Proverbs 28

DOUAI-RHEIMS	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 The wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be without dread.	1 נָסוּ וְאֵין־רֹדֵף רָשָׁע וְצַדִּיקִים כִּכְפִיר יִבְטָח
2 For the sine of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.	2 בְּפֶשַׁע אֶרֶץ רַבִּים שָׂרֶיהָ וּבְאָדָם מֵבִין יֹדֵעַ כֵּן יַאֲרִיךְ
3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.	3 גֶּבֶר רָשׁ וְעֹשֵׁק דַּלִּים מָטָר סֹחֵף וְאֵין לָחֶם
4 They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him.	4 עֹזְבֵי תֹורָה יְהַלְלוּ רָשָׁע וְשֹׁמְרֵי תֹורָה יִתְגָּרוּ בָם׃ פ
5 Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek after the Lord, take notice of all things.	5 אַנְשֵׁי־רָע לֹא־יָבִינוּ מִשְׁפָּט וּמְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה יָבִינוּ כֹל
6 Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity, than the rich in crooked ways.	6 טֹוב־רָשׁ הֹולֵךְ בְּתֻמֹּו מֵעִקֵּשׁ דְּרָכַיִם וְהוּא עָשִׁיר
7 He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.	7 נֹוצֵר תֹּורָה בֵּן מֵבִין וְרֹעֶה זֹולְלִים יַכְלִים אָבִיו
8 He that heapeth together riches by usury and loan, gathereth them for him that will be bountiful to the poor.	8 מַרְבֶּה הֹונֹו בְּנֶשֶׁךְ [וּבְתַרְבִּית כ] (וְתַרְבִּית ק) לְחֹונֵן דַּלִּים יִקְבְּצֶנּוּ
9 He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be as abomination.	9 מֵסִיר אָזְנֹו מִשְּׁמֹעַ תֹּורָה גַּם־תְּפִלָּתֹו תֹּועֵבָה
10 He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods.	10 מַשְׁגֶּה יְשָׁרִים ׀ בְּדֶרֶךְ רָע בִּשְׁחוּתֹו הוּא־יִפֹּול וּתְמִימִים יִנְחֲלוּ־טֹוב
11 The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor man that is prudent shall search him out.	11 חָכָם בְּעֵינָיו אִישׁ עָשִׁיר וְדַל מֵבִין יַחְקְרֶנּוּ
12 In the joy of the just there is great glory: when the wicked reign, men are ruined.	12 בַּעֲלֹץ צַדִּיקִים רַבָּה תִפְאָרֶת וּבְקוּם רְשָׁעִים יְחֻפַּשׂ אָדָם
13 He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.	13 מְכַסֶּה פְשָׁעָיו לֹא יַצְלִיחַ וּמֹודֶה וְעֹזֵב יְרֻחָם
14 Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.	14 אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מְפַחֵד תָּמִיד וּמַקְשֶׁה לִבֹּו יִפֹּול בְּרָעָה
15 As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.	15 אֲרִי־נֹהֵם וְדֹב שֹׁוקֵק מֹשֵׁל רָשָׁע עַל עַם־דָּל
16 A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.	16 נָגִיד חֲסַר תְּבוּנֹות וְרַב מַעֲשַׁקֹּות [שֹׂנְאֵי כ] (שֹׂנֵא ק) בֶצַע יַאֲרִיךְ יָמִים׃ פ
17 A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.	17 אָדָם עָשֻׁק בְּדַם־נָפֶשׁ עַד־בֹּור יָנוּס אַל־יִתְמְכוּ־בֹו
18 He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.	18 הֹולֵךְ תָּמִים יִוָּשֵׁעַ וְנֶעְקַשׁ דְּרָכַיִם יִפֹּול בְּאֶחָת
19 He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.	19 עֹבֵד אַדְמָתֹו יִשְׂבַּע־לָחֶם וּמְרַדֵּף רֵקִים יִשְׂבַּע־רִישׁ
20 A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.	20 אִישׁ אֱמוּנֹות רַב־בְּרָכֹות וְאָץ לְהַעֲשִׁיר לֹא יִנָּקֶה
21 He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.	21 הַכֵּר־פָּנִים לֹא־טֹוב וְעַל־פַּת־לֶחֶם יִפְשַׁע־גָּבֶר
22 A man, that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him.	22 נִבֳהָל לַהֹון אִישׁ רַע עָיִן וְלֹא־יֵדַע כִּי־חֶסֶר יְבֹאֶנּוּ
23 He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.	23 מֹוכִיחַ אָדָם אַחֲרַי חֵן יִמְצָא מִמַּחֲלִיק לָשֹׁון
24 He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.	24 גֹּוזֵל ׀ אָבִיו וְאִמֹּו וְאֹמֵר אֵין־פָּשַׁע חָבֵר הוּא לְאִישׁ מַשְׁחִית
25 He that boasteth, and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed.	25 רְחַב־נֶפֶשׁ יְגָרֶה מָדֹון וּבֹוטֵחַ עַל־יְהוָה יְדֻשָּׁן
26 He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.	26 בֹּוטֵחַ בְּלִבֹּו הוּא כְסִיל וְהֹולֵךְ בְּחָכְמָה הוּא יִמָּלֵט
27 He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.	27 נֹותֵן לָרָשׁ אֵין מַחְסֹור וּמַעְלִים עֵינָיו רַב־מְאֵרֹות
28 When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the lust shall be multiplied.	28 בְּקוּם רְשָׁעִים יִסָּתֵר אָדָם וּבְאָבְדָם יִרְבּוּ צַדִּיקִים
