SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 للانسان تدابير القلب ومن الرب جواب اللسان.	1 It is for man to prepare the soul, and for the Lord to govern the tongue.
2 كل طرق الانسان نقية في عيني نفسه. والرب وازن الارواح.	2 All the ways of a man are open to his eyes; the Lord is the one who weighs spirits.

5 مكرهة الرب كل متشامخ القلب. يدا ليد لا يتبرأ.	5 All the arrogant are an abomination to the Lord. Even if hand will be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice. And this is more acceptable with God than to immolate sacrifices.
6 بالرحمة والحق يستر الاثم وفي مخافة الرب الحيدان عن الشر.	6 By mercy and truth, iniquity is redeemed. And by the fear of the Lord, one turns away from evil.

14 غضب الملك رسل الموت والانسان الحكيم يستعطفه.	14 The indignation of a king is a herald of death. And the wise man will appease it.
15 في نور وجه الملك حياة ورضاه كسحاب المطر المتأخر.	15 In the cheerfulness of the king’s countenance, there is life. And his clemency is like belated rain.
16 قنية الحكمة كم هي خير من الذهب وقنية الفهم تختار على الفضة.	16 Possess wisdom, for it is better than gold. And acquire prudence, for it is more precious than silver.
17 منهج المستقيمين الحيدان عن الشر. حافظ نفسه حافظ طريقه	17 The path of the just turns away from evils. He who guards his soul preserves his way.
18 قبل الكسر الكبرياء وقبل السقوط تشامخ الروح.	18 Arrogance precedes destruction. And the spirit is exalted before a fall.
19 تواضع الروح مع الودعاء خير من قسم الغنيمة مع المتكبرين.	19 It is better to be humbled with the meek, than to divide spoils with the arrogant.

23 قلب الحكيم يرشد فمه ويزيد شفتيه علما.	23 The heart of the wise shall instruct his mouth and add grace to his lips.
24 الكلام الحسن شهد عسل حلو للنفس وشفاء للعظام.	24 Careful words are a honeycomb: sweet to the soul and healthful to the bones.
25 توجد طريق تظهر للانسان مستقيمة وعاقبتها طرق الموت.	25 There is a way which seems right to a man, and its end result leads to death.
26 نفس التعب تتعب له لان فمه يحثّه.	26 The soul of the laborer labors for himself, because his mouth has driven him to it.
27 الرجل اللئيم ينبش الشر وعلى شفتيه كالنار المتقدة.	27 The impious man digs up evil, and in his lips is a burning fire.
28 رجل الاكاذيب يطلق الخصومة والنمّام يفرّق الاصدقاء.	28 A perverse man stirs up lawsuits. And one who is verbose divides leaders.
