Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 35

27:20 Sheol and destruction are not satisfied, And the eyes of man are not satisfied.

27:21 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And a man according to his praise.

27:22 If thou dost beat the foolish in a mortar, Among washed things -- with a pestle, His folly turneth not aside from off him.

27:23 Know well the face of thy flock, Set thy heart to the droves,

27:24 For riches [are] not to the age, Nor a crown to generation and generation.

27:25 Revealed was the hay, and seen the tender grass, And gathered the herbs of mountains.

27:26 Lambs [are] for thy clothing, And the price of the field [are] he-goats,

27:27 And a sufficiency of goats' milk [is] for thy bread, For bread to thy house, and life to thy damsels!

28:1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.

28:2 By the transgression of a land many [are] its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right -- it is prolonged.

28:3 A man -- poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.

28:4 Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them.

28:5 Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all.

28:6 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.

28:7 Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush.

28:8 Whoso is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, For one favouring the poor doth gather it.

28:9 Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer [is] an abomination.

28:10 Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good.

28:11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searcheth him.

28:12 In the exulting of the righteous the glory [is] abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.

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
