19 Fret not thyself at evil doers, Be not envious at the wicked, 20 For there is not a posterity to the evil, The lamp of the wicked is extinguished. 21 Fear Jehovah, my son, and the king, With changers mix not up thyself, 22 For suddenly doth their calamity rise, And the ruin of them both—who knoweth! 23 These also are for the wise:—To discern faces in judgment is not good. 24 Whoso is saying to the wicked, ‘Thou [art] righteous,’ Peoples execrate him—nations abhor him. 25 And to those reproving it is pleasant, And on them cometh a good blessing. 26 Lips he kisseth who is returning straightforward words. 27 Prepare in an out-place thy work, And make it ready in the field—go afterwards, Then thou hast built thy house. 28 Be not a witness for nought against thy neighbour, Or thou hast enticed with thy lips. 29 Say not, ‘As he did to me, so I do to him, I render to each according to his work.’ 30 Near the field of a slothful man I passed by, And near the vineyard of a man lacking heart. 31 And lo, it hath gone up—all of it—thorns! Covered its face have nettles, And its stone wall hath been broken down. 32 And I see—I—I do set my heart, I have seen—I have received instruction, 33 A little sleep—a little slumber—A little folding of the hands to lie down. 34 And thy poverty hath come [as] a traveller, And thy want as an armed man! |
