Such ^H3651 are the ways ^H734 of everyone ^H3605 who makes ^H1214 unjust ^H1215 gain ^H1215;

For the price ^H1157 of a prostitute ^H802 H2181 reduces one to a loaf ^H3603 of bread ^H3899,

To satisfy ^H4390 [fn]himself ^H5315 when ^H3588 he is hungry ^H7456;

One who commits ^H5003 adultery ^H5003 with a woman ^H802 is lacking ^H2638 [fn]sense ^H3820;

He who would destroy ^H7843 [fn]himself ^H5315 commits ^H6213 it.

And one who gives ^H7301 others plenty ^H7301 of ^H7301 water ^H7301 will himself ^H1931 be given ^H3372 plenty ^H3372.

The fruit ^H6529 of the righteous ^H6662 is a tree ^H6086 of life ^H2416,

One who opens ^H6589 wide ^H6589 his lips ^H8193 [fn]comes to ruin ^H4288.

The soul ^H5315 of the [fn]lazy ^H6102 one ^H6102 craves ^H183 and gets nothing ^H369,

But the soul ^H5315 of the diligent ^H2742 is made ^H1878 [fn]prosperous ^H1878.

The ransom ^H3724 of a person’s ^H376 life ^H5315 is his wealth ^H6239,

But the poor ^H7326 hears ^H8085 no ^H3808 rebuke ^H1606.

Desire ^H8378 realized ^H1961 is sweet ^H6149 to the soul ^H5315,

A truthful ^H571 witness ^H5707 saves ^H5337 lives ^H5315,

Pleasant ^H5278 words ^H561 are a honeycomb ^H1706 H6688,

A worker’s ^H6001 appetite ^H5315 works ^H5998 for him,

For his [fn]hunger ^H6310 urges ^H404 him on.

One who gets ^H7069 [fn]wisdom ^H3820 loves ^H157 his own soul ^H5315;

One who keeps ^H8104 understanding ^H8394 will find ^H4672 good ^H2896.

Laziness ^H6103 casts ^H5307 one into a deep ^H8639 sleep ^H8639,

And [fn]a lazy ^H7423 [fn]person ^H5315 will suffer ^H7456 hunger ^H7456.

One who keeps ^H8104 the commandment ^H4687 keeps ^H8104 his soul ^H5315,

But one who [fn]is ^H959 careless ^H959 of [fn]conduct ^H1870 will die ^H4191.

Discipline ^H3256 your son ^H1121 while ^H3588 there ^H3426 is ^H3426 hope ^H8615,

And do not desire ^H5375 H5315 [fn]his death ^H4191.

One who guards ^H8104 his mouth ^H6310 and his tongue ^H3956,

Guards ^H8104 his soul ^H5315 from troubles ^H6869.

For the LORD ^H3068 will plead ^H7378 their case ^H7379

And [fn]take ^H6906 the life ^H5315 of those who rob ^H6906 them.

Or ^H6435 you will learn ^H502 his ways ^H734

And [fn]find ^H3947 a snare ^H4170 for yourself ^H5315.

For as he [fn]thinks ^H8176 within himself ^H5315, so ^H3651 he is.

He says ^H559 to you, “Eat ^H398 and drink ^H8354!”

But his heart ^H3820 is not with you.

You shall strike ^H5221 him with the rod ^H7626

And rescue ^H5337 his soul ^H5315 from Sheol ^H7585.

Know ^H3045 that wisdom ^H2451 is the same ^H3651 for your soul ^H5315;

If ^H518 you find ^H4672 it, then there ^H3426 will be ^H3426 a [fn]future ^H319,

And your hope ^H8615 will not be cut ^H3772 off ^H3772.

Like cold ^H7119 water ^H4325 to a weary ^H5889 soul ^H5315,

So is good ^H2896 news ^H8052 from a distant ^H4801 land ^H776.

Oil ^H8081 and perfume ^H7004 make ^H8055 the heart ^H3820 glad ^H8055,

And a [fn]person’s ^H5315 advice ^H6098 is sweet ^H4986 to his friend ^H7453.

An [fn]arrogant ^H7342 person ^H5315 stirs ^H1624 up ^H1624 strife ^H4066,

But one who trusts ^H982 in the LORD ^H3068 will [fn]prosper ^H1878.
