Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 20

16:6 In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil.

16:7 When a man's ways please Jehovah, even his enemies, He causeth to be at peace with him.

16:8 Better [is] a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.

16:9 The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.

16:10 An oath [is] on the lips of a king, In judgment his mouth trespasseth not.

16:11 A just beam and balances [are] Jehovah's, His work [are] all the stones of the bag.

16:12 An abomination to kings [is] doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.

16:13 The delight of kings [are] righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,

16:14 The fury of a king [is] messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it.

16:15 In the light of a king's face [is] life, And his good-will [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.

16:16 To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!

16:17 A highway of the upright [is], `Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.

16:18 Before destruction [is] pride, And before stumbling -- a haughty spirit.'

16:19 Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.

16:20 The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting in Jehovah, O his happiness.

16:21 To the wise in heart is called, `Intelligent,' And sweetness of lips increaseth learning.

16:22 A fountain of life [is] understanding to its possessors, The instruction of fools is folly.

16:23 The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning,

16:24 Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.

16:25 There is a way right before a man, And its latter end -- ways of death.

16:26 A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused [him] to bend over it.

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
