Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
1 The wise H2450 woman H802 builds H1129 her house H1004,
But the foolish H200 tears H2040 it down H2040 with her own hands H3027.
2 One who walks H1980 in his uprightness H3476 fears H3372 the LORD H3068,
But one who is devious H3868 in his ways H1870 despises H959 Him.
3 In the mouth H6310 of the foolish H191 is a rod H2415 for his back H1460,
But the lips H8193 of the wise H2450 will protect H8104 them.
4 Where there are no H369 oxen H504, the manger H18 is clean H1249;
But much H7230 revenue H8393 comes by the strength H3581 of the ox H7794.
5 A trustworthy H529 witness H5707 will not lie H3576,
But a false H8267 witness H5707 declares H6315 lies H3577.
6 A scoffer H3887 seeks H1245 wisdom H2451 and finds none H369,
But knowledge H1847 is H7043 easy H7043 for one who has H995 understanding H995.
7 Leave H1980 the presence H5048 of a fool H3684,
Or you will not [fn]discern H3045 [fn]words H8193 of knowledge H1847.
8 The wisdom H2451 of the sensible H6175 is to understand H995 his way H1870,
But the foolishness H200 of fools H3684 is deceit H4820.
9 Fools H191 mock H3887 at [fn]sin H817,
But among H996 the upright H3477 there is [fn]goodwill H7522.
10 The heart H3820 knows H3045 its own H5315 bitterness H4787,
And a stranger H2114 does not share H6148 its joy H8057.
11 The house H1004 of the wicked H7563 will be destroyed H8045,
But the tent H168 of the upright H3477 will flourish H6524.
12 There H3426 is H3426 a way H1870 which seems right H3477 to a person H376,
But its end H319 is the way H1870 of death H4194.
13 Even H1571 in laughter H7814 the heart H3820 may be H3510 in H3510 pain H3510,
And the end H319 of joy H8057 may be grief H8424.
14 One with a wayward H5472 heart H3820 will have H7646 his fill H7646 of his own ways H1870,
But a good H2896 person H376 will be satisfied [fn]with his.
15 The naive H6612 believes H539 everything H3605,
But the sensible H6175 person H6175 considers H995 his steps H838.
16 A wise H2450 person H2450 [fn]is cautious H3372 and turns H5493 away H5493 from evil H7451,
But a fool H3684 is H5674 arrogant H5674 and careless H982.
17 A quick-tempered H7116 H639 person acts H6213 foolishly H200,
And a person H376 of evil H4209 devices H4209 is hated H8130.
18 The naive H6612 inherit H5157 foolishness H200,
But the sensible H6175 are crowned H3803 with knowledge H1847.
19 The evil H7451 will bow H7817 down H7817 before H6440 the good H2896,
And the wicked H7563 at the gates H8179 of the righteous H6662.
20 The poor H7326 is hated H8130 even H1571 by his neighbor H7453,
But those who love H157 the rich H6223 are many H7227.
21 One who despises H936 his neighbor H7453 sins H2398,
But one who is gracious H2603 to the [fn]poor H6035 is blessed H835.
22 Will they who devise H2790 evil H7451 not go H8582 astray H8582?
But kindness H2617 and truth H571 will be to those who devise H2790 good H2896.
23 In all H3605 labor H6089 there is profit H4195,
But [fn]mere H8193 talk H1697 leads only H389 to poverty H4270.
24 The crown H5850 of the wise H2450 is their riches H6239,
But the foolishness H200 of fools H3684 is simply foolishness H200.
25 A truthful H571 witness H5707 saves H5337 lives H5315,
But one who declares H6315 lies H3577 is [fn]deceitful H4820.
26 In [fn]the fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 there is strong H5797 confidence H4009,
And [fn]his children H1121 will have H1961 refuge H4268.
27 [fn]The fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 is a fountain H4726 of life H2416,
By which one may avoid H5493 the snares H4170 of death H4194.
28 In a multitude H7230 of people H5971 is a king’s H4428 glory H1927,
But in the scarcity H657 of people H3816 is a prince’s H7333 ruin H4288.
29 One who is slow H750 to anger H639 has great H7227 understanding H8394;
But one who is [fn]quick-tempered H7116 H7307 exalts H7311 foolishness H200.
30 A tranquil H4832 heart H3820 is life H2416 to the body H1320,
But jealousy H7068 is rottenness H7538 to the bones H6106.
31 One who oppresses H6231 the poor H1800 taunts H2778 his Maker H6213,
But one who is gracious H2603 to the needy H34 honors H3513 Him.
32 The wicked H7563 is thrust H1760 down H1760 by his own wrongdoing H7451,
But the righteous H6662 has H2620 a H2620 refuge H2620 when he dies H4194.
33 Wisdom H2451 rests H5117 in the heart H3820 of one who has H995 understanding H995,
But among H7130 fools H3684 it is made H3045 known H3045.
34 Righteousness H6666 exalts H7311 a nation H1471,
But sin H2403 is a disgrace H2617 to any people H3816.
35 The king’s H4428 favor H7522 is toward a servant H5650 who acts H7919 wisely H7919,
But his anger H5678 is toward him who acts H954 shamefully H954.
