Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 28

22:10 Cast out a scorner -- and contention goeth out, And strife and shame cease.

22:11 Whoso is loving cleanness of heart, Grace [are] his lips, a king [is] his friend.

22:12 The eyes of Jehovah have kept knowledge, And He overthroweth the words of the treacherous.

22:13 The slothful hath said, `A lion [is] without, In the midst of the broad places I am slain.'

22:14 A deep pit [is] the mouth of strange women, The abhorred of Jehovah falleth there.

22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, The rod of chastisement putteth it far from him.

22:16 He is oppressing the poor to multiply to him, He is giving to the rich -- only to want.

22:17 Incline thine ear, and hear words of the wise, And thy heart set to my knowledge,

22:18 For they are pleasant when thou dost keep them in thy heart, They are prepared together for thy lips.

22:19 That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I caused thee to know to-day, even thou.

22:20 Have I not written to thee three times With counsels and knowledge?

22:21 To cause thee to know the certainty of sayings of truth, To return sayings of truth to those sending thee.

22:22 Rob not the poor because he [is] poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate.

22:23 For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.

22:24 Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,

22:25 Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to thy soul.

22:26 Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties [for] burdens.

22:27 If thou hast nothing to pay, Why doth he take thy bed from under thee?

22:28 Remove not a border of olden times, That thy fathers have made.

22:29 Hast thou seen a man speedy in his business? Before kings he doth station himself, He stations not himself before obscure men!

23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which [is] before thee,

23:2 And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a man of appetite.

23:3 Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it [is] lying food.

23:4 Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.

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
