Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 3

2:17 Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten.

2:18 For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.

2:19 None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of life.

2:20 That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of the righteous dost keep.

2:21 For the upright do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left in it,

2:22 And the wicked from the earth are cut off, And treacherous dealers plucked out of it!

3:1 My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart keep,

3:2 For length of days and years, Life and peace they do add to thee.

3:3 Let not kindness and truth forsake thee, Bind them on thy neck, Write them on the tablet of thy heart,

3:4 And find grace and good understanding In the eyes of God and man.

3:5 Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.

3:6 In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy paths.

3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside from evil.

3:8 Healing it is to thy navel, And moistening to thy bones.

3:9 Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase;

3:10 And filled are thy barns [with] plenty, And [with] new wine thy presses break forth.

3:11 Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof,

3:12 For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.

3:13 O the happiness of a man [who] hath found wisdom, And of a man [who] bringeth forth understanding.

3:14 For better [is] her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold -- her increase.

3:15 Precious she [is] above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her.

3:16 Length of days [is] in her right hand, In her left [are] wealth and honour.

3:17 Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, And all her paths [are] peace.

3:18 A tree of life she [is] to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her [is] happy.

3:19 Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the heavens by understanding.

3:20 By His knowledge depths have been rent, And clouds do drop dew.

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
