1A wise child accepts a parent’s discipline; a mocker refuses to listen to correction.1בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם מ֣וּסַר אָ֑ב וְ֝לֵ֗ץ לֹא־ שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃
2Wise words will win you a good meal, but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.2מִפְּרִ֣י פִי־ אִ֭ישׁ יֹ֣אכַל ט֑וֹב וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ בֹּגְדִ֣ים חָמָֽס׃
3Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.3נֹצֵ֣ר פִּ֭יו שֹׁמֵ֣ר נַפְשׁ֑וֹ פֹּשֵׂ֥ק שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו מְחִתָּה־ לֽוֹ׃
4Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.4מִתְאַוָּ֣ה וָ֭אַיִן נַפְשׁ֣וֹ עָצֵ֑ל וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ חָרֻצִ֣ים תְּדֻשָּֽׁן׃
5The godly hate lies; the wicked cause shame and disgrace.5דְּבַר־ שֶׁ֭קֶר יִשְׂנָ֣א צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝רָשָׁ֗ע יַבְאִ֥ישׁ וְיַחְפִּֽיר׃
6Godliness guards the path of the blameless, but the evil are misled by sin.6צְ֭דָקָה תִּצֹּ֣ר תָּם־ דָּ֑רֶךְ וְ֝רִשְׁעָ֗ה תְּסַלֵּ֥ף חַטָּֽאת׃
7Some who are poor pretend to be rich; others who are rich pretend to be poor.7יֵ֣שׁ מִ֭תְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵ֣ין כֹּ֑ל מִ֝תְרוֹשֵׁ֗שׁ וְה֣וֹן רָֽב׃
8The rich can pay a ransom for their lives, but the poor won’t even get threatened.8כֹּ֣פֶר נֶֽפֶשׁ־ אִ֣ישׁ עָשְׁר֑וֹ וְ֝רָ֗שׁ לֹא־ שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃
9The life of the godly is full of light and joy, but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.9אוֹר־ צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִשְׂמָ֑ח וְנֵ֖ר רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִדְעָֽךְ׃
10Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.10רַק־ בְּ֭זָדוֹן יִתֵּ֣ן מַצָּ֑ה וְאֶת־ נ֖וֹעָצִ֣ים חָכְמָֽה׃
11Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.11ה֭וֹן מֵהֶ֣בֶל יִמְעָ֑ט וְקֹבֵ֖ץ עַל־ יָ֣ד יַרְבֶּֽה׃
12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.12תּוֹחֶ֣לֶת מְ֭מֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה־ לֵ֑ב וְעֵ֥ץ חַ֝יִּ֗ים תַּאֲוָ֥ה בָאָֽה׃
13People who despise advice are asking for trouble; those who respect a command will succeed.13בָּ֣ז לְ֭דָבָר יֵחָ֣בֶל ל֑וֹ וִירֵ֥א מִ֝צְוָ֗ה ה֣וּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם׃
14The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain; those who accept it avoid the snares of death.14תּוֹרַ֣ת חָ֭כָם מְק֣וֹר חַיִּ֑ים לָ֝ס֗וּר מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃
15A person with good sense is respected; a treacherous person is headed for destruction.15שֵֽׂכֶל־ ט֭וֹב יִתֶּן־ חֵ֑ן וְדֶ֖רֶךְ בֹּגְדִ֣ים אֵיתָֽן׃
16Wise people think before they act; fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness.16כָּל־ עָ֭רוּם יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה בְדָ֑עַת וּ֝כְסִ֗יל יִפְרֹ֥שׂ אִוֶּֽלֶת׃
17An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble, but a reliable messenger brings healing.17מַלְאָ֣ךְ רָ֭שָׁע יִפֹּ֣ל בְּרָ֑ע וְצִ֖יר אֱמוּנִ֣ים מַרְפֵּֽא׃
18If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept correction, you will be honored.18רֵ֣ישׁ וְ֭קָלוֹן פּוֹרֵ֣עַ מוּסָ֑ר וְשׁוֹמֵ֖ר תּוֹכַ֣חַת יְכֻבָּֽד׃
19It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.19תַּאֲוָ֣ה נִ֭הְיָה תֶּעֱרַ֣ב לְנָ֑פֶשׁ וְתוֹעֲבַ֥ת כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים ס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃
20Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.20[הלוך] (הוֹלֵ֣ךְ‪‬‪‬) אֶת־ חֲכָמִ֣ים [וחכם] (יֶחְכָּ֑ם) וְרֹעֶ֖ה כְסִילִ֣ים יֵרֽוֹעַ׃
21Trouble chases sinners, while blessings reward the righteous.21חַ֭טָּאִים תְּרַדֵּ֣ף רָעָ֑ה וְאֶת־ צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יְשַׁלֶּם־ טֽוֹב׃
22Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren, but the sinner’s wealth passes to the godly.22ט֗וֹב יַנְחִ֥יל בְּנֵֽי־ בָנִ֑ים וְצָפ֥וּן לַ֝צַּדִּ֗יק חֵ֣יל חוֹטֵֽא׃
23A poor person’s farm may produce much food, but injustice sweeps it all away.23רָב־ אֹ֭כֶל נִ֣יר רָאשִׁ֑ים וְיֵ֥שׁ נִ֝סְפֶּ֗ה בְּלֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
24Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.24חוֹשֵׂ֣ךְ שִׁ֭בְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵ֣א בְנ֑וֹ וְ֝אֹהֲב֗וֹ שִֽׁחֲר֥וֹ מוּסָֽר׃
25The godly eat to their hearts’ content, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.25צַדִּ֗יק אֹ֭כֵל לְשֹׂ֣בַע נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּבֶ֖טֶן רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֶּחְסָֽר׃ פ
