Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 22

17:17 At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for adversity is born.

17:18 A man lacking heart is striking hands, A surety he becometh before his friend.

17:19 Whoso is loving transgression is loving debate, Whoso is making high his entrance is seeking destruction.

17:20 The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.

17:21 Whoso is begetting a fool hath affliction for it, Yea, the father of a fool rejoiceth not.

17:22 A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten spirit drieth the bone.

17:23 A bribe from the bosom the wicked taketh, To turn aside the paths of judgment.

17:24 The face of the intelligent [is] to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool -- at the end of the earth.

17:25 A provocation to his father [is] a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.

17:26 Also, to fine the righteous is not good, To smite nobles for uprightness.

17:27 One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper [is] a man of understanding.

17:28 Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!

18:1 For [an object of] desire he who is separated doth seek, With all wisdom he intermeddleth.

18:2 A fool delighteth not in understanding, But -- in uncovering his heart.

18:3 With the coming of the wicked come also hath contempt, And with shame -- reproach.

18:4 Deep waters [are] the words of a man's mouth, The fountain of wisdom [is] a flowing brook.

18:5 Acceptance of the face of the wicked [is] not good, To turn aside the righteous in judgment.

18:6 The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth for stripes calleth.

18:7 The mouth of a fool [is] ruin to him, And his lips [are] the snare of his soul.

18:8 The words of a tale-bearer [are] as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down [to] the inner parts of the heart.

18:9 He also that is remiss in his work, A brother he [is] to a destroyer.

18:10 A tower of strength [is] the name of Jehovah, Into it the righteous runneth, and is set on high.

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
