STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 בְּנִי תֹּורָתִי אַל־תִּשְׁכָּח וּמִצְוֹתַי יִצֹּר לִבֶּךָ	1 My son, forget not my teaching, keep in mind my commands;
2 כִּי אֹרֶךְ יָמִים וּשְׁנֹות חַיִּים וְשָׁלֹום יֹוסִיפוּ לָךְ	2 For many days, and years of life, and peace, will they bring you.
3 חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת אַל־יַעַזְבֻךָ קָשְׁרֵם עַל־גַּרְגְּרֹותֶיךָ כָּתְבֵם עַל־לוּחַ לִבֶּךָ	3 Let not kindness and fidelity leave you; bind them around your neck;
4 וּמְצָא־חֵן וְשֵׂכֶל־טֹוב בְּעֵינֵי אֱלֹהִים וְאָדָם׃ פ	4 Then will you win favor and good esteem before God and man.
5 בְּטַח אֶל־יְהוָה בְּכָל־לִבֶּךָ וְאֶל־בִּינָתְךָ אַל־תִּשָּׁעֵן	5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not;
6 בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶיךָ דָעֵהוּ וְהוּא יְיַשֵּׁר אֹרְחֹתֶיךָ	6 In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.
7 אַל־תְּהִי חָכָם בְּעֵינֶיךָ יְרָא אֶת־יְהוָה וְסוּר מֵרָע	7 Be not wise in your own eyes, fear the LORD and turn away from evil;
8 רִפְאוּת תְּהִי לְשָׁרֶּךָ וְשִׁקּוּי לְעַצְמֹותֶיךָ	8 This will mean health for your flesh and vigor for your bones.
9 כַּבֵּד אֶת־יְהוָה מֵהֹונֶךָ וּמֵרֵאשִׁית כָּל־תְּבוּאָתֶךָ	9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with first fruits of all your produce;
10 וְיִמָּלְאוּ אֲסָמֶיךָ שָׂבָע וְתִירֹושׁ יְקָבֶיךָ יִפְרֹצוּ׃ פ	10 Then will your barns be filled with grain, with new wine your vats will overflow.
11 מוּסַר יְהוָה בְּנִי אַל־תִּמְאָס וְאַל־תָּקֹץ בְּתֹוכַחְתֹּו	11 The discipline of the LORD, my son, disdain not; spurn not his reproof;
12 כִּי אֶת אֲשֶׁר יֶאֱהַב יְהוָה יֹוכִיחַ וּכְאָב אֶת־בֵּן יִרְצֶה	12 For whom the LORD loves he reproves, and he chastises the son he favors.
13 אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מָצָא חָכְמָה וְאָדָם יָפִיק תְּבוּנָה	13 Happy the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding!
14 כִּי טֹוב סַחְרָהּ מִסְּחַר־כָּסֶף וּמֵחָרוּץ תְּבוּאָתָהּ	14 For her profit is better than profit in silver, and better than gold is her revenue;
15 יְקָרָה הִיא [מִפְּנִיִּים כ] (מִפְּנִינִים ק) וְכָל־חֲפָצֶיךָ לֹא יִשְׁווּ־בָהּ	15 She is more precious than corals, and none of your choice possessions can compare with her.
16 אֹרֶךְ יָמִים בִּימִינָהּ בִּשְׂמֹאולָהּ עֹשֶׁר וְכָבֹוד	16 Long life is in her right hand, in her left are riches and honor;
17 דְּרָכֶיהָ דַרְכֵי־נֹעַם וְכָל־נְתִיבֹותֶיהָ שָׁלֹום	17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace;
18 עֵץ־חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ וְתֹמְכֶיהָ מְאֻשָּׁר׃ פ	18 She is a tree of life to those who grasp her, and he is happy who holds her fast.
19 יְהוָה בְּחָכְמָה יָסַד־אָרֶץ כֹּונֵן מַיִם בִּתְבוּנָה	19 The LORD by wisdom founded the earth, established the heavens by understanding;
20 בְּדַעְתֹּו תְּהֹומֹות נִבְקָעוּ וּשְׁחָקִים יִרְעֲפוּ־טָל	20 By his knowledge the depths break open, and the clouds drop down dew.
21 בְּנִי אַל־יָלֻזוּ מֵעֵינֶיךָ נְצֹר תֻּשִׁיָּה וּמְזִמָּה	21 My son, let not these slip out of your sight: keep advice and counsel in view;
22 וְיִהְיוּ חַיִּים לְנַפְשֶׁךָ וְחֵן לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶיךָ	22 So will they be life to your soul, and an adornment for your neck.
23 אָז תֵּלֵךְ לָבֶטַח דַּרְכֶּךָ וְרַגְלְךָ לֹא תִגֹּוף	23 Then you may securely go your way; your foot will never stumble;
24 אִם־תִּשְׁכַּב לֹא־תִפְחָד וְשָׁכַבְתָּ וְעָרְבָה שְׁנָתֶךָ	24 When you lie down, you need not be afraid, when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.
25 אַל־תִּירָא מִפַּחַד פִּתְאֹם וּמִשֹּׁאַת רְשָׁעִים כִּי תָבֹא	25 Be not afraid of sudden terror, of the ruin of the wicked when it comes;
26 כִּי־יְהוָה יִהְיֶה בְכִסְלֶךָ וְשָׁמַר רַגְלְךָ מִלָּכֶד	26 For the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from the snare.
27 אַל־תִּמְנַע־טֹוב מִבְּעָלָיו בִּהְיֹות לְאֵל [יָדֶיךָ כ] (יָדְךָ ק) לַעֲשֹׂות	27 Refuse no one the good on which he has a claim when it is in your power to do it for him.
28 אַל־תֹּאמַר [לְרֵעֶיךָ כ] (לְרֵעֲךָ ׀ ק) לֵךְ וָשׁוּב וּמָחָר אֶתֵּן וְיֵשׁ אִתָּךְ	28 Say not to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give," when you can give at once.
29 אַל־תַּחֲרֹשׁ עַל־רֵעֲךָ רָעָה וְהוּא־יֹושֵׁב לָבֶטַח אִתָּךְ	29 Plot no evil against your neighbor, against him who lives at peace with you.
30 אַל־ [תָּרֹוב כ] (תָּרִיב ק) עִם־אָדָם חִנָּם אִם־לֹא גְמָלְךָ רָעָה	30 Quarrel not with a man without cause, with one who has done you no harm.
31 אַל־תְּקַנֵּא בְּאִישׁ חָמָס וְאַל־תִּבְחַר בְּכָל־דְּרָכָיו	31 Envy not the lawless man and choose none of his ways:
32 כִּי תֹועֲבַת יְהוָה נָלֹוז וְאֶת־יְשָׁרִים סֹודֹו	32 To the LORD the perverse man is an abomination, but with the upright is his friendship.
33 מְאֵרַת יְהוָה בְּבֵית רָשָׁע וּנְוֵה צַדִּיקִים יְבָרֵךְ	33 The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but the dwelling of the just he blesses;
34 אִם־לַלֵּצִים הוּא־יָלִיץ [וְלַעֲנִיִּים כ] (וְלַעֲנָוִים ק) יִתֶּן־חֵן	34 When he is dealing with the arrogant, he is stern, but to the humble he shows kindness.
35 כָּבֹוד חֲכָמִים יִנְחָלוּ וּכְסִילִים מֵרִים קָלֹון׃ פ	35 Honor is the possession of wise men, but fools inherit shame.
