STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 פַּלְגֵי־מַיִם לֶב־מֶלֶךְ בְּיַד־יְהוָה עַל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ יַטֶּנּוּ	1 As the divisions of waters, so the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whithersoever he will he shall turn it.
2 כָּל־דֶּרֶךְ־אִישׁ יָשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו וְתֹכֵן לִבֹּות יְהוָה	2 Every way of a man seemeth right to himself: but the Lord weigheth the hearts.
3 עֲשֹׂה צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט נִבְחָר לַיהוָה מִזָּבַח	3 To do mercy and judgment, pleaseth the Lord more than victims.
4 רוּם־עֵינַיִם וּרְחַב־לֵב נִר רְשָׁעִים חַטָּאת	4 Haughtiness of the eyes is the enlarging of the heart: the lamp of the wicked is sin.
5 מַחְשְׁבֹות חָרוּץ אַךְ־לְמֹותָר וְכָל־אָץ אַךְ־לְמַחְסֹור	5 The thoughts of the industrious always bring forth abundance: but every sluggard is always in want.
6 פֹּעַל אֹוצָרֹות בִּלְשֹׁון שָׁקֶר הֶבֶל נִדָּף מְבַקְשֵׁי־מָוֶת	6 He that gathereth treasures by a lying tongue, is vain and foolish, and shall stumble upon the snares of death.
7 שֹׁד־רְשָׁעִים יְגֹורֵם כִּי מֵאֲנוּ לַעֲשֹׂות מִשְׁפָּט	7 The robberies of the wicked shall be their downfall, because they would not do judgment.
8 הֲפַכְפַּךְ דֶּרֶךְ אִישׁ וָזָר וְזַךְ יָשָׁר פָּעֳלֹו	8 The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right.
9 טֹוב לָשֶׁבֶת עַל־פִּנַּת־גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת מִדְיָנִים וּבֵית חָבֶר	9 It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house.
10 נֶפֶשׁ רָשָׁע אִוְּתָה־רָע לֹא־יֻחַן בְּעֵינָיו רֵעֵהוּ	10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour.
11 בַּעְנָשׁ־לֵץ יֶחְכַּם־פֶּתִי וּבְהַשְׂכִּיל לְחָכָם יִקַּח־דָּעַת	11 When a pestilent man is punished, the little one will be wiser: and if he follow the wise, he will receive knowledge.
12 מַשְׂכִּיל צַדִּיק לְבֵית רָשָׁע מְסַלֵּף רְשָׁעִים לָרָע	12 The just considereth seriously the house of the wicked, that he may withdraw the wicked from evil.
13 אֹטֵם אָזְנֹו מִזַּעֲקַת־דָּל גַּם־הוּא יִקְרָא וְלֹא יֵעָנֶה	13 He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor, shall also cry himself and shall not be heard.
14 מַתָּן בַּסֵּתֶר יִכְפֶּה־אָף וְשֹׁחַד בַּחֵק חֵמָה עַזָּה	14 A secret present quencheth anger: and a gift in the bosom the greatest wrath.
15 שִׂמְחָה לַצַּדִּיק עֲשֹׂות מִשְׁפָּט וּמְחִתָּה לְפֹעֲלֵי אָוֶן	15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: and dread to them that work iniquity.
16 אָדָם תֹּועֶה מִדֶּרֶךְ הַשְׂכֵּל בִּקְהַל רְפָאִים יָנוּחַ	16 A man that shall wander out of the way of doctrine, shall abide in the company of the giants.
17 אִישׁ מַחְסֹור אֹהֵב שִׂמְחָה אֹהֵב יַיִן־וָשֶׁמֶן לֹא יַעֲשִׁיר	17 He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich.
18 כֹּפֶר לַצַּדִּיק רָשָׁע וְתַחַת יְשָׁרִים בֹּוגֵד	18 The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous.
19 טֹוב שֶׁבֶת בְּאֶרֶץ־מִדְבָּר מֵאֵשֶׁת [מְדֹונִים כ] (מִדְיָנִים ק) וָכָעַס	19 It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.
20 אֹוצָר ׀ נֶחְמָד וָשֶׁמֶן בִּנְוֵה חָכָם וּכְסִיל אָדָם יְבַלְּעֶנּוּ	20 There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it.
21 רֹדֵף צְדָקָה וָחָסֶד יִמְצָא חַיִּים צְדָקָה וְכָבֹוד	21 He that followeth justice and mercy, shall find life, justice, and glory.
22 עִיר גִּבֹּרִים עָלָה חָכָם וַיֹּרֶד עֹז מִבְטֶחָה	22 The wise man hath scaled the city of the strong, and hath cast down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23 שֹׁמֵר פִּיו וּלְשֹׁונֹו שֹׁמֵר מִצָּרֹות נַפְשֹׁו	23 He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from distress.
24 זֵד יָהִיר לֵץ שְׁמֹו עֹושֶׂה בְּעֶבְרַת זָדֹון	24 The proud and the arrogant is called ignorant, who in anger worketh pride.
25 תַּאֲוַת עָצֵל תְּמִיתֶנּוּ כִּי־מֵאֲנוּ יָדָיו לַעֲשֹׂות	25 Desires kill the slothful: for his hands have refused to work at all.
26 כָּל־הַיֹּום הִתְאַוָּה תַאֲוָה וְצַדִּיק יִתֵּן וְלֹא יַחְשֹׂךְ	26 He longeth and desireth all the day : but he that is just, will give, and will not cease.
27 זֶבַח רְשָׁעִים תֹּועֵבָה אַף כִּי־בְזִמָּה יְבִיאֶנּוּ	27 The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness.
28 עֵד־כְּזָבִים יֹאבֵד וְאִישׁ ומֵעַ לָנֶצַח יְדַבֵּר	28 A lying witness shall perish: an obedient man shall speak of victory.
29 הֵעֵז אִישׁ רָשָׁע בְּפָנָיו וְיָשָׁר הוּא ׀ [יָכִין כ] (יָבִין ק) [דְּרָכָיו כ] (דַּרְכֹּו׃ ק)	29 The wicked man impudently hardeneth his face: but he that is righteous, correcteth his way.
30 אֵין חָכְמָה וְאֵין תְּבוּנָה וְאֵין עֵצָה לְנֶגֶד יְהוָה׃ פ	30 There is no wisdom, there is no prudence, there is no counsel against the Lord.
31 סוּס מוּכָן לְיֹום מִלְחָמָה וְלַיהוָה הַתְּשׁוּעָה	31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle: but the Lord giveth safety.
