| 1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: | 1 כִּֽי־תֵשֵׁב לִלְחוֹם אֶת־מוֹשֵׁלבִּין תָּבִין אֶת־אֲשֶׁר לְפָנֶֽיךָ׃ |
| 2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. | 2 וְשַׂמְתָּ שַׂכִּין בְּלֹעֶךָאִם־בַּעַל נֶפֶשׁ אָֽתָּה׃ |
| 3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat. | 3 אַל־תִּתְאָו לְמַטְעַמּוֹתָיווְהוּא לֶחֶם כְּזָבִֽים׃ |
| 4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. | 4 אַל־תִּיגַע לְֽהַעֲשִׁירמִֽבִּינָתְךָ חֲדָֽל׃ |
| 5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. | 5 התעוף הֲתָעִיף עֵינֶיךָ בּוֹ וְֽאֵינֶנּוּכִּי עָשֹׂה יַעֲשֶׂה־לּוֹ כְנָפַיִםכְּנֶשֶׁר ועיף יָעוּף הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ |
| 6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: | 6 אַל־תִּלְחַם אֶת־לֶחֶם רַע עָיִןוְאַל־תִּתְאָו לְמַטְעַמֹּתָֽיו׃ |
| 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. | 7 כִּי ׀ כְּמוֹ שָׁעַר בְּנַפְשׁוֹ כֶּן הוּאאֱכוֹל וּשְׁתֵה יֹאמַר לָךְוְלִבּוֹ בַּל־עִמָּֽךְ׃ |
| 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. | 8 פִּֽתְּךָ־אָכַלְתָּ תְקִיאֶנָּהוְשִׁחַתָּ דְּבָרֶיךָ הַנְּעִימִֽים׃ |
| 9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. | 9 בְּאׇזְנֵי כְסִיל אַל־תְּדַבֵּרכִּֽי־יָבוּז לְשֵׂכֶל מִלֶּֽיךָ׃ |
| 10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: | 10 אַל־תַּסֵּג גְּבוּל עוֹלָםוּבִשְׂדֵי יְתוֹמִים אַל־תָּבֹֽא׃ |
| 11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee. | 11 כִּֽי־גֹאֲלָם חָזָקהֽוּא־יָרִיב אֶת־רִיבָם אִתָּֽךְ׃ |
| 12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. | 12 הָבִיאָה לַמּוּסָר לִבֶּךָוְאׇזְנֶךָ לְאִמְרֵי־דָֽעַת׃ |
| 13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. | 13 אַל־תִּמְנַע מִנַּעַר מוּסָרכִּֽי־תַכֶּנּוּ בַשֵּׁבֶט לֹא יָמֽוּת׃ |
| 14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. | 14 אַתָּה בַּשֵּׁבֶט תַּכֶּנּוּוְנַפְשׁוֹ מִשְּׁאוֹל תַּצִּֽיל׃ |
| 15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. | 15 בְּנִי אִם־חָכַם לִבֶּךָיִשְׂמַח לִבִּי גַם־אָֽנִי׃ |
| 16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. | 16 וְתַעְלֹזְנָה כִלְיוֹתָיבְּדַבֵּר שְׂפָתֶיךָ מֵישָׁרִֽים׃ |
| 17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. | 17 אַל־יְקַנֵּא לִבְּךָ בַּחַטָּאִיםכִּי אִם־בְּיִרְאַת־יְהֹוָה כׇּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃ |
| 18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. | 18 כִּי אִם־יֵשׁ אַחֲרִיתוְתִקְוָתְךָ לֹא תִכָּרֵֽת׃ |
| 19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. | 19 שְׁמַע־אַתָּה בְנִי וַחֲכָםוְאַשֵּׁר בַּדֶּרֶךְ לִבֶּֽךָ׃ |
| 20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: | 20 אַל־תְּהִי בְסֹֽבְאֵי־יָיִןבְּזֹלְלֵי בָשָׂר לָֽמוֹ׃ |
| 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. | 21 כִּֽי־סֹבֵא וְזוֹלֵל יִוָּרֵשׁוּקְרָעִים תַּלְבִּישׁ נוּמָֽה׃ |
| 22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old. | 22 שְׁמַע לְאָבִיךָ זֶה יְלָדֶךָוְאַל־תָּבוּז כִּֽי־זָקְנָה אִמֶּֽךָ׃ |
| 23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. | 23 אֱמֶת קְנֵה וְאַל־תִּמְכֹּרחׇכְמָה וּמוּסָר וּבִינָֽה׃ |
| 24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. | 24 גול גִּיל יָגִיל אֲבִי צַדִּיק יולד וְיוֹלֵד חָכָם וישמח יִשְׂמַח־בּֽוֹ׃ |
| 25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. | 25 יִֽשְׂמַח־אָבִיךָ וְאִמֶּךָוְתָגֵל יוֹלַדְתֶּֽךָ׃ |
| 26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. | 26 תְּנָה־בְנִי לִבְּךָ לִיוְעֵינֶיךָ דְּרָכַי תרצנה תִּצֹּֽרְנָה׃ |
| 27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. | 27 כִּֽי־שׁוּחָה עֲמֻקָּה זוֹנָהוּבְאֵר צָרָה נׇכְרִיָּֽה׃ |
| 28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men. | 28 אַף־הִיא כְּחֶתֶף תֶּאֱרֹבוּבוֹגְדִים בְּאָדָם תּוֹסִֽף׃ |
| 29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? | 29 לְמִי אוֹי לְמִי אֲבוֹילְמִי מדונים מִדְיָנִים ׀ לְמִי שִׂיחַלְמִי פְּצָעִים חִנָּםלְמִי חַכְלִלוּת עֵינָֽיִם׃ |
| 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. | 30 לַֽמְאַחֲרִים עַל־הַיָּיִןלַבָּאִים לַחְקֹר מִמְסָֽךְ׃ |
| 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. | 31 אַל־תֵּרֶא יַיִן כִּי יִתְאַדָּםכִּֽי־יִתֵּן בכיס בַּכּוֹס עֵינוֹיִתְהַלֵּךְ בְּמֵֽישָׁרִֽים׃ |
| 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. | 32 אַחֲרִיתוֹ כְּנָחָשׁ יִשָּׁךְוּֽכְצִפְעֹנִי יַפְרִֽשׁ׃ |
| 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. | 33 עֵינֶיךָ יִרְאוּ זָרוֹתוְלִבְּךָ יְדַבֵּר תַּהְפֻּכֽוֹת׃ |
| 34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. | 34 וְהָיִיתָ כְּשֹׁכֵב בְּלֶב־יָםוּכְשֹׁכֵב בְּרֹאשׁ חִבֵּֽל׃ |
| 35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again. | 35 הִכּוּנִי בַל־חָלִיתִיהֲלָמוּנִי בַּל־יָדָעְתִּימָתַי אָקִיץאוֹסִיף אֲבַקְשֶׁנּוּ עֽוֹד׃ |
