Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 21

16:27 A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips -- as a burning fire.

16:28 A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.

16:29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And hath causeth him to go in a way not good.

16:30 Consulting his eyes to devise froward things, Moving his lips he hath accomplished evil.

16:31 A crown of beauty [are] grey hairs, In the way of righteousness it is found.

16:32 Better [is] the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city.

16:33 Into the centre is the lot cast, And from Jehovah [is] all its judgment!

17:1 Better [is] a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of strife.

17:2 A wise servant ruleth over a son causing shame, And in the midst of brethren He apportioneth an inheritance.

17:3 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts [is] Jehovah.

17:4 An evil doer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue.

17:5 Whoso is mocking at the poor Hath reproached his Maker, Whoso is rejoicing at calamity is not acquitted.

17:6 Sons' sons [are] the crown of old men, And the glory of sons [are] their fathers.

17:7 Not comely for a fool is a lip of excellency, Much less for a noble a lip of falsehood.

17:8 A stone of grace [is] the bribe in the eyes of its possessors, Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

17:9 Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.

17:10 Rebuke cometh down on the intelligent More than a hundred stripes on a fool.

17:11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion, And a fierce messenger is sent against him.

17:12 The meeting of a bereaved bear by a man, And -- not a fool in his folly.

17:13 Whoso is returning evil for good, Evil moveth not from his house.

17:14 The beginning of contention [is] a letting out of waters, And before it is meddled with leave the strife.

17:15 Whoso is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these [are] an abomination to Jehovah.

17:16 Why [is] this -- a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart there is none?

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
