Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 27

21:19 Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than [with] a woman of contentions and anger.

21:20 A treasure to be desired, and oil, [Is] in the habitation of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up.

21:21 Whoso is pursuing righteousness and kindness, Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

21:22 A city of the mighty hath the wise gone up, And bringeth down the strength of its confidence.

21:23 Whoso is keeping his mouth and his tongue, Is keeping from adversities his soul.

21:24 Proud, haughty, scorner [is] his name, Who is working in the wrath of pride.

21:25 The desire of the slothful slayeth him, For his hands have refused to work.

21:26 All the day desiring he hath desired, And the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

21:27 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination, Much more when in wickedness he bringeth it.

21:28 A false witness doth perish, And an attentive man for ever speaketh.

21:29 A wicked man hath hardened by his face, And the upright -- he prepareth his way.

21:30 There is no wisdom, nor understanding, Nor counsel, over-against Jehovah.

21:31 A horse is prepared for a day of battle, And the deliverance [is] of Jehovah!

22:1 A name is chosen rather than much wealth, Than silver and than gold -- good grace.

22:2 Rich and poor have met together, The Maker of them all [is] Jehovah.

22:3 The prudent hath seen the evil, and is hidden, And the simple have passed on, and are punished.

22:4 The end of humility [is] the fear of Jehovah, Riches, and honour, and life.

22:5 Thorns -- snares [are] in the way of the perverse, Whoso is keeping his soul is far from them.

22:6 Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is old he turneth not from it.

22:7 The rich over the poor ruleth, And a servant [is] the borrower to the lender.

22:8 Whoso is sowing perverseness reapeth sorrow, And the rod of his anger weareth out.

22:9 The good of eye -- he is blessed, For he hath given of his bread to the poor.

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
