Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 34

26:25 When his voice is gracious trust not in him, For seven abominations [are] in his heart.

26:26 Hatred is covered by deceit, Revealed is its wickedness in an assembly.

26:27 Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And the roller of a stone, to him it turneth.

26:28 A lying tongue hateth its bruised ones, And a flattering mouth worketh an overthrow!

27:1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow, For thou knowest not what a day bringeth forth.

27:2 Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth, A stranger, and not thine own lips.

27:3 A stone [is] heavy, and the sand [is] heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than they both.

27:4 Fury [is] fierce, and anger [is] overflowing, And who standeth before jealousy?

27:5 Better [is] open reproof than hidden love.

27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a lover, And abundant the kisses of an enemy.

27:7 A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And [to] a hungry soul every bitter thing [is] sweet.

27:8 As a bird wandering from her nest, So [is] a man wandering from his place.

27:9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one's friend -- from counsel of the soul.

27:10 Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better [is] a near neighbour than a brother afar off.

27:11 Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart. And I return my reproacher a word.

27:12 The prudent hath seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple have passed on, they are punished.

27:13 Take his garment, when a stranger hath been surety, And for a strange woman pledge it.

27:14 Whoso is saluting his friend with a loud voice, In the morning rising early, A light thing it is reckoned to him.

27:15 A continual dropping in a day of rain, And a woman of contentions are alike,

27:16 Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calleth out.

27:17 Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.

27:18 The keeper of a fig-tree eateth its fruit, And the preserver of his master is honoured.

27:19 As [in] water the face [is] to face, So the heart of man to man.

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
