STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 טֹוב־רָשׁ הֹולֵךְ בְּתֻמֹּו מֵעִקֵּשׁ פָתָיו וְהוּא כְסִיל	1 Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
2 גַּם בְּלֹא־דַעַת נֶפֶשׁ לֹא־טֹוב וְאָץ בְּרַגְלַיִם חֹוטֵא	2 Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
3 אִוֶּלֶת אָדָם תְּסַלֵּף דַּרְכֹּו וְעַל־יְהוָה יִזְעַף לִבֹּו	3 The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
4 הֹון יֹסִיף רֵעִים רַבִּים וְדָל מֵרֵעהוּ יִפָּרֵד	4 Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
5 עֵד קָרִים לֹא יִנָּקֶה וְיָפִיחַ כְּזָבִים לֹא יִמָּלֵט	5 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 רַבִּים יְחַלּוּ פְנֵי־נָדִיב וְכָל־הָרֵעַ לְאִישׁ מַתָּן	6 Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
7 כָּל אֲחֵי־רָשׁ ׀ שְׂנֵאֻהוּ אַף כִּי מְרֵעֵהוּ רָחֲקוּ מִמֶּנּוּ מְרַדֵּף אֲמָרִים [לֹא־ כ] (לֹו־הֵמָּה׃ ק)	7 The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
8 קֹנֶה־לֵּב אֹהֵב נַפְשֹׁו שֹׁמֵר תְּבוּנָה לִמְצֹא־טֹוב	8 But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.
9 עֵד קָרִים לֹא יִנָּקֶה וְיָפִיחַ כְּזָבִים יֹאבֵד׃ פ	9 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
10 לֹא־נָאוֶה לִכְסִיל תַּעֲנוּג אַף כִּי־לְעֶבֶד ׀ מְשֹׁל בְּשָׂרִים	10 Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 שֵׂכֶל אָדָם הֶאֱרִיךְ אַפֹּו וְתִפאַרְתֹּו עֲבֹר עַל־פָּשַׁע	11 The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
12 נַהַם כַּכְּפִיר זַעַף מֶלֶךְ וּכְטַל עַל־עֵשֶׂב רְצֹונֹו	12 As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
13 הַוֹּת לְאָבִיו בֵּן כְּסִיל וְדֶלֶף טֹרֵד מִדְיְנֵי אִשָּׁה	13 A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
14 בַּיִת וָהֹון נַחֲלַת אָבֹות וּמֵיְהוָה אִשָּׁה מַשְׂכָּלֶת	14 House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
15 עַצְלָה תַּפִּיל תַּרְדֵּמָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְמִיָּה תִרְעָב	15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 שֹׁמֵר מִצְוָה שֹׁמֵר נַפְשֹׁו בֹּוזֵה דְרָכָיו [יוּמָת כ] (יָמוּת׃ ק)	16 He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
17 מַלְוֵה יְהוָה חֹונֵן דָּל וּגְמֻלֹו יְשַׁלֶּם־לֹו	17 He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
18 יַסֵּר בִּנְךָ כִּי־יֵשׁ תִּקְוָה וְאֶל־הֲמִיתֹו אַל־תִּשָּׂא נַפְשֶׁךָ	18 Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
19 [גֹּרַל־ כ] (גְּדָל־חֵמָה ק) נֹשֵׂא עֹנֶשׁ כִּי אִם־תַּצִּיל וְעֹוד תֹּוסִף	19 He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
20 שְׁמַע עֵצָה וְקַבֵּל מוּסָר לְמַעַן תֶּחְכַּם בְּאַחֲרִיתֶךָ	20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
21 רַבֹּות מַחֲשָׁבֹות בְּלֶב־אִישׁ וַעֲצַת יְהוָה הִיא תָקוּם	21 There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
22 תַּאֲוַת אָדָם חַסְדֹּו וְטֹוב־רָשׁ מֵאִישׁ כָּזָב	22 A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
23 יִרְאַת יְהוָה לְחַיִּים וְשָׂבֵעַ יָלִין בַּל־יִפָּקֶד רָע	23 The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.
24 טָמַן עָצֵל יָדֹו בַּצַּלָּחַת גַּם־אֶל־פִּיהוּ לֹא יְשִׁיבֶנָּה	24 The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
25 לֵץ תַּכֶּה וּפֶתִי יַעְרִם וְהֹוכִיחַ לְנָבֹון יָבִין דָּעַת	25 The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline.
26 מְשַׁדֶּד־אָב יַבְרִיחַ אֵם בֵּן מֵבִישׁ וּמַחְפִּיר	26 He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
27 חַדַל־בְּנִי לִשְׁמֹעַ מוּסָר לִשְׁגֹות מֵאִמְרֵי־דָעַת	27 Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
28 עֵד בְּלִיַּעַל יָלִיץ מִשְׁפָּט וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְבַלַּע־אָוֶן	28 An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29 נָכֹונוּ לַלֵּצִים שְׁפָטִים וּמַהֲלֻמֹות לְגֵו כְּסִילִים	29 Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools.
