STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 מַעֲנֶה־רַּךְ יָשִׁיב חֵמָה וּדְבַר־עֶצֶב יַעֲלֶה־אָף	1 A mild response shatters anger. But a harsh word stirs up fury.
2 לְשֹׁון חֲכָמִים תֵּיטִיב דָּעַת וּפִי כְסִילִים יַבִּיעַ אִוֶּלֶת	2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge. But the mouth of the senseless gushes with foolishness.
3 בְּכָל־מָקֹום עֵינֵי יְהוָה צֹפֹות רָעִים וטֹובִים	3 In every place, the eyes of the Lord consider good and evil.
4 מַרְפֵּא לָשֹׁון עֵץ חַיִּים וְסֶלֶף בָּהּ שֶׁבֶר בְּרוּחַ	4 A peaceful tongue is a tree of life. But that which is immoderate will crush the spirit.
5 אֱוִיל יִנְאַץ מוּסַר אָבִיו וְשֹׁמֵר תֹּוכַחַת יַעְרִם	5 A fool laughs at the discipline of his father. But whoever preserves rebukes will become astute. In abundant justice, there is very great virtue. But the intentions of the impious will be eradicated.
6 בֵּית צַדִּיק חֹסֶן רָב וּבִתְבוּאַת רָשָׁע נֶעְכָּרֶת	6 The house of the just has very great strength. And in the fruits of the impious, there is disorder.
7 שִׂפְתֵי חֲכָמִים יְזָרוּ דָעַת וְלֵב כְּסִילִים לֹא־כֵן	7 The lips of the wise shall disseminate knowledge. The heart of the foolish will be dissimilar.
8 זֶבַח רְשָׁעִים תֹּועֲבַת יְהוָה וּתְפִלַּת יְשָׁרִים רְצֹונֹו	8 The sacrifices of the impious are abominable to the Lord. The vows of the just are appeasing.
9 תֹּועֲבַת יְהוָה דֶּרֶךְ רָשָׁע וּמְרַדֵּף צְדָקָה יֶאֱהָב	9 The way of the impious is an abomination to the Lord. Whoever pursues justice is loved by him.
10 מוּסָר רָע לְעֹזֵב אֹרַח שֹׂונֵא תֹוכַחַת יָמוּת	10 Doctrine is evil to those who abandon the way of life. Whoever hates correction shall die.
11 שְׁאֹול וַאֲבַדֹּון נֶגֶד יְהוָה אַף כִּי־לִבֹּות בְּנֵי־אָדָם	11 Hell and perdition are in the sight of the Lord. How much more the hearts of the sons of men!
12 לֹא יֶאֱהַב־לֵץ הֹוכֵחַ לֹו אֶל־חֲכָמִים לֹא יֵלֵךְ	12 He who corrupts himself does not love the one who afflicts him, nor will he step toward the wise.
13 לֵב מֵחַ יֵיטִב פָּנִים וּבְעַצְּבַת־לֵב רוּחַ נְכֵאָה	13 A rejoicing heart gladdens the face. But by the grief of the soul, the spirit is cast down.
14 לֵב נָבֹון יְבַקֶּשׁ־דָּעַת [וּפְנֵי כ] (וּפִי ק) כְסִילִים יִרְעֶה אִוֶּלֶת	14 The heart of the wise seeks doctrine. And the mouth of the foolish feeds on ignorance.
15 כָּל־יְמֵי עָנִי רָעִים וְטֹוב־לֵב מִשְׁתֶּה תָמִיד	15 All the days of the poor are evil. A secure mind is like a continual feast.
16 טֹוב־מְעַט בְּיִרְאַת יְהוָה מֵאֹוצָר רָב וּמְהוּמָה בֹו	16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures and dissatisfaction.
17 טֹוב אֲרֻחַת יָרָק וְאַהֲבָה־שָׁם מִשֹּׁור אָבוּס וְשִׂנְאָה־בֹו	17 It is better to be called to vegetables with charity, than to a fatted calf with hatred.
18 אִישׁ חֵמָה יְגָרֶה מָדֹון וְאֶרֶך אַפַּיִם יַשְׁקִיט רִיב	18 A short-tempered man provokes conflicts. Whoever is patient tempers those who are stirred up.
19 דֶּרֶךְ עָצֵל כִּמְשֻׂכַת חָדֶק וְאֹרַח יְשָׁרִים סְלֻלָה	19 The way of the slothful is like a hedge of thorns. The way of the just is without offense.
20 בֵּן חָכָם יְשַׂמַּח־אָב וּכְסִיל אָדָם בֹּוזֶה אִמֹּו	20 A wise son gladdens the father. But the foolish man despises his mother.
21 אִוֶּלֶת שִׂמְחָה לַחֲסַר־לֵב וְאִישׁ תְּבוּנָה יְיַשֶּׁר־לָכֶת	21 Folly is gladness to the foolish. And the prudent man sets his own steps in order.
22 הָפֵר מַחֲשָׁבֹות בְּאֵין סֹוד וּבְרֹב יֹועֲצִים תָּקוּם	22 Intentions dissipate where there is no counsel. Yet truly, they are confirmed where there are many counselors.
23 שִׂמְחָה לָאִישׁ בְּמַעֲנֵה־פִיו וְדָבָר בְּעִתֹּו מַה־טֹּוב	23 A man rejoices in the verdict of his own mouth. And a word at the right time is best.
24 אֹרַח חַיִּים לְמַעְלָה לְמַשְׂכִּיל לְמַעַן סוּר מִשְּׁאֹול מָטָּה	24 The path of life is for the wise above, so that he may turn away from the end of Hell.
25 בֵּית גֵּאִים יִסַּח ׀ יְהוָה וְיַצֵּב גְּבוּל אַלְמָנָה	25 The Lord will demolish the house of the arrogant. And He will make firm the borders of the widow.
26 תֹּועֲבַת יְהוָה מַחְשְׁבֹות רָע וּטְהֹרִים אִמְרֵי־נֹעַם	26 Evil intentions are an abomination to the Lord. And pure conversation, most beautiful, shall be confirmed by him.
27 עֹכֵר בֵּיתֹו בֹּוצֵעַ בָּצַע וְשֹׂונֵא מַתָּנֹת יִחְיֶה	27 Whoever pursues avarice disturbs his own house. But whoever hates bribes shall live. Through mercy and faith, sins are purged. But through the fear of the Lord, each one turns aside from evil.
28 לֵב צַדִּיק יֶהְגֶּה לַעֲנֹות וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יַבִּיעַ רָעֹות	28 The mind of the just meditates on obedience. The mouth of the impious overflows with evils.
29 רָחֹוק יְהוָה מֵרְשָׁעִים וּתְפִלַּת צַדִּיקִים יִשְׁמָע	29 The Lord is distant from the impious. And he will heed the prayers of the just.
30 מְאֹור־עֵינַיִם יְשַׂמַּח־לֵב שְׁמוּעָה טֹובָה תְּדַשֶּׁן־עָצֶם	30 The light of the eyes rejoices the soul. A good reputation fattens the bones.
31 אֹזֶן שֹׁמַעַת תֹּוכַחַת חַיִּים בְּקֶרֶב חֲכָמִים תָּלִין	31 The ear that listens to the reproofs of life shall abide in the midst of the wise.
32 פֹּורֵעַ מוּסָר מֹואֵס נַפְשֹׁו וְשֹׁומֵעַ תֹּוכַחַת קֹונֶה לֵּב	32 Whoever rejects discipline despises his own soul. But whoever agrees to correction is a possessor of the heart.
33 יִרְאַת יְהוָה מוּסַר חָכְמָה וְלִפְנֵי כָבֹוד עֲנָוָה	33 The fear of the Lord is the discipline of wisdom. And humility precedes glory.
