
  • 25. A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.
  • 26. Whoso is spoiling a father causeth a mother to flee, A son causing shame, and bringing confusion.
  • 27. Cease, my son, to hear instruction -- To err from sayings of knowledge.
  • 28. A worthless witness scorneth judgment, And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.
  • 29. Judgments have been prepared for scorners, And stripes for the back of fools!
