Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
1 One who separates H6504 himself seeks H1245 his own desire H8378;
He [fn]quarrels H1566 against all H3605 sound H8454 wisdom H8454.
2 A fool H3684 does not delight H2654 in understanding H8394,
But in revealing H1540 his own [fn]mind H3820.
3 When a wicked H7563 person H7563 comes H935, contempt H937 also H1571 comes H935,
And with dishonor H7036 comes taunting H2781.
4 The words H1697 of a person’s H376 mouth H6310 are deep H6013 waters H4325;
[fn]The fountain H4726 of wisdom H2451 is a bubbling H5042 brook H5158.
5 To show H5375 partiality H5375 H6440 to the wicked H7563 is not good H2896,
Nor to suppress H5186 the righteous H6662 in judgment H4941.
6 A fool’s H3684 lips H8193 [fn]bring H935 strife H7379,
And his mouth H6310 invites H7121 beatings H4112.
7 A fool’s H3684 mouth H6310 is his ruin H4288,
And his lips H8193 are the snare H4170 of his soul H5315.
8 The words H1697 of a gossiper H7279 are like dainty H3859 morsels H3859,
And they go H3381 down H3381 into the [fn]innermost H2315 parts H2315 of the body H990.
9 He also H1571 who is lax H7503 in his work H4399
Is a brother H251 to him who destroys H7843.
10 The name H8034 of the LORD H3068 is a strong H5797 tower H4026;
The righteous H6662 runs H7323 into it and is H7682 [fn]safe H7682.
11 A rich H6223 person’s H6223 wealth H1952 is his strong H5797 city H7151,
And like a high H7682 wall H2346 in his own imagination H4906.
12 Before H6440 destruction H7667 the heart H3820 of a person H376 is H1361 haughty H1361,
But humility H6038 goes before H6440 honor H3519.
13 One who gives H7725 an answer H1697 before H2962 he hears H8085,
It is foolishness H200 and shame H3639 to him.
14 The spirit H7307 of a person H376 can endure H3557 his sickness H4245,
But as for a broken H5218 spirit H7307, who H4310 can endure H5375 it?
15 The [fn]mind H3820 of the discerning H995 acquires H7069 knowledge H1847,
And the ear H241 of the wise H2450 seeks H1245 knowledge H1847.
16 A person’s H120 gift H4976 makes H7337 room H7337 for him
And brings H5148 him before H6440 great H1419 people H1419.
17 The first H7223 [fn]to plead H7379 his case H7379 seems right H6662,
Until [fn]another H7453 comes H935 and examines H2713 him.
18 The cast lot H1486 puts H7673 an H7673 end H7673 to H7673 quarrels H4066,
And [fn]decides H6504 between H996 the mighty H6099 ones.
19 A brother H251 who is offended H6586 is harder to be won than H4480 a strong H5797 city H7151,
And quarrels H4066 are like the bars H1280 of a citadel H759.
20 With the [fn]fruit H6529 of a person’s H376 mouth H6310 his stomach H990 will be H7646 satisfied H7646;
He will be H7646 satisfied H7646 with the product H8393 of his lips H8193.
21 Death H4194 and life H2416 are in the [fn]power H3027 of the tongue H3956,
And those who love H157 it will eat H398 its fruit H6529.
22 He who finds H4672 a wife H802 finds H4672 a good H2896 thing H2896
And obtains H6329 favor H7522 from the LORD H3068.
23 A poor H7326 person H7326 utters H1696 pleadings H8469,
But a rich H6223 person H6223 answers H6030 defiantly H5794.
24 A person H376 of too many friends H7453 comes to [fn]ruin H7489,
But there H3426 is H3426 a friend H157 who H1695 sticks H1695 closer than H4480 a brother H251.
