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.
