Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 6

5:11 And thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption of thy flesh and thy food,

5:12 And hast said, `How have I hated instruction, And reproof hath my heart despised,

5:13 And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And to my teachers have not inclined mine ear.

5:14 As a little thing I have been all evil, In the midst of an assembly and a company.

5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones out of thine own well.

5:16 Let thy fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places rivulets of waters.

5:17 Let them be to thee for thyself, And not to strangers with thee.

5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of thy youth,

5:19 A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually.

5:20 And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?

5:21 For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.

5:22 His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden.

5:23 He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his folly magnifieth himself!

6:1 My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand,

6:2 Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth,

6:3 Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,

6:4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids,

6:5 Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler.

6:6 Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;

6:7 Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler,

6:8 She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.

6:9 Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?

6:10 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,

6:11 And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed 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
