Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 17

14:8 The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way, And the folly of fools [is] deceit.

14:9 Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright -- a pleasing thing.

14:10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle.

14:11 The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth.

14:12 There is a way -- right before a man, And its latter end [are] ways of death.

14:13 Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy [is] affliction.

14:14 From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man -- from his fruits.

14:15 The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step.

14:16 The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident.

14:17 Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.

14:18 The simple have inherited folly, And the prudent are crowned [with] knowledge.

14:19 The evil have bowed down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

14:20 Even of his neighbour is the poor hated, And those loving the rich [are] many.

14:21 Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness.

14:22 Do not they err who are devising evil? And kindness and truth [are] to those devising good,

14:23 In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips [is] only to want.

14:24 The crown of the wise is their wealth, The folly of fools [is] folly.

14:25 A true witness is delivering souls, And a deceitful one breatheth out lies.

14:26 In the fear of Jehovah [is] strong confidence, And to His sons there is a refuge.

14:27 The fear of Jehovah [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.

14:28 In the multitude of a people [is] the honour of a king, And in lack of people the ruin of a prince.

14:29 Whoso is slow to anger [is] of great understanding, And whoso is short in temper is exalting folly.

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
