Hebrew Bible, Proverbs, 10.1-22.16


קֹרֵץ עַיִן יִתֵּן עַצָּבֶת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵט׃The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.


מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֵּן חָכָם יְשַׂמַּח־אָב וּבֵן כְּסִיל תּוּגַת אִמּוֹ׃The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.


הוֹן עָשִׁיר קִרְיַת עֻזּוֹ מְחִתַּת דַּלִּים רֵישָׁם׃The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.


פְּעֻלַּת צַדִּיק לְחַיִּים תְּבוּאַת רָשָׁע לְחַטָּאת׃The wages of the righteous is life; The increase of the wicked is sin.


לֹא־יוֹעִילוּ אוֹצְרוֹת רֶשַׁע וּצְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּוֶת׃Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.


כֶּסֶף נִבְחָר לְשׁוֹן צַדִּיק לֵב רְשָׁעִים כִּמְעָט׃Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.


זֵכֶר צַדִּיק לִבְרָכָה וְשֵׁם רְשָׁעִים יִרְקָב׃The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot.


חֲכַם־לֵב יִקַּח מִצְוֺת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵט׃The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.


הוֹלֵךְ בַּתֹּם יֵלֶךְ בֶּטַח וּמְעַקֵּשׁ דְּרָכָיו יִוָּדֵעַ׃He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be found out.


nanHe that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall.


מְקוֹר חַיִּים פִּי צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָס׃The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.


שִׂנְאָה תְּעוֹרֵר מְדָנִים וְעַל כָּל־פְּשָׁעִים תְּכַסֶּה אַהֲבָה׃Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions.


בְּשִׂפְתֵי נָבוֹן תִּמָּצֵא חָכְמָה וְשֵׁבֶט לְגֵו חֲסַר־לֵב׃In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.


חֲכָמִים יִצְפְּנוּ־דָעַת וּפִי־אֱוִיל מְחִתָּה קְרֹבָה׃Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin.


לֹא־יַרְעִיב יְהוָה נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְהַוַּת רְשָׁעִים יֶהְדֹּף׃The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.


צַדִּיק לְעוֹלָם בַּל־יִמּוֹט וּרְשָׁעִים לֹא יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָרֶץ׃The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.


רָאשׁ עֹשֶׂה כַף־רְמִיָּה וְיַד חָרוּצִים תַּעֲשִׁיר׃He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.


אֹגֵר בַּקַּיִץ בֵּן מַשְׂכִּיל נִרְדָּם בַּקָּצִיר בֵּן מֵבִישׁ׃A wise son gathereth in summer; but a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest.


בְּרָכוֹת לְרֹאשׁ צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָס׃Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.

Wherefore I praised the dead that are already dead more than the living that are yet alive;" 4.3. but better than they both is he that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun." 12.9. And besides that Koheleth was wise, he also taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs."
