| 1 The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel. | 1 מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֶן־דָּוִד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל |
| 2 To know wisdom, and instruction: | 2 לָדַעַת חָכְמָה וּמוּסָר לְהָבִין אִמְרֵי בִינָה |
| 3 To understand the words of prudence: and to receive the instruction of doctrine, justice, and judgment, and equity: | 3 לָקַחַת מוּסַר הַשְׂכֵּל צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט וּמֵישָׁרִים |
| 4 To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding. | 4 לָתֵת לִפְתָאיִם עָרְמָה לְנַעַר דַּעַת וּמְזִמָּה |
| 5 A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments. | 5 יִשְׁמַע חָכָם וְיֹוסֶף לֶקַח וְנָבֹון תַּחְבֻּלֹות יִקְנֶה |
| 6 He shall understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings. | 6 לְהָבִין מָשָׁל וּמְלִיצָה דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים וְחִידֹתָם |
| 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. | 7 יִרְאַת יְהוָה רֵאשִׁית דָּעַת חָכְמָה וּמוּסָר אֱוִילִים בָּזוּ׃ פ |
| 8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother : | 8 שְׁמַע בְּנִי מוּסַר אָבִיךָ וְאַל־תִּטֹּשׁ תֹּורַת אִמֶּךָ |
| 9 That grace may be added to thy head, and a chain of gold to thy neck. | 9 כִּי ׀ לִוְיַת חֵן הֵם לְרֹאשֶׁךָ וַעֲנָקִים לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶיךָ |
| 10 My son, if sinners shall entice thee, consent not to them. | 10 בְּנִי אִם־יְפַתּוּךָ חַטָּאִים אַל־תֹּבֵא |
| 11 If they shall say: Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide snares for the innocent without cause: | 11 אִם־יֹאמְרוּ לְכָה אִתָּנוּ נֶאֶרְבָה לְדָם נִצְפְּנָה לְנָקִי חִנָּם |
| 12 Let us swallow him up alive like hell, and whole as one that goeth down into the pit. | 12 נִבְלָעֵם כִּשְׁאֹול חַיִּים וּתְמִימִים כְּיֹורְדֵי בֹור |
| 13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoils. | 13 כָּל־הֹון יָקָר נִמְצָא נְמַלֵּא בָתֵּינוּ שָׁלָל |
| 14 Cast in thy lot with us, let us all have one purse. | 14 גֹּורָלְךָ תַּפִּיל בְּתֹוכֵנוּ כִּיס אֶחָד יִהְיֶה לְכֻלָּנוּ |
| 15 My son, walk not thou with them, restrain thy foot from their paths. | 15 בְּנִי אַל־תֵּלֵךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ אִתָּם מְנַע רַגְלְךָ מִנְּתִיבָתָם |
| 16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. | 16 כִּי רַגְלֵיהֶם לָרַע יָרוּצוּ וִימַהֲרוּ לִשְׁפָּךְ־דָּם |
| 17 But a net is spread in vain before the eyes of them that have wings. | 17 כִּי־חִנָּם מְזֹרָה הָרָשֶׁת בְּעֵינֵי כָל־בַּעַל כָּנָף |
| 18 And they themselves lie in wait for their own blood, and practise deceits against their own souls. | 18 וְהֵם לְדָמָם יֶאֱרֹבוּ יִצְפְּנוּ לְנַפְשֹׁתָם |
| 19 So the wage of every covetous man destroy the souls of the possessors. | 19 כֵּן אָרְחֹות כָּל־בֹּצֵעַ בָּצַע אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ בְּעָלָיו יִקָּח׃ פ |
| 20 Wisdom preacheth abroad, she uttereth her voice in the streets: | 20 חָכְמֹות בַּחוּץ תָּרֹנָּה בָּרְחֹבֹות תִּתֵּן קֹולָהּ |
| 21 At the head of multitudes she crieth out, in the entrance of the gates of the city she uttereth her words, saying: | 21 בְּרֹאשׁ הֹמִיֹּות תִּקְרָא בְּפִתְחֵי שְׁעָרִים בָּעִיר אֲמָרֶיהָ תֹאמֵר |
| 22 O children, how long will you love childishness, and fools covet those things which are hurtful to themselves, and the unwise hate knowledge? | 22 עַד־מָתַי ׀ פְּתָיִם תְּאֵהֲבוּ פֶתִי וְלֵצִים לָצֹון חָמְדוּ לָהֶם וּכְסִילִים יִשְׂנְאוּ־דָעַת |
| 23 Turn ye at my reproof: behold I will utter my spirit to you, and will shew you my words. | 23 תָּשׁוּבוּ לְתֹוכַחְתִּי הִנֵּה אַבִּיעָה לָכֶם רוּחִי אֹודִיעָה דְבָרַי אֶתְכֶם |
| 24 Because I called, and you refused: I stretched out my hand, and there was none that regarded. | 24 יַעַן קָרָאתִי וַתְּמָאֵנוּ נָטִיתִי יָדִי וְאֵין מַקְשִׁיב |
| 25 You have despised all my counsel, and have neglected my reprehensions. | 25 וַתִּפְרְעוּ כָל־עֲצָתִי וְתֹוכַחְתִּי לֹא אֲבִיתֶם |
| 26 I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock when that shall come to you which you feared. | 26 גַּם־אֲנִי בְּאֵידְכֶם אֶשְׂחָק אֶלְעַג בְּבֹא פַחְדְּכֶם |
| 27 When sudden calamity shall fall on you, and destruction, as a tempest, shall be at hand: when tribulation and distress shall come upon you: | 27 בְּבֹא [כְשַׁאֲוָה כ] (כְשֹׁואָה ׀ ק) פַּחְדְּכֶם וְאֵידְכֶם כְּסוּפָה יֶאֱתֶה בְּבֹא עֲלֵיכֶם צָרָה וְצוּקָה |
| 28 Then shall they call upon me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning and shall not find me: | 28 אָז יִקְרָאֻנְנִי וְלֹא אֶעֱנֶה יְשַׁחֲרֻנְנִי וְלֹא יִמְצָאֻנְנִי |
| 29 Because they have hated instruction and received not the fear of the Lord, | 29 תַּחַת כִּי־שָׂנְאוּ דָעַת וְיִרְאַת יְהֹוָה לֹא בָחָרוּ |
| 30 Nor consented to my counsel, but despised all my reproof. | 30 לֹא־אָבוּ לַעֲצָתִי נָאֲצוּ כָּל־תֹּוכַחְתִּי |
| 31 Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and shall be filled with their own devices. | 31 וְיֹאכְלוּ מִפְּרִי דַרְכָּם וּמִמֹּעֲצֹתֵיהֶם יִשְׂבָּעוּ |
| 32 The turning away of little ones shall kill them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. | 32 כִּי מְשׁוּבַת פְּתָיִם תַּהַרְגֵם וְשַׁלְוַת כְּסִילִים תְּאַבְּדֵם |
| 33 But he that shall hear me, shall rest without terror, and shall enjoy abundance, without fear of evils. | 33 וְשֹׁמֵעַ לִי יִשְׁכָּן־בֶּטַח וְשַׁאֲנַן מִפַּחַד רָעָה׃ פ |
