Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 7

6:12 A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking [with] perverseness of mouth,

6:13 Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,

6:14 Frowardness [is] in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.

6:15 Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken -- and no healing.

6:16 These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven [are] abominations to His soul.

6:17 Eyes high -- tongues false -- And hands shedding innocent blood --

6:18 A heart devising thoughts of vanity -- Feet hasting to run to evil --

6:19 A false witness [who] doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren.

6:20 Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.

6:21 Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck.

6:22 In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked -- it talketh [with] thee.

6:23 For a lamp [is] the command, And the law a light, And a way of life [are] reproofs of instruction,

6:24 To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

6:25 Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids.

6:26 For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.

6:27 Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?

6:28 Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?

6:29 So [is] he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.

6:30 They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his soul when he is hungry,

6:31 And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.

6:32 He who committeth adultery [with] a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.

6:33 A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away,

6:34 For jealousy [is] the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.

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
