Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 8

6:35 He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!

7:1 My son! keep my sayings, And my commands lay up with thee.

7:2 Keep my commands, and live, And my law as the pupil of thine eye.

7:3 Bind them on thy fingers, Write them on the tablet of thy heart.

7:4 Say to wisdom, `My sister Thou [art].' And cry to understanding, `Kinswoman!'

7:5 To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who hath made smooth her sayings.

7:6 For, at a window of my house, Through my casement I have looked out,

7:7 And I do see among the simple ones, I discern among the sons, A young man lacking understanding,

7:8 Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way [to] her house he doth step,

7:9 In the twilight -- in the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness.

7:10 And, lo, a woman to meet him -- (A harlot's dress, and watchful of heart,

7:11 Noisy she [is], and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not.

7:12 Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) --

7:13 And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him,

7:14 `Sacrifices of peace-offerings [are] by me, To-day I have completed my vows.

7:15 Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee.

7:16 [With] ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works -- cotton of Egypt.

7:17 I sprinkled my bed -- myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

7:18 Come, we are filled [with] loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves.

7:19 For the man is not in his house, He hath gone on a long journey.

7:20 A bag of money he hath taken in his hand, At the day of the new moon he cometh to his house.'

7:21 She turneth him aside with the abundance of her speech, With the flattery of her lips she forceth him.

7:22 He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool,

7:23 Till an arrow doth split his liver, As a bird hath hastened unto a snare, And hath not known that it [is] for its life.

29:6 In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare , And the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 29:7 The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor , The wicked understandeth not knowledge. 29:8 Men of scorning ensnare a city , And the wise turn back anger. 29:9 A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry , And he hath laughed, and there is no rest. 29:10 Men of blood hate the perfect , And the upright seek his soul. 29:11 A fool bringeth out all his mind , And the wise till afterwards restraineth it. 29:12 A ruler who is attending to lying words , All his ministers [are] wicked. 29:13 The poor and the man of frauds have met together , Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both. 29:14 a king that is judging truly the poor , His throne for ever is established. 29:15 A rod and reproof give wisdom , And a youth let away is shaming his mother. 29:16 In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth,

30:24 Four [are] little ones of earth , And they are made wiser than the wise: 30:25 The ants [are] a people not strong , And they prepare in summer their food, 30:26 Conies [are] a people not strong , And they place in a rock their house, 30:27 A king there is not to the locust , And it goeth out -- each one shouting, 30:28 A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king. 30:29 Three there are going well , Yea, four are good in going: 30:30 An old lion -- mighty among beasts , That turneth not back from the face of any, 30:31 A girt one of the loins , or a he-goat, And a king -- no rising up with him. 30:32 If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil -- hand to mouth! 30:33 For the churning of milk bringeth out butter , And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood , And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife! 31:1 Words of Lemuel a king , a declaration that his mother

25:9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not, 25:10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame , And thine evil report turn not back. 25:11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver , [Is] the word spoken at its fit times. 25:12 A ring of gold , and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive ear. 25:13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest , [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth. 25:14 Clouds and wind , and rain there is none, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift. 25:15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded , And a soft tongue breaketh a bone. 25:16 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it. 25:17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house , Lest he be satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee. 25:18 A maul, and a sword , and a sharp arrow , [Is] the man
