1 נָסוּ וְאֵין־רֹדֵף רָשָׁע וְצַדִּיקִים כִּכְפִיר יִבְטָח	1 The wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be without dread.
2 בְּפֶשַׁע אֶרֶץ רַבִּים שָׂרֶיהָ וּבְאָדָם מֵבִין יֹדֵעַ כֵּן יַאֲרִיךְ	2 For the sine of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.
3 גֶּבֶר רָשׁ וְעֹשֵׁק דַּלִּים מָטָר סֹחֵף וְאֵין לָחֶם	3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.
4 עֹזְבֵי תֹורָה יְהַלְלוּ רָשָׁע וְשֹׁמְרֵי תֹורָה יִתְגָּרוּ בָם׃ פ	4 They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him.
5 אַנְשֵׁי־רָע לֹא־יָבִינוּ מִשְׁפָּט וּמְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה יָבִינוּ כֹל	5 Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek after the Lord, take notice of all things.
6 טֹוב־רָשׁ הֹולֵךְ בְּתֻמֹּו מֵעִקֵּשׁ דְּרָכַיִם וְהוּא עָשִׁיר	6 Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity, than the rich in crooked ways.
7 נֹוצֵר תֹּורָה בֵּן מֵבִין וְרֹעֶה זֹולְלִים יַכְלִים אָבִיו	7 He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.
8 מַרְבֶּה הֹונֹו בְּנֶשֶׁךְ [וּבְתַרְבִּית כ] (וְתַרְבִּית ק) לְחֹונֵן דַּלִּים יִקְבְּצֶנּוּ	8 He that heapeth together riches by usury and loan, gathereth them for him that will be bountiful to the poor.
9 מֵסִיר אָזְנֹו מִשְּׁמֹעַ תֹּורָה גַּם־תְּפִלָּתֹו תֹּועֵבָה	9 He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be as abomination.
10 מַשְׁגֶּה יְשָׁרִים ׀ בְּדֶרֶךְ רָע בִּשְׁחוּתֹו הוּא־יִפֹּול וּתְמִימִים יִנְחֲלוּ־טֹוב	10 He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods.
11 חָכָם בְּעֵינָיו אִישׁ עָשִׁיר וְדַל מֵבִין יַחְקְרֶנּוּ	11 The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor man that is prudent shall search him out.
12 בַּעֲלֹץ צַדִּיקִים רַבָּה תִפְאָרֶת וּבְקוּם רְשָׁעִים יְחֻפַּשׂ אָדָם	12 In the joy of the just there is great glory: when the wicked reign, men are ruined.
13 מְכַסֶּה פְשָׁעָיו לֹא יַצְלִיחַ וּמֹודֶה וְעֹזֵב יְרֻחָם	13 He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.
14 אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מְפַחֵד תָּמִיד וּמַקְשֶׁה לִבֹּו יִפֹּול בְּרָעָה	14 Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.
15 אֲרִי־נֹהֵם וְדֹב שֹׁוקֵק מֹשֵׁל רָשָׁע עַל עַם־דָּל	15 As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.
16 נָגִיד חֲסַר תְּבוּנֹות וְרַב מַעֲשַׁקֹּות [שֹׂנְאֵי כ] (שֹׂנֵא ק) בֶצַע יַאֲרִיךְ יָמִים׃ פ	16 A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.
17 אָדָם עָשֻׁק בְּדַם־נָפֶשׁ עַד־בֹּור יָנוּס אַל־יִתְמְכוּ־בֹו	17 A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.
18 הֹולֵךְ תָּמִים יִוָּשֵׁעַ וְנֶעְקַשׁ דְּרָכַיִם יִפֹּול בְּאֶחָת	18 He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19 עֹבֵד אַדְמָתֹו יִשְׂבַּע־לָחֶם וּמְרַדֵּף רֵקִים יִשְׂבַּע־רִישׁ	19 He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.
20 אִישׁ אֱמוּנֹות רַב־בְּרָכֹות וְאָץ לְהַעֲשִׁיר לֹא יִנָּקֶה	20 A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.
21 הַכֵּר־פָּנִים לֹא־טֹוב וְעַל־פַּת־לֶחֶם יִפְשַׁע־גָּבֶר	21 He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.
22 נִבֳהָל לַהֹון אִישׁ רַע עָיִן וְלֹא־יֵדַע כִּי־חֶסֶר יְבֹאֶנּוּ	22 A man, that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him.
23 מֹוכִיחַ אָדָם אַחֲרַי חֵן יִמְצָא מִמַּחֲלִיק לָשֹׁון	23 He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.
24 גֹּוזֵל ׀ אָבִיו וְאִמֹּו וְאֹמֵר אֵין־פָּשַׁע חָבֵר הוּא לְאִישׁ מַשְׁחִית	24 He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.
25 רְחַב־נֶפֶשׁ יְגָרֶה מָדֹון וּבֹוטֵחַ עַל־יְהוָה יְדֻשָּׁן	25 He that boasteth, and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed.
26 בֹּוטֵחַ בְּלִבֹּו הוּא כְסִיל וְהֹולֵךְ בְּחָכְמָה הוּא יִמָּלֵט	26 He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.
27 נֹותֵן לָרָשׁ אֵין מַחְסֹור וּמַעְלִים עֵינָיו רַב־מְאֵרֹות	27 He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.
28 בְּקוּם רְשָׁעִים יִסָּתֵר אָדָם וּבְאָבְדָם יִרְבּוּ צַדִּיקִים	28 When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the lust shall be multiplied.
