| 1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. | 1 ܛܒ ܗܘ ܠܚܡܐ ܝܒܝܫܐ ܒܫܠܝܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܒܚ̈ܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ |
| 2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. | 2 ܥܒ̣ܕܐ ܣܟܘܠܬܢܐ ܢܫܬܠܛ ܒܒܪܐ ܡܒܗܬܢܐ ܘܒܝ̈ܢܬ ܐ̈ܚܐ ܢܦܠܓ ܝܘܪܬܢܐ |
| 3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. | 3 ܨܪܦܐ ܒܩܐ ܠܣܐܡܐ ܘܟܘܪܐ ܠܕܗܒܐ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܒܚܪ ܠܒܐ |
| 4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. | 4 ܓܒܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܨܐܬ ܠܣ̈ܦܘܬܐ ܕܥܢ̈ܬܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܠܠܫܢܐ ܕܥܢ̈ܬܐ |
| 5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. | 5 ܕܓܚܟ ܥܠ ܡܣܟܢܐ ܡܪܓܙ ܠܒܪܝܗ ܘܕܚܕܐ ܠܬܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܚܣܐ |
| 6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. | 6 ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܣ̈ܒܐ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܒܢ̈ܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܒܢ̈ܝܐ ܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ |
| 7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. | 7 ܠܐ ܝܐܝܐ ܠܣܟܠܐ ܣܦܬܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܣܦܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ |
| 8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. | 8 ܟܐܦܐ ܕܪ̈ܚܡ̣ܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܕܝܠܗ ܗܝ ܘܠܐܬܪ ܕܡܬܦܢܝܐ ܣܘܟܠܐ ܗܝ |
| 9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. | 9 ܕܡܟܣܐ ܥܘ̣ܠܐ ܒܥܐ ܪܚܡܘܬܐ ܘܕܣܢܐ ܠܡܟܣܘ ܡܢ ܪܚܡܐ ܘܥܡܘܪܐ ܦܪܫ |
| 10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. | 10 ܠܘܚܡܐ ܫܚܩ ܠܒܗ ܕܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܚܠܦ ܟܐܬܐ ܡܬܢܓܕ ܣܟܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܪܓܫ |
| 11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. | 11 ܓܒܪܐ ܚܪܝܝܐ ܒܥܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܡܫܬܕܪ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܪ̈ܚܡ̣ܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ |
| 12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. | 12 ܢܦܠ ܪܢܝܐ ܘܕܚܠܬܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܠܣܟܠܐ ܒܫܛܝܘܬܗ |
| 13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. | 13 ܕܦܪܥ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܥܢܕ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܗ |
| 14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. | 14 ܕܐܫܕ ܕܡܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܡܓܪܓ ܩܕܡ ܫܠܝܛܐ |
| 15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. | 15 ܕܡܙܟܐ ܠܥܘܠܐ ܘܡܚܝܒ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܛܡܐ ܗܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ |
| 16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? | 16 ܠܡܢܐ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܩܢܝܢܐ ܠܣܟܠܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܒܐ ܠܡܩܢܐ ܚܟܡܬܐ |
| 17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. | 17 ܒܟܠ ܙܒܢ ܪܚܡܐ ܪܚܝܡ ܗܘ ܘܐܚܐ ܠܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܡܬܝܠܕ |
| 18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. | 18 ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܣܟܠܐ ܡܫܠܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܕܥܪܒ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܥܪܒܘܬܐ |
| 19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. | 19 ܕܪܚܡ ܥܘ̣ܠܐ ܪܚܡ ܥܬܐ ܘܗܪܬܐ ܘܕܡܪܝܡ ܬܪܥܗ ܒܥܐ ܬܒܪܐ ܠܢܦܫܗ |
| 20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. | 20 ܕܥܫܝܩ ܠܒܗ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܕܗܦܟ ܠܫܢܗ ܢܦܠ ܒܒܝܫܬܐ |
| 21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy. | 21 ܕܡܘܠܕ ܣܟܠܐ ܠܒܗܬܬܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܕܐ ܒܗ ܐܒܘܗܝ |
| 22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. | 22 ܠܒܐ ܚܕܝܐ ܡܫܦܪ ܓܘܫܡܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܕܟܝܒܐ ܡ̇ܝܒܫܐ ܓܪ̈ܡܐ |
| 23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. | 23 ܡ̇ܢ ܕܢܣܒ ܫܘܚܕܐ ܥܘܠܐ ܗܘ ܨܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ |
| 24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. | 24 ܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ ܕܣܟܘܠܬܢܐ ܚܝܪ̈ܢ ܒܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܥܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܣܟܠܐ ܒ̈ܥܘܡܩܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ |
| 25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. | 25 ܡܪܓܙ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܒܪܐ ܣܟܠܐ ܘܡܡܪ ܠܝܠܕܬܗ |
| 26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity. | 26 ܠܡܬܟ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܠܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܡܡܚܐ ܠܙܕܝܩ̈ܐ ܕܐܡܪ̈ܝܢ ܬܪ̈ܝܨܬܐ |
| 27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. | 27 ܕܚܣܟ ܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܝܕܥ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܘܕܢܓܝܪܐ ܪܘܚܗ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܚܟܝܡܐ |
| 28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. | 28 ܫܛܝܐ ܕܫܬܝܩ ܐܝܟ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܡܬܚܫܒ ܘܕܫ̈ܠܝܢ ܣܦܘ̈ܬܗ ܣܟܘܠܬܢܐ ܡܬܚܫܒ |
