1 בְּנִי אִם־עָרַבְתָּ לְרֵעֶךָ תָּקַעְתָּ לַזָּר כַּפֶּיךָ1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2 נֹוקַשְׁתָּ בְאִמְרֵי־פִיךָ נִלְכַּדְתָּ בְּאִמְרֵי־פִיךָ2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 עֲשֵׂה זֹאת אֵפֹוא ׀ בְּנִי וְהִנָּצֵל כִּי בָאתָ בְכַף־רֵעֶךָ לֵךְ הִתְרַפֵּס וּרְהַב רֵעֶיךָ3 Do this now, my son, deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4 אַל־תִּתֵּן שֵׁנָה לְעֵינֶיךָ וּתְנוּמָה לְעַפְעַפֶּיךָ4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5 הִנָּצֵל כִּצְבִי מִיָּד וּכְצִפֹּור מִיַּד יָקוּשׁ׃ פ5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 לֵךְ־אֶל־נְמָלָה עָצֵל רְאֵה דְרָכֶיהָ וַחֲכָם6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 אֲשֶׁר אֵין־לָהּ קָצִין שֹׁטֵר וּמֹשֵׁל7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 תָּכִין בַּקַּיִץ לַחְמָהּ אָגְרָה בַקָּצִיר מַאֲכָלָהּ8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 עַד־מָתַי עָצֵל ׀ תִּשְׁכָּב מָתַי תָּקוּם מִשְּׁנָתֶךָ9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 מְעַט נֹות מְעַט תְּנוּמֹות מְעַט ׀ חִבֻּק יָדַיִם לִשְׁכָּב10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 וּבָא־כִמְהַלֵּךְ רֵאשֶׁךָ וּמַחְסֹרְךָ כְּאִישׁ מָגֵן׃ פ11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
12 אָדָם בְּלִיַּעַל אִישׁ אָוֶן הֹולֵךְ עִקְּשׁוּת פֶּה12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13 קֹרֵץ בְּעֵינָיו מֹלֵל בְּרַגְלָו מֹרֶה בְּאֶצְבְּעֹתָיו13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14 תַּהְפֻּכֹות ׀ בְּלִבֹּו חֹרֵשׁ רָע בְּכָל־עֵת [מְדָנִים כ] (מִדְיָנִים ק) יְשַׁלֵּחַ14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15 עַל־כֵּן פִּתְאֹם יָבֹוא אֵידֹו פֶּתַע יִשָּׁבֵר וְאֵין מַרְפֵּא׃ פ15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 שֶׁשׁ־הֵנָּה שָׂנֵא יְהוָה וְשֶׁבַע [תֹּועֲבֹות כ] (תֹּועֲבַת ק) נַפְשֹׁו16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 עֵינַיִם רָמֹות לְשֹׁון שָׁקֶר וְיָדַיִם שֹׁפְכֹות דָּם־נָקִי17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 לֵב חֹרֵשׁ מַחְשְׁבֹות אָוֶן רַגְלַיִם מְמַהֲרֹות לָרוּץ לָרָעָה18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 יָפִיחַ כְּזָבִים עֵד שָׁקֶר וּמְשַׁלֵּחַ מְדָנִים בֵּין אַחִים׃ פ19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20 נְצֹר בְּנִי מִצְוַת אָבִיךָ וְאַל־תִּטֹּשׁ תֹּורַת אִמֶּךָ20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 קָשְׁרֵם עַל־לִבְּךָ תָמִיד עָנְדֵם עַל־גַּרְגְּרֹתֶךָ21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 בְּהִתְהַלֶּכְךָ ׀ תַּנְחֶה אֹתָךְ בְּשָׁכְבְּךָ תִּשְׁמֹר עָלֶיךָ וַהֲקִיצֹותָ הִיא תְשִׂיחֶךָ22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 כִּי נֵר מִצְוָה וְתֹורָה אֹור וְדֶרֶךְ חַיִּים תֹּוכְחֹות מוּסָר23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 לִשְׁמָרְךָ מֵאֵשֶׁת רָע מֵחֶלְקַת לָשֹׁון נָכְרִיָּה24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 אַל־תַּחְמֹד יָפְיָהּ בִּלְבָבֶךָ וְאַל־תִּקָּחֲךָ בְּעַפְעַפֶּיהָ25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 כִּי בְעַד־אִשָּׁה זֹונָה עַד־כִּכַּר לָחֶם וְאֵשֶׁת אִישׁ נֶפֶשׁ יְקָרָה תָצוּד׃ פ26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
27 הֲיַחְתֶּה אִישׁ אֵשׁ בְּחֵיקֹו וּבְגָדָיו לֹא תִשָּׂרַפְנָה27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 אִם־יְהַלֵּךְ אִישׁ עַל־הַגֶּחָלִים וְרַגְלָיו לֹא תִכָּוֶינָה28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 כֵּן הַבָּא אֶל־אֵשֶׁת רֵעֵהוּ לֹא יִנָּקֶה כָּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּהּ29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
30 לֹא־יָבוּזוּ לַגַּנָּב כִּי יִגְנֹוב לְמַלֵּא נַפְשֹׁו כִּי יִרְעָב30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 וְנִמְצָא יְשַׁלֵּם שִׁבְעָתָיִם אֶת־כָּל־הֹון בֵּיתֹו יִתֵּן31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
32 נֹאֵף אִשָּׁה חֲסַר־לֵב מַשְׁחִית נַפְשֹׁו הוּא יַעֲשֶׂנָּה32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
33 נֶגַע־וְקָלֹון יִמְצָא וְחֶרְפָּתֹו לֹא תִמָּחֶה33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 כִּי־קִנְאָה חֲמַת־גָּבֶר וְלֹא־יַחְמֹול בְּיֹום נָקָם34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 לֹא־יִשָּׂא פְּנֵי כָל־כֹּפֶר וְלֹא־יֹאבֶה כִּי תַרְבֶּה־שֹׁחַד׃ פ35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
