Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 19

15:17 Better [is] an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.

15:18 A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.

15:19 The way of the slothful [is] as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.

15:20 A wise son rejoiceth a father. And a foolish man is despising his mother.

15:21 Folly is joy to one lacking heart, And a man of intelligence directeth [his] going.

15:22 Without counsel [is] the making void of purposes, And in a multitude of counsellors it is established.

15:23 Joy [is] to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season -- how good!

15:24 A path of life [is] on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol beneath.

15:25 The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow.

15:26 An abomination to Jehovah [are] thoughts of wickedness, And pure [are] sayings of pleasantness.

15:27 A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoso is hating gifts liveth.

15:28 The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things.

15:29 Far [is] Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.

15:30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report maketh fat the bone.

15:31 An ear that is hearing the reproof of life Doth lodge among the wise.

15:32 Whoso is refusing instruction is despising his soul, And whoso is hearing reproof Is getting understanding.

15:33 The fear of Jehovah [is] the instruction of wisdom, And before honour [is] humility!

16:1 Of man [are] arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue.

16:2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering the spirits.

16:3 Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,

16:4 All things hath Jehovah wrought for Himself, And also the wicked [worketh] for a day of evil.

16:5 An abomination to Jehovah [is] every proud one of heart, Hand to hand he is not acquitted.

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
