Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 2

1:24 Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,

1:25 And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired.

1:26 I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh,

1:27 When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress.

1:28 Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.

1:29 Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.

1:30 They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,

1:31 And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled.

1:32 For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them.

1:33 And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And [is] quiet from fear of evil!'

2:1 My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee,

2:2 To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding,

2:3 For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,

2:4 If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,

2:5 Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.

2:6 For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

2:7 Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those walking uprightly.

2:8 To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He preserveth.

2:9 Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness -- every good path.

2:10 For wisdom cometh into thy heart, And knowledge to thy soul is pleasant,

2:11 Thoughtfulness doth watch over thee, Understanding doth keep thee,

2:12 To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things,

2:13 Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness,

2:14 Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked,

2:15 Whose paths [are] crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways.

2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,

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
