To understand ^H995 a proverb ^H4912 and an enigma ^H4426,

The words ^H1697 of the wise ^H2450 and their riddles ^H2420.

“Turn ^H7725 to my reproof ^H8433,

Behold ^H2009, I will pour ^H5042 out my spirit ^H7307 on you;

I will make ^H3045 my words ^H1697 known ^H3045 to you.

Then he instructed ^H3384 me and said ^H559 to me,

“Let your heart ^H3820 hold ^H8551 fast ^H8551 my words ^H1697;

Keep ^H8104 my commandments ^H4687 and live ^H2421;

My son ^H1121, pay ^H7181 attention ^H7181 to my words ^H1697;

Incline ^H5186 your ear ^H241 to my sayings ^H561.

When there are many ^H7230 words ^H1697, transgression ^H6588 is unavoidable ^H2308 H3808,

But he who holds ^H2820 back ^H2820 his lips ^H8193 has insight ^H7919.

He who goes ^H1980 about ^H1980 as a slanderer ^H7400 reveals ^H1540 secrets ^H5475,

But he who is faithful ^H539 in spirit ^H7307 conceals ^H3680 a matter ^H1697.

The words ^H1697 of the wicked ^H7563 lie ^H693 in ^H693 wait ^H693 for blood ^H1818,

But the mouth ^H6310 of the upright ^H3477 will deliver ^H5337 them.

Anxiety ^H1674 in a man’s ^H376 heart ^H3820 weighs ^H7812 it down ^H7812,

But a good ^H2896 word ^H1697 makes ^H8055 it glad ^H8055.

A righteous ^H6662 man ^H6662 hates ^H8130 a lying ^H8267 word ^H1697,

But a wicked ^H7563 man ^H7563 [fn]acts ^H887 odiously ^H887 and is humiliated ^H2659.

The one who despises ^H936 the word ^H1697 will be [fn]in debt ^H2254 to it,

But the one who fears ^H3372 the commandment ^H4687 will be rewarded ^H7999.

The simple ^H6612 believes ^H539 everything ^H3605,

But the prudent ^H6175 one ^H6175 discerns ^H995 his steps ^H838.

In all ^H3605 painful ^H6089 labor ^H6089 there is profit ^H4195,

But mere words ^H1697 from the lips ^H8193 lead only ^H389 to want ^H4270.

A gentle ^H7390 answer ^H4617 turns ^H7725 away ^H7725 wrath ^H2534,

But a [fn]harsh ^H6089 word ^H1697 stirs ^H5927 up ^H5927 anger ^H639.

A man ^H376 has gladness ^H8057 in an [fn]apt ^H6310 answer ^H4617,

And how ^H4100 good ^H2896 is a timely ^H6256 word ^H1697!

He who considers ^H7919 the word ^H1697 will find ^H4672 good ^H2896,

And how blessed ^H835 is he who trusts ^H982 in Yahweh ^H3068.

He who covers ^H3680 a transgression ^H6588 seeks ^H1245 love ^H160,

But he who repeats ^H8138 a matter ^H1697 separates ^H6504 close ^H441 companions ^H441.

The words ^H1697 of a man’s ^H376 mouth ^H6310 are deep ^H6013 waters ^H4325;

[fn]The fountain ^H4726 of wisdom ^H2451 is a flowing ^H5042 brook ^H5158.

The words ^H1697 of a whisperer ^H7279 are like dainty ^H3859 morsels ^H3859,

And they go ^H3381 down ^H3381 into the [fn]innermost ^H2315 parts ^H2315 of the stomach ^H990.

He who responds ^H7725 with ^H7725 a word ^H1697 before ^H2962 he hears ^H8085,

It is folly ^H200 and shame ^H3639 to him.

The eyes ^H5869 of Yahweh ^H3068 guard ^H5341 knowledge ^H1847,

But He subverts ^H5557 the words ^H1697 of the treacherous ^H898 one.

Incline ^H5186 your ear ^H241 and hear ^H8085 the words ^H1697 of the wise ^H2450,

And set ^H7896 your heart ^H3820 on my knowledge ^H1847;

You will vomit ^H6958 up ^H6958 [fn]the morsel ^H6595 you have eaten ^H398,

And you will corrupt ^H7843 your pleasant ^H5273 words ^H1697.

He kisses ^H5401 the lips ^H8193

Who responds ^H7725 with right ^H5228 words ^H1697.

It is the glory ^H3519 of God ^H430 to conceal ^H5641 a matter ^H1697,

But the glory ^H3519 of kings ^H4428 is to search ^H2713 out ^H2713 a matter ^H1697.

Like apples ^H8598 of gold ^H2091 in settings ^H4906 of silver ^H3701

Is a word ^H1697 spoken ^H1696 in [fn]right circumstances ^H655.

He cuts ^H7096 off ^H7096 his own feet ^H7272 and drinks ^H8354 violence ^H2555

Who sends ^H7971 words ^H1697 by the hand ^H3027 of a fool ^H3684.

The words ^H1697 of a whisperer ^H7279 are like dainty ^H3859 morsels ^H3859,

And they go ^H3381 down ^H3381 into the innermost ^H2315 parts ^H2315 of the stomach ^H990.

Be ^H2449 wise ^H2449, my son ^H1121, and make ^H8055 my heart ^H3820 glad ^H8055,

That I may respond ^H7725 with a word ^H1697 to him who reproaches ^H2778 me.

If a ruler ^H4910 pays ^H7181 attention ^H7181 to a lying ^H8267 word ^H1697,

All ^H3605 his ministers ^H8334 become wicked ^H7563.

A slave ^H5650 will not be corrected ^H3256 by words ^H1697 alone;

For though he understands ^H995, there ^H369 will ^H369 be ^H369 no ^H369 answer ^H4617.

Lest ^H6435 He reprove ^H3198 you, and you be proved ^H3576 a ^H3576 liar ^H3576.

Keep ^H7368 worthlessness ^H7723 and every false word ^H3577 far ^H7368 from me,

Give ^H5414 me neither ^H408 poverty ^H7389 nor ^H408 riches ^H6239;

Feed ^H2963 me with the food ^H3899 that is my portion ^H2706,
