International Standard VersionHebrew Study Bible
1A wise son heeds a father's correction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.1בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם מ֣וּסַר אָ֑ב וְ֝לֵ֗ץ לֹא־ שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃
2From the fruit of his words a man receives benefit, but the treacherous crave violence.2מִפְּרִ֣י פִי־ אִ֭ישׁ יֹ֣אכַל ט֑וֹב וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ בֹּגְדִ֣ים חָמָֽס׃
3Anyone who guards his words protects his life; anyone who talks too much is ruined.3נֹצֵ֣ר פִּ֭יו שֹׁמֵ֣ר נַפְשׁ֑וֹ פֹּשֵׂ֥ק שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו מְחִתָּה־ לֽוֹ׃
4The lazy person craves, yet receives nothing, but the desires of the diligent are satisfied.4מִתְאַוָּ֣ה וָ֭אַיִן נַפְשׁ֣וֹ עָצֵ֑ל וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ חָרֻצִ֣ים תְּדֻשָּֽׁן׃
5A righteous person hates deceit, but the wicked person is shameful and disgraceful.5דְּבַר־ שֶׁ֭קֶר יִשְׂנָ֣א צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝רָשָׁ֗ע יַבְאִ֥ישׁ וְיַחְפִּֽיר׃
6Righteousness protects the blameless, but wickedness brings down the sinner.6צְ֭דָקָה תִּצֹּ֣ר תָּם־ דָּ֑רֶךְ וְ֝רִשְׁעָ֗ה תְּסַלֵּ֥ף חַטָּֽאת׃
7One person pretends to be wealthy, but has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet is rich.7יֵ֣שׁ מִ֭תְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵ֣ין כֹּ֑ל מִ֝תְרוֹשֵׁ֗שׁ וְה֣וֹן רָֽב׃
8The life of a wealthy man may be held for ransom, but whoever is poor receives no threats.8כֹּ֣פֶר נֶֽפֶשׁ־ אִ֣ישׁ עָשְׁר֑וֹ וְ֝רָ֗שׁ לֹא־ שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃
9The light of the righteous shines, but the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.9אוֹר־ צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִשְׂמָ֑ח וְנֵ֖ר רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִדְעָֽךְ׃
10Arrogance only brings quarreling, but those receiving advice are wise.10רַק־ בְּ֭זָדוֹן יִתֵּ֣ן מַצָּ֑ה וְאֶת־ נ֖וֹעָצִ֣ים חָכְמָֽה׃
11Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but whoever works diligently increases his prosperity. 11ה֭וֹן מֵהֶ֣בֶל יִמְעָ֑ט וְקֹבֵ֖ץ עַל־ יָ֣ד יַרְבֶּֽה׃
12Delayed hope makes the heart ill, but fulfilled longing is a tree of life.12תּוֹחֶ֣לֶת מְ֭מֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה־ לֵ֑ב וְעֵ֥ץ חַ֝יִּ֗ים תַּאֲוָ֥ה בָאָֽה׃
13Anyone who despises a word of advice will pay for it, but whoever heeds a command will be rewarded.13בָּ֣ז לְ֭דָבָר יֵחָ֣בֶל ל֑וֹ וִירֵ֥א מִ֝צְוָ֗ה ה֣וּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם׃
14What the wise have to teach is a fountain of life and causes someone to avoid the snares of death.14תּוֹרַ֣ת חָ֭כָם מְק֣וֹר חַיִּ֑ים לָ֝ס֗וּר מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃
15Good understanding produces grace, but the lifestyle of the treacherous never changes. 15שֵֽׂכֶל־ ט֭וֹב יִתֶּן־ חֵ֑ן וְדֶ֖רֶךְ בֹּגְדִ֣ים אֵיתָֽן׃
16Every sensible person acts from knowledge, but a fool demonstrates folly.16כָּל־ עָ֭רוּם יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה בְדָ֑עַת וּ֝כְסִ֗יל יִפְרֹ֥שׂ אִוֶּֽלֶת׃
17An evil messenger stumbles into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing.17מַלְאָ֣ךְ רָ֭שָׁע יִפֹּ֣ל בְּרָ֑ע וְצִ֖יר אֱמוּנִ֣ים מַרְפֵּֽא׃
18Poverty and shame are for those who ignore correction, but whoever listens to instruction gains honor.18רֵ֣ישׁ וְ֭קָלוֹן פּוֹרֵ֣עַ מוּסָ֑ר וְשׁוֹמֵ֖ר תּוֹכַ֣חַת יְכֻבָּֽד׃
19Fulfilled longing is sweet to the soul, but avoiding evil is detestable to the fool.19תַּאֲוָ֣ה נִ֭הְיָה תֶּעֱרַ֣ב לְנָ֑פֶשׁ וְתוֹעֲבַ֥ת כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים ס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃
20Whoever keeps company with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm.20[הלוך] (הוֹלֵ֣ךְ‪‬‪‬) אֶת־ חֲכָמִ֣ים [וחכם] (יֶחְכָּ֑ם) וְרֹעֶ֖ה כְסִילִ֣ים יֵרֽוֹעַ׃
21Disaster pursues the sinful, but good will reward the righteous.21חַ֭טָּאִים תְּרַדֵּ֣ף רָעָ֑ה וְאֶת־ צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יְשַׁלֶּם־ טֽוֹב׃
22A good person leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren, but the wealth of the wicked is reserved for the righteous.22ט֗וֹב יַנְחִ֥יל בְּנֵֽי־ בָנִ֑ים וְצָפ֥וּן לַ֝צַּדִּ֗יק חֵ֣יל חוֹטֵֽא׃
23The field of the poor may produce much food, but it can be swept away through injustice.23רָב־ אֹ֭כֶל נִ֣יר רָאשִׁ֑ים וְיֵ֥שׁ נִ֝סְפֶּ֗ה בְּלֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
24Whoever does not discipline his son hates him, but whoever loves him is diligent to correct him.24חוֹשֵׂ֣ךְ שִׁ֭בְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵ֣א בְנ֑וֹ וְ֝אֹהֲב֗וֹ שִֽׁחֲר֥וֹ מוּסָֽר׃
25A righteous person eats to his heart's content, but the stomach of the wicked remains hungry.25צַדִּ֗יק אֹ֭כֵל לְשֹׂ֣בַע נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּבֶ֖טֶן רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֶּחְסָֽר׃ פ
