Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 31

24:17 In the falling of thine enemy rejoice not, And in his stumbling let not thy heart be joyful,

24:18 Lest Jehovah see, and [it be] evil in His eyes, And He hath turned from off him His anger.

24:19 Fret not thyself at evil doers, Be not envious at the wicked,

24:20 For there is not a posterity to the evil, The lamp of the wicked is extinguished.

24:21 Fear Jehovah, my son, and the king, With changers mix not up thyself,

24:22 For suddenly doth their calamity rise, And the ruin of them both -- who knoweth!

24:23 These also are for the wise: -- To discern faces in judgment is not good.

24:24 Whoso is saying to the wicked, `Thou [art] righteous,' Peoples execrate him -- nations abhor him.

24:25 And to those reproving it is pleasant, And on them cometh a good blessing.

24:26 Lips he kisseth who is returning straightforward words.

24:27 Prepare in an out-place thy work, And make it ready in the field -- go afterwards, Then thou hast built thy house.

24:28 Be not a witness for nought against thy neighbour, Or thou hast enticed with thy lips.

24:29 Say not, `As he did to me, so I do to him, I render to each according to his work.'

24:30 Near the field of a slothful man I passed by, And near the vineyard of a man lacking heart.

24:31 And lo, it hath gone up -- all of it -- thorns! Covered its face have nettles, And its stone wall hath been broken down.

24:32 And I see -- I -- I do set my heart, I have seen -- I have received instruction,

24:33 A little sleep -- a little slumber -- A little folding of the hands to lie down.

24:34 And thy poverty hath come [as] a traveller, And thy want as an armed man!

25:1 Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed: --

25:2 The honour of God [is] to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.

25:3 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings -- [are] unsearchable.

25:4 Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth,

25:5 Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne.

25:6 Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.

25:7 For better [that] he hath said to thee, `Come thou up hither,' Than [that] he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen.

25:8 Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush?

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
