Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
1 A wise H2450 son H1121 accepts his father’s H1 discipline H4148,
But a scoffer H3887 does not listen H8085 to rebuke H1606.
2 From the fruit H6529 of a person’s H376 mouth H6310 he [fn]enjoys H398 good H2896,
But the [fn]desire H5315 of the treacherous H898 is violence H2555.
3 One who guards H5341 his mouth H6310 protects H8104 his life H5315;
One who opens H6589 wide H6589 his lips H8193 [fn]comes to ruin H4288.
4 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.
5 A righteous H6662 person H6662 hates H8130 a false H8267 statement H1697,
But a wicked H7563 person H7563 [fn]acts H887 disgustingly H887 and shamefully H2659.
6 Righteousness H6666 guards H5341 the [fn]one whose way H1870 is blameless H8537,
But wickedness H7564 brings H5557 the [fn]sinner H2403 to H5557 ruin H5557.
7 There H3426 is H3426 one who pretends H6238 to H6238 be H6238 rich H6238 but has H369 nothing H369 H3605;
Another pretends H7326 to H7326 be H7326 poor H7326, but has great H7227 wealth H1952.
8 The ransom H3724 of a person’s H376 life H5315 is his wealth H6239,
But the poor H7326 hears H8085 no H3808 rebuke H1606.
9 The light H216 of the righteous H6662 [fn]rejoices H8055,
But the lamp H5216 of the wicked H7563 goes H1846 out H1846.
10 Through overconfidence H2087 [fn]comes H5414 nothing H7534 but H7534 strife H4683,
But wisdom H2451 is with those who receive H3289 counsel H3289.
11 Wealth H1952 obtained from [fn]nothing H1892 dwindles H4591,
But one who gathers H6908 [fn]by labor H3027 increases H7235 it.
12 Hope H8431 deferred H4900 makes H2470 the heart H3820 sick H2470,
But desire H8378 [fn]fulfilled H935 is a tree H6086 of life H2416.
13 One who despises H936 the word H1697 will do H2254 badly H2254,
But one who fears H3372 the commandment H4687 will be rewarded H7999.
14 The [fn]teaching H8451 of the wise H2450 is a fountain H4726 of life H2416,
To turn H5493 aside H5493 from the snares H4170 of death H4194.
15 Good H2896 understanding H7922 produces H5414 favor H2580,
But the way H1870 of the treacherous H898 is [fn]their own disaster H343.
16 Every H3605 prudent H6175 person H6175 acts H6213 with knowledge H1847,
But a fool H3684 [fn]displays H6566 foolishness H200.
17 A wicked H7563 messenger H4397 falls H5307 into adversity H7451,
But a faithful H529 messenger H6735 brings healing H4832.
18 Poverty H7389 and shame H7036 will come to one who neglects H6544 [fn]discipline H4148,
But one who complies H8104 with H8104 rebuke H8433 will be honored H3513.
19 Desire H8378 realized H1961 is sweet H6149 to the soul H5315,
But it is an abomination H8441 to fools H3684 to turn H5493 away H5493 from evil H7451.
20 One who walks H1980 with wise H2450 people H2450 will be H2449 wise H2449,
But a companion H7462 of fools H3684 will suffer H7489 harm H7489.
21 Adversity H7451 pursues H7291 sinners H2400,
But the righteous H6662 will be rewarded H7999 with prosperity H2896.
22 A good H2896 person H2896 leaves H5157 an H5157 inheritance H5157 to his [fn]grandchildren H1121,
And the wealth H2428 of a sinner H2398 is stored H6845 up for the righteous H6662.
23 Abundant H7230 food H400 is in the uncultivated H5215 ground H5215 of the poor H7326,
But [fn]it is swept H5595 away H5595 by injustice H3808 H4941.
24 He who withholds H2820 his [fn]rod H7626 hates H8130 his son H1121,
But he who loves H157 him [fn]disciplines H4148 him diligently H7836.
25 The righteous H6662 [fn]has H398 enough H398 to satisfy H7648 his appetite H5315,
But the stomach H990 of the wicked H7563 is H2637 in H2637 need H2637.
