STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 נִבְחָר ם מֵעֹשֶׁר רָב מִכֶּסֶף וּמִזָּהָב חֵן טֹוב	1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and high esteem, than gold and silver.
2 עָשִׁיר וָרָשׁ נִפְגָּשׁוּ עֹשֵׂה כֻלָּם יְהוָה	2 Rich and poor have a common bond: the LORD is the maker of them all.
3 עָרוּם ׀ רָאָה רָעָה [וְיִסָּתֵר כ] (וְנִסְתָּר ק) וּפְתָיִים עָבְרוּ וְנֶעֱנָשׁוּ	3 The shrewd man perceives evil and hides, while simpletons continue on and suffer the penalty.
4 עֵקֶב עֲנָוָה יִרְאַת יְהוָה עֹשֶׁר וְכָבֹוד וְחַיִּים	4 The reward of humility and fear of the LORD is riches, honor and life.
5 צִנִּים פַּחִים בְּדֶרֶךְ עִקֵּשׁ שֹׁומֵר נַפְשֹׁו יִרְחַק מֵהֶם	5 Thorns and snares are on the path of the crooked; he who would safeguard his life will shun them.
6 חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל־פִּי דַרְכֹּו גַּם כִּי־יַזְקִין לֹא־יָסוּר מִמֶּנָּה	6 Train a boy in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not swerve from it.
7 עָשִׁיר בְּרָשִׁים יִמְשֹׁול וְעֶבֶד לֹוֶה לְאִישׁ מַלְוֶה	7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.
8 זֹורֵעַ עַוְלָה [יִקְצֹור־ כ] (יִקְצָר־אָוֶן ק) וְשֵׁבֶט עֶבְרָתֹו יִכְלֶה	8 He who sows iniquity reaps calamity, and the rod destroys his labors.
9 טֹוב־עַיִן הוּא יְבֹרָךְ כִּי־נָתַן מִלַּחְמֹו לַדָּל	9 The kindly man will be blessed, for he gives of his sustenance to the poor.
10 גָּרֵשׁ לֵץ וְיֵצֵא מָדֹון וְיִשְׁבֹּת דִּין וְקָלֹון	10 Expel the arrogant man and discord goes out; strife and insult cease.
11 אֹהֵב [טְהֹור־ כ] (טְהָר־לֵב ק) חֵן פָתָיו רֵעֵהוּ מֶלֶךְ	11 The LORD loves the pure of heart; the man of winning speech has the king for his friend.
12 עֵינֵי יְהוָה נָצְרוּ דָעַת וַיְסַלֵּף דִּבְרֵי בֹגֵד	12 The eyes of the LORD safeguard knowledge, but he defeats the projects of the faithless.
13 אָמַר עָצֵל אֲרִי בַחוּץ בְּתֹוךְ רְחֹבֹות אֵרָצֵחַ	13 The sluggard says, "A lion is outside; in the streets I might be slain."
14 שׁוּחָה עֲמֻקָּה פִּי זָרֹות זְעוּם יְהוָה [יִפֹּול־ כ] (יִפָּל־שָׁם׃ ק)	14 The mouth of the adulteress is a deep pit; he with whom the LORD is angry will fall into it.
15 אִוֶּלֶת קְשׁוּרָה בְלֶב־נָעַר שֵׁבֶט מוּסָר יַרְחִיקֶנָּה מִמֶּנּוּ	15 Folly is close to the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
16 עֹשֵׁק דָּל לְהַרְבֹּות לֹו נֹתֵן לְעָשִׁיר אַךְ־לְמַחְסֹור	16 He who oppresses the poor to enrich himself will yield up his gains to the rich as sheer loss.
17 הַט אָזְנְךָ וּשְׁמַע דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים וְלִבְּךָ תָּשִׁית לְדַעְתִּי	17 The sayings of the wise: Incline your ear, and hear my words, and apply your heart to my doctrine;
18 כִּי־נָעִים כִּי־תִשְׁמְרֵם בְּבִטְנֶךָ יִכֹּנוּ יַחְדָּו עַל־שְׂפָתֶיךָ	18 For it will be well if you keep them in your bosom, if they all are ready on your lips.
19 לִהְיֹות בַּיהוָה מִבְטַחֶךָ הֹודַעְתִּיךָ הַיֹּום אַף־אָתָּה	19 That your trust may be in the LORD, I make known to you the words of Amen-em-Ope.
20 הֲלֹא כָתַבְתִּי לְךָ [שִׁלְשֹׁום כ] (שָׁלִישִׁים ק) בְּמֹועֵצֹת וָדָעַת	20 Have I not written for you the "Thirty," with counsels and knowledge,
21 לְהֹודִיעֲךָ קֹשְׁטְ אִמְרֵי אֱמֶת לְהָשִׁיב אֲמָרִים אֱמֶת לְשֹׁלְחֶיךָ׃ פ	21 To teach you truly how to give a dependable report to one who sends you?
22 אַל־תִּגְזָל־דָּל כִּי דַל־הוּא וְאַל־תְּדַכֵּא עָנִי בַשָּׁעַר	22 Injure not the poor because they are poor, nor crush the needy at the gate;
23 כִּי־יְהוָה יָרִיב רִיבָם וְקָבַע אֶת־קֹבְעֵיהֶם נָפֶשׁ	23 For the LORD will defend their cause, and will plunder the lives of those who plunder them.
24 אַל־תִּתְרַע אֶת־בַּעַל אָף וְאֶת־אִישׁ חֵמֹות לֹא תָבֹוא	24 Be not friendly with a hotheaded man, nor the companion of a wrathful man,
25 פֶּן־תֶּאֱלַף [אָרְחָתֹו כ] (אֹרְחֹתָיו ק) וְלָקַחְתָּ מֹוקֵשׁ לְנַפְשֶׁךָ	25 Lest you learn his ways, and get yourself into a snare.
26 אַל־תְּהִי בְתֹקְעֵי־כָף בַּעֹרְבִים מַשָּׁאֹות	26 Be not one of those who give their hand in pledge, of those who become surety for debts;
27 אִם־אֵין־לְךָ לְשַׁלֵּם לָמָּה יִקַּח מִשְׁכָּבְךָ מִתַּחְתֶּיךָ	27 For if you have not the means to pay, your bed will be taken from under you.
28 אַל־תַּסֵּג גְּבוּל עֹולָם אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֲבֹותֶיךָ	28 Remove not the ancient landmark which your fathers set up.
29 חָזִיתָ אִישׁ ׀ מָהִיר בִּמְלַאכְתֹּו לִפְנֵי־מְלָכִים יִתְיַצָּב בַּל־יִתְיַצֵּב לִפְנֵי חֲשֻׁכִּים׃ פ	29 You see a man skilled at his work? He will stand in the presence of kings; he will not stand in the presence of obscure men.
30 כֹּה ׀ אָמַר יְהוָה כִּתְבוּ אֶת־הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה עֲרִירִי גֶּבֶר לֹא־יִצְלַח בְּיָמָיו כִּי לֹא יִצְלַח מִזַּרְעֹו אִישׁ יֹשֵׁב עַל־כִּסֵּא דָוִד וּמֹשֵׁל עֹוד בִּיהוּדָה
