STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 אֹהֵב מוּסָר אֹהֵב דָּעַת וְשֹׂנֵא תֹוכַחַת בָּעַר	1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge. But whoever hates correction is unwise.
2 טֹוב יָפִיק רָצֹון מֵיְהוָה וְאִישׁ מְזִמֹּות יַרְשִׁיעַ	2 Whoever is good shall draw grace from the Lord. But whoever trusts in his own thoughts acts impiously.
3 לֹא־יִכֹּון אָדָם בְּרֶשַׁע וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים בַּל־יִמֹּוט	3 Man will not be made strong from impiety. And the root of the just shall not be moved.
4 אֵשֶׁת־חַיִל עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ וּכְרָקָב בְּעַצְמֹותָיו מְבִישָׁה	4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband. And she who acts with confusion as to which things are worthy is decay to his bones.
5 מַחְשְׁבֹות צַדִּיקִים מִשְׁפָּט תַּחְבֻּלֹות רְשָׁעִים מִרְמָה	5 The thoughts of the just are judgments. And the counsels of the impious are dishonest.
6 דִּבְרֵי רְשָׁעִים אֱרָב־דָּם וּפִי יְשָׁרִים יַצִּילֵם	6 The words of the impious lie in wait for blood. The mouth of the just shall free them.
7 הָפֹוךְ רְשָׁעִים וְאֵינָם וּבֵית צַדִּיקִים יַעֲמֹד	7 Turn from the impious, and they will not be. But the house of the just shall stand firm.
8 לְפִישִׂ־כְלֹו יְהֻלַּל־אִישׁ וְנַעֲוֵה־לֵב יִהְיֶה לָבוּז	8 A man will be known by his doctrine. But whoever is vain and heartless will suffer contempt.
9 טֹוב נִקְלֶה וְעֶבֶד לֹו מִמְּתַכַּבֵּד וַחֲסַר־לָחֶם	9 Better is a pauper who has what he needs, than someone glorious and in need of bread.
10 יֹודֵעַ צַדִּיק נֶפֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתֹּו וְרַחֲמֵי רְשָׁעִים אַכְזָרִי	10 The just one knows the lives of his beasts. But the inner most parts of the impious are cruel.
11 עֹבֵד אַדְמָתֹו יִשְׂבַּע־לָחֶם וּמְרַדֵּף רֵיקִים חֲסַר־לֵב	11 Whoever works his land shall be satisfied with bread. But whoever continually pursues leisure is most foolish. Whoever is soothed by lingering over wine leaves behind contempt in his strongholds.
12 חָמַד רָשָׁע מְצֹוד רָעִים וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּן	12 The desire of the impious is the fortification of what is most wicked. But the root of the just shall prosper.
13 בְּפֶשַׁע פָתַיִם מֹוקֵשׁ רָע וַיֵּצֵא מִצָּרָה צַדִּיק	13 For the sins of the lips draw ruin to the evil. But the just shall escape from distress.
14 מִפְּרִי פִי־אִישׁ יִשְׂבַּע־טֹוב וּגְמוּל יְדֵי־אָדָם [יָשׁוּב כ] (יָשִׁיב ק) לֹו	14 By the fruit of his own mouth, each one shall be filled with good things, and according to the works of his own hands, it will be distributed to him.
15 דֶּרֶךְ אֱוִיל יָשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו וְשֹׁמֵעַ לְעֵצָה חָכָם	15 The way of the foolish is right in his own eyes. But whoever is wise listens to counsels.
16 אֱוִיל בַּיֹּום יִוָּדַע כַּעְסֹו וְכֹסֶה קָלֹון עָרוּם	16 The senseless immediately reveals his anger. But whoever ignores injuries is clever.
17 יָפִיחַ אֱמוּנָה יַגִּיד צֶדֶק וְעֵד שְׁקָרִים מִרְמָה	17 He is a sign of justice, who speaks what he knows. But whoever deceives is a dishonest witness.
18 יֵשׁ בֹּוטֶה כְּמַדְקְרֹות חָרֶב וּלְשֹׁון חֲכָמִים מַרְפֵּא	18 He who makes promises is also jabbed, as if with a sword, in conscience. But the tongue of the wise is reasonable.
19 שְׂפַת־אֱמֶת תִּכֹּון לָעַד וְעַד־אַרְגִּיעָה לְשֹׁון שָׁקֶר	19 The lips of truth shall be steadfast forever. But a hasty witness readies a lying tongue.
20 מִרְמָה בְּלֶב־חֹרְשֵׁי רָע וּלְיֹעֲצֵי שָׁלֹום שִׂמְחָה	20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evils. But gladness follows those who take up counsels of peace.
21 לֹא־יְאֻנֶּה לַצַּדִּיק כָּל־אָוֶן וּרְשָׁעִים מָלְאוּ רָע	21 Whatever may befall the just, it will not discourage him. But the impious will be filled with disasters.
22 תֹּועֲבַת יְהוָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר וְעֹשֵׂי אֱמוּנָה רְצֹונֹו	22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. But whoever acts faithfully pleases him.
23 אָדָם עָרוּם כֹּסֶה דָּעַת וְלֵב כְּסִילִים יִקְרָא אִוֶּלֶת	23 A resourceful man conceals knowledge. And the heart of the unwise provokes foolishness.
24 יַד־חָרוּצִים תִּמְשֹׁול וּרְמִיָּה תִּהְיֶה לָמַס	24 The hand of the strong will rule. But anyone who is neglectful will pay tribute.
25 דְּאָגָה בְלֶב־אִישׁ יַשְׁחֶנָּה וְדָבָר טֹוב יְשַׂמְּחֶנָּה	25 Grief in the heart of a man humbles him. And with a good word he shall be made glad.
26 יָתֵר מֵרֵעֵהוּ צַדִּיק וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים תַּתְעֵם	26 He who ignores a loss for the sake of a friend is just. But the way of the impious will deceive them.
27 לֹא־יַחֲרֹךְ רְמִיָּה צֵידֹו וְהֹון־אָדָם יָקָר חָרוּץ	27 The dishonest will not discover gain. But the substance of a man will be like precious gold.
28 בְּאֹרַח־צְדָקָה חַיִּים וְדֶרֶךְ נְתִיבָה אַל־מָוֶת	28 In the path of justice, there is life. But the devious way leads to death.
