STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה פ בֵּן חָכָם יְשַׂמַּח־אָב וּבֵן כְּסִיל תּוּגַת אִמֹּו	1 The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes his father glad, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
2 לֹא־יֹועִילוּ אֹוצְרֹות רֶשַׁע וּצְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּוֶת	2 Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but virtue saves from death.
3 לֹא־יַרְעִיב יְהוָה נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְהַוַּת רְשָׁעִים יֶהְדֹּף	3 The LORD permits not the just to hunger, but the craving of the wicked he thwarts.
4 רָאשׁ עֹשֶׂה כַף־רְמִיָּה וְיַד חָרוּצִים תַּעֲשִׁיר	4 The slack hand impoverishes, but the hand of the diligent enriches.
5 אֹגֵר בַּקַּיִץ בֵּן מַשְׂכִּיל נִרְדָּם בַּקָּצִיר בֵּן מֵבִישׁ	5 A son who fills the granaries in summer is a credit; a son who slumbers during harvest, a disgrace.
6 בְּרָכֹות לְרֹאשׁ צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָס	6 Blessings are for the head of the just, but a rod for the back of the fool.
7 זֵכֶר צַדִּיק לִבְרָכָה וְשֵׁם רְשָׁעִים יִרְקָב	7 The memory of the just will be blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 חֲכַם־לֵב יִקַּח מִצְוֹת וֶאֱוִיל פָתַיִם יִלָּבֵט	8 A wise man heeds commands, but a prating fool will be overthrown.
9 הֹולֵךְ בַּתֹּם יֵלֶךְ בֶּטַח וּמְעַקֵּשׁ דְּרָכָיו יִוָּדֵעַ	9 He who walks honestly walks securely, but he whose ways are crooked will fare badly.
10 קֹרֵץ עַיִן יִתֵּן עַצָּבֶת וֶאֱוִיל פָתַיִם יִלָּבֵט	10 He who winks at a fault causes trouble, but he who frankly reproves promotes peace.
11 מְקֹור חַיִּים פִּי צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָס	11 A fountain of life is the mouth of the just, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
12 נְאָה תְּעֹורֵר מְדָנִים וְעַל כָּל־פְּשָׁעִים תְּכַסֶּה אַהֲבָה	12 Hatred stirs up disputes, but love covers all offenses.
13 בְּשִׂפְתֵי נָבֹון תִּמָּצֵא חָכְמָה וְשֵׁבֶט לְגֵו חֲסַר־לֵב	13 On the lips of the intelligent is found wisdom, (but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence).
14 חֲכָמִים יִצְפְּנוּ־דָעַת וּפִי־אֱוִיל מְחִתָּה קְרֹבָה	14 Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool is imminent ruin.
15 הֹון עָשִׁיר קִרְיַת עֻזֹּו מְחִתַּת דַּלִּים רֵישָׁם	15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruination of the lowly is their poverty.
16 פְּעֻלַּת צַדִּיק לְחַיִּים תְּבוּאַת רָשָׁע לְחַטָּאת	16 The just man's recompense leads to life, the gains of the wicked, to sin.
17 אֹרַח לְחַיִּים שֹׁומֵר מוּסָר וְעֹוזֵב תֹּוכַחַת מַתְעֶה	17 A path to life is his who heeds admonition, but he who disregards reproof goes astray.
18 מְכַסֶּה נְאָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר וּמֹוצִא דִבָּה הוּא כְסִיל	18 It is the lips of the liar that conceal hostility; but he who spreads accusations is a fool.
19 בְּרֹב דְּבָרִים לֹא יֶחְדַּל־פָּשַׁע וְחֹשֵׂךְ שְׂפָתָיו מַשְׂכִּיל	19 Where words are many, sin is not wanting; but he who restrains his lips does well.
20 כֶּסֶף נִבְחָר לְשֹׁון צַדִּיק לֵב רְשָׁעִים כִּמְעָט	20 Like choice silver is the just man's tongue; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21 שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יִרְעוּ רַבִּים וֶאֱוִילִים בַּחֲסַר־לֵב יָמוּתוּ	21 The just man's lips nourish many, but fools die for want of sense.
22 בִּרְכַּת יְהוָה הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר וְלֹא־יֹוסִף עֶצֶב עִמָּהּ	22 It is the LORD'S blessing that brings wealth, and no effort can substitute for it.
23 כִּשְׂחֹוק לִכְסִיל עֲשֹׂות זִמָּה וְחָכְמָה לְאִישׁ תְּבוּנָה	23 Crime is the entertainment of the fool; so is wisdom for the man of sense.
24 מְגֹורַת רָשָׁע הִיא תְבֹואֶנּוּ וְתַאֲוַת צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּן	24 What the wicked man fears will befall him, but the desire of the just will be granted.
25 כַּעֲבֹור סוּפָה וְאֵין רָשָׁע וְצַדִּיק יְסֹוד עֹולָם	25 When the tempest passes, the wicked man is no more; but the just man is established forever.
26 כַּחֹמֶץ ׀ לַשִּׁנַּיִם וְכֶעָשָׁן לָעֵינָיִם כֵּן הֶעָצֵל לְשֹׁלְחָיו	26 As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, is the sluggard to those who use him as a messenger.
27 יִרְאַת יְהוָה תֹּוסִיף יָמִים וּשְׁנֹות רְשָׁעִים תִּקְצֹרְנָה	27 The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked are brief.
28 תֹּוחֶלֶת צַדִּיקִים שִׂמְחָה וְתִקְוַת רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵד	28 The hope of the just brings them joy, but the expectation of the wicked comes to nought.
29 מָעֹוז לַתֹּם דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה וּמְחִתָּה לְפֹעֲלֵי אָוֶן	29 The LORD is a stronghold to him who walks honestly, but to evildoers, their downfall.
30 צַדִּיק לְעֹולָם בַּל־יִמֹּוט וּרְשָׁעִים לֹא יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָרֶץ	30 The just man will never be disturbed, but the wicked will not abide in the land.
31 פִּי־צַדִּיק יָנוּב חָכְמָה וּלְשֹׁון תַּהְפֻּכֹות תִּכָּרֵת	31 The mouth of the just yields wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
32 שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יֵדְעוּן רָצֹון וּפִי רְשָׁעִים תַּהְפֻּכֹות	32 The lips of the just know how to please, but the mouth of the wicked, how to pervert.
