| 1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. | 1 לְֽתַאֲוָה יְבַקֵּשׁ נִפְרָדבְּכׇל־תּוּשִׁיָּה יִתְגַּלָּֽע׃ |
| 2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. | 2 לֹא־יַחְפֹּץ כְּסִיל בִּתְבוּנָהכִּי אִֽם־בְּהִתְגַּלּוֹת לִבּֽוֹ׃ |
| 3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. | 3 בְּֽבוֹא־רָשָׁע בָּא גַם־בּוּזוְֽעִם־קָלוֹן חֶרְפָּֽה׃ |
| 4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. | 4 מַיִם עֲמֻקִּים דִּבְרֵי פִי־אִישׁנַחַל נֹבֵעַ מְקוֹר חׇכְמָֽה׃ |
| 5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. | 5 שְׂאֵת פְּנֵֽי־רָשָׁע לֹא־טוֹבלְהַטּוֹת צַדִּיק בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
| 6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. | 6 שִׂפְתֵי כְסִיל יָבֹאוּ בְרִיבוּפִיו לְֽמַהֲלֻמוֹת יִקְרָֽא׃ |
| 7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. | 7 פִּֽי־כְסִיל מְחִתָּה־לוֹוּשְׂפָתָיו מוֹקֵשׁ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
| 8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. | 8 דִּבְרֵי נִרְגָּן כְּמִֽתְלַהֲמִיםוְהֵם יָרְדוּ חַדְרֵי־בָֽטֶן׃ |
| 9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. | 9 גַּם מִתְרַפֶּה בִמְלַאכְתּוֹאָח הוּא לְבַעַל מַשְׁחִֽית׃ |
| 10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. | 10 מִגְדַּל־עֹז שֵׁם יְהֹוָהבּֽוֹ־יָרוּץ צַדִּיק וְנִשְׂגָּֽב׃ |
| 11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. | 11 הוֹן עָשִׁיר קִרְיַת עֻזּוֹוּכְחוֹמָה נִשְׂגָּבָה בְּמַשְׂכִּתֽוֹ׃ |
| 12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. | 12 לִפְנֵי־שֶׁבֶר יִגְבַּהּ לֶב־אִישׁוְלִפְנֵי כָבוֹד עֲנָוָֽה׃ |
| 13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. | 13 מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר בְּטֶרֶם יִשְׁמָעאִוֶּלֶת הִיא־לוֹ וּכְלִמָּֽה׃ |
| 14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? | 14 רֽוּחַ־אִישׁ יְכַלְכֵּל מַחֲלֵהוּוְרוּחַ נְכֵאָה מִי יִשָּׂאֶֽנָּה׃ |
| 15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. | 15 לֵב נָבוֹן יִקְנֶה־דָּעַתוְאֹזֶן חֲכָמִים תְּבַקֶּשׁ־דָּֽעַת׃ |
| 16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. | 16 מַתָּן אָדָם יַרְחִיב לוֹוְלִפְנֵי גְדֹלִים יַנְחֶֽנּוּ׃ |
| 17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. | 17 צַדִּיק הָרִאשׁוֹן בְּרִיבוֹ יבא וּבָֽא־רֵעֵהוּ וַחֲקָרֽוֹ׃ |
| 18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. | 18 מִדְיָנִים יַשְׁבִּית הַגּוֹרָלוּבֵין עֲצוּמִים יַפְרִֽיד׃ |
| 19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. | 19 אָח נִפְשָׁע מִקִּרְיַת־עֹז ומדונים וּמִדְיָנִים כִּבְרִיחַ אַרְמֽוֹן׃ |
| 20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. | 20 מִפְּרִי פִי־אִישׁ תִּשְׂבַּע בִּטְנוֹתְּבוּאַת שְׂפָתָיו יִשְׂבָּֽע׃ |
| 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. | 21 מָוֶת וְחַיִּים בְּיַד־לָשׁוֹןוְאֹהֲבֶיהָ יֹאכַל פִּרְיָֽהּ׃ |
| 22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. | 22 מָצָא אִשָּׁה מָצָא טוֹבוַיָּפֶק רָצוֹן מֵיְהֹוָֽה׃ |
| 23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. | 23 תַּחֲנוּנִים יְדַבֶּר־רָשׁוְעָשִׁיר יַעֲנֶה עַזּֽוֹת׃ |
| 24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. | 24 אִישׁ רֵעִים לְהִתְרֹעֵעַוְיֵשׁ אֹהֵב דָּבֵק מֵאָֽח׃ |
