On Life and Conduct
1 Better H2896 is a poor H7326 person H7326 who walks H1980 in his integrity H8537
Than H4480 a person who is perverse H6141 in [fn]speech H8193 and is a fool H3684.
2 Also H1571 it is not good H2896 for a person H5315 to be without H3808 knowledge H1847,
And one who hurries H213 [fn]his footsteps H7272 [fn]errs H2398.
3 The foolishness H200 of a person H120 ruins H5557 his way H1870,
And his heart H3820 rages H2196 against H5921 the LORD H3068.
4 Wealth H1952 adds H3254 many H7227 friends H7453,
But a poor H1800 person H1800 is separated H6504 from his friend H7453.
5 A false H8267 witness H5707 will not go H5352 unpunished H5352,
And one who declares H6315 lies H3577 will not escape H4422.
6 Many H7227 will seek H2470 the favor H6440 of a [fn]generous H5081 person H5081,
And every H3605 person H3605 is a friend H7453 to him who gives gifts H4976.
7 All H3605 the brothers H251 of a poor H7326 person H7326 hate H8130 him;
How H637 much H637 H3588 more H637 do his friends H4828 abandon H7368 him!
He pursues H7291 them with words H561, but they are [fn]gone H3808.
8 One who gets H7069 [fn]wisdom H3820 loves H157 his own soul H5315;
One who keeps H8104 understanding H8394 will find H4672 good H2896.
9 A false H8267 witness H5707 will not go H5352 unpunished H5352,
And one who declares H6315 lies H3577 will perish H6.
10 Luxury H8588 is not fitting H5000 for a fool H3684;
Much H637 H3588 less H637 for a slave H5650 to rule H4910 over princes H8269.
11 A person’s H120 discretion H7922 makes H748 him slow H748 to anger H639,
And it is his glory H8597 to overlook H5674 an offense H6588.
12 A king’s H4428 wrath H2197 is like the roaring H5099 of a lion H3715,
But his favor H7522 is like dew H2919 on the grass H6212.
13 A foolish H3684 son H1121 is destruction H1942 to his father H1,
And the quarrels H4066 of a wife H802 are a constant H2956 dripping H1812.
14 House H1004 and wealth H1952 are an inheritance H5159 from fathers H1,
But a prudent H7919 wife H802 is from the LORD H3068.
15 Laziness H6103 casts H5307 one into a deep H8639 sleep H8639,
And [fn]a lazy H7423 [fn]person H5315 will suffer H7456 hunger H7456.
16 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.
17 One who is gracious H2603 to a poor H1800 person H1800 lends H3867 to the LORD H3068,
And He will repay H7999 him for his [fn]good H1576 deed H1576.
18 Discipline H3256 your son H1121 while H3588 there H3426 is H3426 hope H8615,
And do not desire H5375 H5315 [fn]his death H4191.
19 A person of great H1419 anger H2534 will suffer H5375 the penalty H6066,
For if H518 you rescue H5337 him, you will only have to do H3254 it again H3254.
20 Listen H8085 to advice H6098 and accept H6901 discipline H4148,
So that you may be H2449 wise H2449 [fn]the rest H319 of your days.
21 Many H7227 plans H4284 are in a person’s H376 heart H3820,
But the advice H6098 of the LORD H3068 will stand H6965.
22 What H8378 is H8378 desirable H8378 in a person H120 is his [fn]kindness H2617,
And it is better H2896 to be a poor H7326 person H7326 than H4480 a liar H376 H3577.
23 [fn]The fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 leads to life H2416,
So that one may sleep H3885 satisfied H7649, [fn]untouched H1077 H6485 by evil H7451.
24 The [fn]lazy H6102 one H6102 buries H2934 his hand H3027 in the dish H6747,
But will not even H1571 bring H7725 it back H7725 to his mouth H6310.
25 Strike H5221 a scoffer H3887 and the naive H6612 may become H6191 clever H6191,
But rebuke H3198 one who has H995 understanding H995, and he will [fn]gain H995 knowledge H1847.
26 He who assaults H7703 his father H1 and drives H1272 his mother H517 away H1272
Is a shameful H954 and disgraceful H2659 son H1121.
27 Stop H2308 listening H8085, my son H1121, to discipline H4148,
And you will stray H7686 from the words H561 of knowledge H1847.
28 A worthless H1100 witness H5707 makes H3887 a H3887 mockery H3887 of justice H4941,
And the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563 [fn]swallows H1104 wrongdoing H205.
29 [fn]Judgments H8201 are prepared H3559 for scoffers H3887,
