STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 אֹהֵב מוּסָר אֹהֵב דָּעַת וְשֹׂנֵא תֹוכַחַת בָּעַר	1 He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish.
2 טֹוב יָפִיק רָצֹון מֵיְהוָה וְאִישׁ מְזִמֹּות יַרְשִׁיעַ	2 He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord : but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.
3 לֹא־יִכֹּון אָדָם בְּרֶשַׁע וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים בַּל־יִמֹּוט	3 Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.
4 אֵשֶׁת־חַיִל עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ וּכְרָקָב בְּעַצְמֹותָיו מְבִישָׁה	4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones.
5 מַחְשְׁבֹות צַדִּיקִים מִשְׁפָּט תַּחְבֻּלֹות רְשָׁעִים מִרְמָה	5 The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
6 דִּבְרֵי רְשָׁעִים אֱרָב־דָּם וּפִי יְשָׁרִים יַצִּילֵם	6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.
7 הָפֹוךְ רְשָׁעִים וְאֵינָם וּבֵית צַדִּיקִים יַעֲמֹד	7 Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.
8 לְפִישִׂ־כְלֹו יְהֻלַּל־אִישׁ וְנַעֲוֵה־לֵב יִהְיֶה לָבוּז	8 A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
9 טֹוב נִקְלֶה וְעֶבֶד לֹו מִמְּתַכַּבֵּד וַחֲסַר־לָחֶם	9 Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.
10 יֹודֵעַ צַדִּיק נֶפֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתֹּו וְרַחֲמֵי רְשָׁעִים אַכְזָרִי	10 The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
11 עֹבֵד אַדְמָתֹו יִשְׂבַּע־לָחֶם וּמְרַדֵּף רֵיקִים חֲסַר־לֵב	11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.
12 חָמַד רָשָׁע מְצֹוד רָעִים וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּן	12 The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.
13 בְּפֶשַׁע פָתַיִם מֹוקֵשׁ רָע וַיֵּצֵא מִצָּרָה צַדִּיק	13 For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.
14 מִפְּרִי פִי־אִישׁ יִשְׂבַּע־טֹוב וּגְמוּל יְדֵי־אָדָם [יָשׁוּב כ] (יָשִׁיב ק) לֹו	14 By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.
15 דֶּרֶךְ אֱוִיל יָשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו וְשֹׁמֵעַ לְעֵצָה חָכָם	15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels.
16 אֱוִיל בַּיֹּום יִוָּדַע כַּעְסֹו וְכֹסֶה קָלֹון עָרוּם	16 A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
17 יָפִיחַ אֱמוּנָה יַגִּיד צֶדֶק וְעֵד שְׁקָרִים מִרְמָה	17 He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.
18 יֵשׁ בֹּוטֶה כְּמַדְקְרֹות חָרֶב וּלְשֹׁון חֲכָמִים מַרְפֵּא	18 There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 שְׂפַת־אֱמֶת תִּכֹּון לָעַד וְעַד־אַרְגִּיעָה לְשֹׁון שָׁקֶר	19 The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.
20 מִרְמָה בְּלֶב־חֹרְשֵׁי רָע וּלְיֹעֲצֵי שָׁלֹום שִׂמְחָה	20 Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.
21 לֹא־יְאֻנֶּה לַצַּדִּיק כָּל־אָוֶן וּרְשָׁעִים מָלְאוּ רָע	21 Whatsoever shall befall the just man. it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 תֹּועֲבַת יְהוָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר וְעֹשֵׂי אֱמוּנָה רְצֹונֹו	22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.
23 אָדָם עָרוּם כֹּסֶה דָּעַת וְלֵב כְּסִילִים יִקְרָא אִוֶּלֶת	23 A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.
24 יַד־חָרוּצִים תִּמְשֹׁול וּרְמִיָּה תִּהְיֶה לָמַס	24 The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.
25 דְּאָגָה בְלֶב־אִישׁ יַשְׁחֶנָּה וְדָבָר טֹוב יְשַׂמְּחֶנָּה	25 Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.
26 יָתֵר מֵרֵעֵהוּ צַדִּיק וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים תַּתְעֵם	26 He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.
27 לֹא־יַחֲרֹךְ רְמִיָּה צֵידֹו וְהֹון־אָדָם יָקָר חָרוּץ	27 The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold.
28 בְּאֹרַח־צְדָקָה חַיִּים וְדֶרֶךְ נְתִיבָה אַל־מָוֶת	28 In the path of justice is life: but the by-way leadeth to death.
