Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 9

7:24 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And give attention to sayings of my mouth.

7:25 Let not thy heart turn unto her ways, Do not wander in her paths,

7:26 For many [are] the wounded she caused to fall, And mighty [are] all her slain ones.

7:27 The ways of Sheol -- her house, Going down unto inner chambers of death!

8:1 Doth not wisdom call? And understanding give forth her voice?

8:2 At the head of high places by the way, Between the paths she hath stood,

8:3 At the side of the gates, at the mouth of the city, The entrance of the openings, she crieth aloud,

8:4 `Unto you, O men, I call, And my voice [is] unto the sons of men.

8:5 Understand, ye simple ones, prudence, And ye fools, understand the heart,

8:6 Hearken, for noble things I speak, And the opening of my lips [is] uprightness.

8:7 For truth doth my mouth utter, And an abomination to my lips [is] wickedness.

8:8 In righteousness [are] all the sayings of my mouth, Nothing in them is froward and perverse.

8:9 All of them [are] plain to the intelligent, And upright to those finding knowledge.

8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold.

8:11 For better [is] wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are not comparable with it.

8:12 I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out.

8:13 The fear of Jehovah [is] to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.

8:14 Mine [is] counsel and substance, I [am] understanding, I have might.

8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness,

8:16 By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth.

8:17 I love those loving me, And those seeking me earnestly do find me.

8:18 Wealth and honour [are] with me, Lasting substance and righteousness.

8:19 Better [is] my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.

8:20 In a path of righteousness I cause to walk, In midst of paths of judgment,

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
