29

1 אִ֣ישׁ תּ֭וֹכָחוֹת מַקְשֶׁה־עֹ֑רֶף פֶּ֥תַע יִ֝שָּׁבֵ֗ר וְאֵ֣ין מַרְפֵּֽא׃ He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck Shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.

2 בִּרְב֣וֹת צַ֭דִּיקִים יִשְׂמַ֣ח הָעָ֑ם וּבִמְשֹׁ֥ל רָ֝שָׁ֗ע יֵאָ֥נַֽח עָֽם׃ When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.

3 אִישׁ־אֹהֵ֣ב חׇ֭כְמָה יְשַׂמַּ֣ח אָבִ֑יו וְרֹעֶ֥ה ז֝וֹנ֗וֹת יְאַבֶּד־הֽוֹן׃ Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.

4 מֶ֗לֶךְ בְּ֭מִשְׁפָּט יַעֲמִ֣יד אָ֑רֶץ וְאִ֖ישׁ תְּרוּמ֣וֹת יֶהֶרְסֶֽנָּה׃ The king by justice establisheth the land; but he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.

5 גֶּ֭בֶר מַחֲלִ֣יק עַל־רֵעֵ֑הוּ רֶ֝֗שֶׁת פּוֹרֵ֥שׂ עַל־פְּעָמָֽיו׃ A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.

6 בְּפֶ֤שַֽׁע אִ֣ישׁ רָ֣ע מוֹקֵ֑שׁ וְ֝צַדִּ֗יק יָר֥וּן וְשָׂמֵֽחַ׃ In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7 יֹדֵ֣עַ צַ֭דִּיק דִּ֣ין דַּלִּ֑ים רָ֝שָׁ֗ע לֹא־יָבִ֥ין דָּֽעַת׃ The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.

8 אַנְשֵׁ֣י לָ֭צוֹן יָפִ֣יחוּ קִרְיָ֑ה וַ֝חֲכָמִ֗ים יָשִׁ֥יבוּ אָֽף׃ Scornful men set a city in a blaze; But wise men turn away wrath.

9 אִֽישׁ־חָכָ֗ם נִ֭שְׁפָּט אֶת־אִ֣ישׁ אֱוִ֑יל וְרָגַ֥ז וְ֝שָׂחַ֗ק וְאֵ֣ין נָֽחַת׃ If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.

10 אַנְשֵׁ֣י דָ֭מִים יִשְׂנְאוּ־תָ֑ם וִ֝ישָׁרִ֗ים יְבַקְשׁ֥וּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ The men of blood hate him that is sincere; And as for the upright, they seek his life.

11 כׇּל־ר֭וּחוֹ יוֹצִ֣יא כְסִ֑יל וְ֝חָכָ֗ם בְּאָח֥וֹר יְשַׁבְּחֶֽנָּה׃ A fool spendeth all his spirit; But a wise man stilleth it within him.

12 מֹ֭שֵׁל מַקְשִׁ֣יב עַל־דְּבַר־שָׁ֑קֶר כׇּֽל־מְשָׁרְתָ֥יו רְשָׁעִֽים׃ If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.

13 רָ֤שׁ וְאִ֣ישׁ תְּכָכִ֣ים נִפְגָּ֑שׁוּ מֵ֤אִיר־עֵינֵ֖י שְׁנֵיהֶ֣ם יְהֹוָֽה׃ The poor man and the oppressor meet together; The LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.

14 מֶ֤לֶךְ שׁוֹפֵ֣ט בֶּאֱמֶ֣ת דַּלִּ֑ים כִּ֝סְא֗וֹ לָעַ֥ד יִכּֽוֹן׃ The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever.

15 שֵׁ֣בֶט וְ֭תוֹכַחַת יִתֵּ֣ן חׇכְמָ֑ה וְנַ֥עַר מְ֝שֻׁלָּ֗ח מֵבִ֥ישׁ אִמּֽוֹ׃ The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

16 בִּרְב֣וֹת רְ֭שָׁעִים יִרְבֶּה־פָּ֑שַׁע וְ֝צַדִּיקִ֗ים בְּֽמַפַּלְתָּ֥ם יִרְאֽוּ׃ When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.

17 יַסֵּ֣ר בִּ֭נְךָ וִינִיחֶ֑ךָ וְיִתֵּ֖ן מַעֲדַנִּ֣ים לְנַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃ {פ}
Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

18 בְּאֵ֣ין חָ֭זוֹן יִפָּ֣רַֽע עָ֑ם וְשֹׁמֵ֖ר תּוֹרָ֣ה אַשְׁרֵֽהוּ׃ Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

19 בִּ֭דְבָרִים לֹא־יִוָּ֣סֶר עָ֑בֶד כִּי־יָ֝בִ֗ין וְאֵ֣ין מַעֲנֶֽה׃ A servant will not be corrected by words; For though he understand, there will be no response.

20 חָזִ֗יתָ אִ֭ישׁ אָ֣ץ בִּדְבָרָ֑יו תִּקְוָ֖ה לִכְסִ֣יל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

21 מְפַנֵּ֣ק מִנֹּ֣עַר עַבְדּ֑וֹ וְ֝אַחֲרִית֗וֹ יִהְיֶ֥ה מָנֽוֹן׃ He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become master at the last.

22 אִֽישׁ־אַ֭ף יְגָרֶ֣ה מָד֑וֹן וּבַ֖עַל חֵמָ֣ה רַב־פָּֽשַׁע׃ An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.

23 גַּאֲוַ֣ת אָ֭דָם תַּשְׁפִּילֶ֑נּוּ וּשְׁפַל־ר֝֗וּחַ יִתְמֹ֥ךְ כָּבֽוֹד׃ A man’s pride shall bring him low; but he that is of a lowly spirit shall attain to honour.

24 חוֹלֵ֣ק עִם־גַּ֭נָּב שׂוֹנֵ֣א נַפְשׁ֑וֹ אָלָ֥ה יִ֝שְׁמַ֗ע וְלֹ֣א יַגִּֽיד׃ Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: He heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.

25 חֶרְדַּ֣ת אָ֭דָם יִתֵּ֣ן מוֹקֵ֑שׁ וּבוֹטֵ֖חַ בַּיהֹוָ֣ה יְשֻׂגָּֽב׃ The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.

26 רַ֭בִּים מְבַקְשִׁ֣ים פְּנֵֽי־מוֹשֵׁ֑ל וּ֝מֵיְהֹוָ֗ה מִשְׁפַּט־אִֽישׁ׃ Many seek the ruler’s favour; but a man’s judgment cometh from the LORD.

27 תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת צַ֭דִּיקִים אִ֣ישׁ עָ֑וֶל וְתוֹעֲבַ֖ת רָשָׁ֣ע יְשַׁר־דָּֽרֶךְ׃ {פ}
An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
