Yermĭyahu ( ירמיהו) - Geremia 26

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 כַּשֶּׁלֶג ׀ בַּקַּיִץ וְכַמָּטָר בַּקָּצִיר כֵּן לֹא־נָאוֶה לִכְסִיל כָּבֹוד	1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 כַּצִּפֹּור לָנוּד כַּדְּרֹור לָעוּף כֵּן קִלְלַת חִנָּם [לֹא כ] (לֹו ק) תָבֹא	2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 שֹׁוט לַסּוּס מֶתֶג לַחֲמֹור וְשֵׁבֶט לְגֵו כְּסִילִים	3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 אַל־תַּעַן כְּסִיל כְּאִוַּלְתֹּו פֶּן־תִּשְׁוֶה־לֹּו גַם־אָתָּה	4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 עֲנֵה כְסִיל כְּאִוַּלְתֹּו פֶּן־יִהְיֶה חָכָם בְּעֵינָיו	5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 מְקַצֶּה רַגְלַיִם חָמָס שֹׁתֶה שֹׁלֵחַ דְּבָרִים בְּיַד־כְּסִיל	6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 דַּלְיוּ קַיִם מִפִּסֵּחַ וּמָשָׁל בְּפִי כְסִילִים	7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 כִּצְרֹור אֶבֶן בְּמַרְגֵּמָה כֵּן־נֹותֵן לִכְסִיל כָּבֹוד	8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 חֹוחַ עָלָה בְיַד־שִׁכֹּור וּמָשָׁל בְּפִי כְסִילִים	9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 רַב מְחֹולֵל־כֹּל וְשֹׂכֵר כְּסִיל וְשֹׂכֵר עֹבְרִים	10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 כְּכֶלֶב שָׁב עַל־קֵאֹו כְּסִיל שֹׁונֶה בְאִוַּלְתֹּו	11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 רָאִיתָ אִישׁ חָכָם בְּעֵינָיו תִּקְוָה לִכְסִיל מִמֶּנּוּ	12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 אָמַר עָצֵל שַׁחַל בַּדָּרֶךְ אֲרִי בֵּין הָרְחֹבֹות	13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 הַדֶּלֶת תִּסֹּוב עַל־צִירָהּ וְעָצֵל עַל־מִטָּתֹו	14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 טָמַן עָצֵל יָדֹו בַּצַּלָּחַת נִלְאָה לַהֲשִׁיבָהּ אֶל־פִּיו	15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 חָכָם עָצֵל בְּעֵינָיו מִשִּׁבְעָה מְשִׁיבֵי טָעַם	16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17 מַחֲזִיק בְּאָזְנֵי־כָלֶב עֹבֵר מִתְעַבֵּר עַל־רִיב לֹּא־לֹו	17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 כְּמִתְלַהְלֵהַּ הַיֹּרֶה זִקִּים חִצִּים וָמָוֶת	18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 כֵּן־אִישׁ רִמָּה אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ וְאָמַר הֲ‍לֹא־מְשַׂחֵק אָנִי	19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 בְּאֶפֶס עֵצִים תִּכְבֶּה־אֵשׁ וּבְאֵין נִרְגָּן יִשְׁתֹּק מָדֹון	20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 פֶּחָם לְגֶחָלִים וְעֵצִים לְאֵשׁ וְאִישׁ [מִדֹונִים כ] (מִדְיָנִים ק) לְחַרְחַר־רִיב׃ פ	21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 דִּבְרֵי נִרְגָּן כְּמִתְלַהֲמִים וְהֵם יָרְדוּ חַדְרֵי־בָטֶן	22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 כֶּסֶף סִיגִים מְצֻפֶּה עַל־חָרֶשׂ שְׂפָתַיִם דֹּלְקִים וְלֶב־רָע	23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 [בִּשְׂפָתֹו כ] (בִּשְׂפָתָיו ק) יִנָּכֵר שֹׂונֵא וּבְקִרְבֹּו יָשִׁית מִרְמָה	24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25 כִּי־יְחַנֵּן קֹולֹו אַל־תַּאֲמֶן־בֹּו כִּי שֶׁבַע תֹּועֵבֹות בְּלִבֹּו	25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 תִּכַּסֶּה נְאָה בְּמַשָּׁאֹון תִּגָּלֶה רָעָתֹו בְקָהָל	26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 כֹּרֶהשַּׁ־חַת בָּהּ יִפֹּל וְגֹלֵל אֶבֶן אֵלָיו תָּשׁוּב	27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 לְשֹׁוןשֶׁ־קֶר יִשְׂנָא דַכָּיו וּפֶה חָלָק יַעֲשֶׂה מִדְחֶה	28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
