Modern Hebrew Bible
1A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved.
1בן חכם מוסר אב ולץ לא שמע גערה׃
2Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked.
2מפרי פי איש יאכל טוב ונפש בגדים חמס׃
3He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul: but he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils.
3נצר פיו שמר נפשו פשק שפתיו מחתה לו׃
4The sluggard willeth and willeth not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat.
4מתאוה ואין נפשו עצל ונפש חרצים תדשן׃
5The just shall hate a lying word: but the wicked confoundeth, and shall be confounded.
5דבר שקר ישנא צדיק ורשע יבאיש ויחפיר׃
6Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
6צדקה תצר תם דרך ורשעה תסלף חטאת׃
7One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.
7יש מתעשר ואין כל מתרושש והון רב׃
8The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but he that is poor beareth not reprehension.
8כפר נפש איש עשרו ורש לא שמע גערה׃
9The light of the just giveth joy: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
9אור צדיקים ישמח ונר רשעים ידעך׃
10Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.
10רק בזדון יתן מצה ואת נועצים חכמה׃
11Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.
11הון מהבל ימעט וקבץ על יד ירבה׃
12Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life.
12תוחלת ממשכה מחלה לב ועץ חיים תאוה באה׃
13Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.
13בז לדבר יחבל לו וירא מצוה הוא ישלם׃
14The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.
14תורת חכם מקור חיים לסור ממקשי מות׃
15Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit.
15שכל טוב יתן חן ודרך בגדים איתן׃
16The prudent mall doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly.
16כל ערום יעשה בדעת וכסיל יפרש אולת׃
17The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
17מלאך רשע יפל ברע וציר אמונים מרפא׃
18Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof, shall be glorified.
18ריש וקלון פורע מוסר ושומר תוכחת יכבד׃
19The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things.
19תאוה נהיה תערב לנפש ותועבת כסילים סור מרע׃
20He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall become like to them.
20הלוך את חכמים וחכם ורעה כסילים ירוע׃
21Evil pursueth sinners: and to the just good shall be repaid.
21חטאים תרדף רעה ואת צדיקים ישלם טוב׃
22The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and grandsons: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just.
22טוב ינחיל בני בנים וצפון לצדיק חיל חוטא׃
23Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered with out judgment.
23רב אכל ניר ראשים ויש נספה בלא משפט׃
24He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes.
24חושך שבטו שונא בנו ואהבו שחרו מוסר׃
25The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled.
25צדיק אכל לשבע נפשו ובטן רשעים תחסר׃
