Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 25

20:3 An honour to a man is cessation from strife, And every fool intermeddleth.

20:4 Because of winter the slothful plougheth not, He asketh in harvest, and there is nothing.

20:5 Counsel in the heart of a man [is] deep water, And a man of understanding draweth it up.

20:6 A multitude of men proclaim each his kindness, And a man of stedfastness who doth find?

20:7 The righteous is walking habitually in his integrity, O the happiness of his sons after him!

20:8 A king sitting on a throne of judgment, Is scattering with his eyes all evil,

20:9 Who saith, `I have purified my heart, I have been cleansed from my sin?'

20:10 A stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah, Even both of them [are] an abomination to Jehovah.

20:11 Even by his actions a youth maketh himself known, Whether his work be pure or upright.

20:12 A hearing ear, and a seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even both of them.

20:13 Love not sleep, lest thou become poor, Open thine eyes -- be satisfied [with] bread.

20:14 `Bad, bad,' saith the buyer, And going his way then he boasteth himself.

20:15 Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, [are] lips of knowledge.

20:16 Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for strangers pledge it.

20:17 Sweet to a man [is] the bread of falsehood, And afterwards is his mouth filled [with] gravel.

20:18 Purposes by counsel thou dost establish, And with plans make thou war.

20:19 A revealer of secret counsels is the busybody, And for a deceiver [with] his lips make not thyself surety.

20:20 Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished is his lamp in blackness of darkness.

20:21 An inheritance gotten wrongly at first, Even its latter end is not blessed.

20:22 Do not say, `I recompense evil,' Wait for Jehovah, and He delivereth thee.

20:23 An abomination to Jehovah [are] a stone and a stone, And balances of deceit [are] not good.

20:24 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, And man -- how understandeth he his way?

20:25 A snare to a man [is] he hath swallowed a holy thing, And after vows to make inquiry.

20:26 A wise king is scattering the wicked, And turneth back on them the wheel.

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
