Proverbs 13
Proverbs on instruction, speech, and wealth (continued)
בֵּן חָכָם מוּסַר אָב וְלֵץ לֹא-שָׁמַע גְּעָרָֽה׃
A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
מִפְּרִי פִי-אִישׁ יֹאכַל טוֹב וְנֶפֶשׁ בֹּגְדִים חָמָֽס׃
A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
נֹצֵר פִּיו שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹ פֹּשֵׂק שְׂפָתָיו מְחִתָּה-לֽוֹ׃
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
מִתְאַוָּה וָאַיִן נַפְשׁוֹ עָצֵל וְנֶפֶשׁ חָרֻצִים תְּדֻשָּֽׁן׃
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
דְּבַר-שֶׁקֶר יִשְׂנָא צַדִּיק וְרָשָׁע יַבְאִישׁ וְיַחְפִּֽיר׃
A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
צְדָקָה תִּצֹּר תָּם-דָּרֶךְ וְרִשְׁעָה תְּסַלֵּף חַטָּֽאת׃
Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
יֵשׁ מִתְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵין כֹּל מִתְרוֹשֵׁשׁ וְהוֹן רָֽב׃
There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
כֹּפֶר נֶֽפֶשׁ-אִישׁ עָשְׁרוֹ וְרָשׁ לֹא-שָׁמַע גְּעָרָֽה׃
The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
אוֹר-צַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמָח וְנֵר רְשָׁעִים יִדְעָֽךְ׃
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
רַק-בְּזָדוֹן יִתֵּן מַצָּה וְאֶת-נוֹעָצִים חָכְמָֽה׃
Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
הוֹן מֵהֶבֶל יִמְעָט וְקֹבֵץ עַל-יָד יַרְבֶּֽה׃
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
תּוֹחֶלֶת מְמֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה-לֵב וְעֵץ חַיִּים תַּאֲוָה בָאָֽה׃
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
בָּז לְדָבָר יֵחָבֶל לוֹ וִירֵא מִצְוָה הוּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם׃
Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
תּוֹרַת חָכָם מְקוֹר חַיִּים לָסוּר מִמֹּקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃
The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
שֵֽׂכֶל-טוֹב יִתֶּן-חֵן וְדֶרֶךְ בֹּגְדִים אֵיתָֽן׃
Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
כָּל-עָרוּם יַעֲשֶׂה בְדָעַת וּכְסִיל יִפְרֹשׂ אִוֶּֽלֶת׃
Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
מַלְאָךְ רָשָׁע יִפֹּל בְּרָע וְצִיר אֱמוּנִים מַרְפֵּֽא׃
A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
רֵישׁ וְקָלוֹן פּוֹרֵעַ מוּסָר וְשֹׁמֵר תּוֹכַחַת יְכֻבָּֽד׃
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
תַּאֲוָה נִהְיָה תֶּעֱרַב לְנָפֶשׁ וְתוֹעֲבַת כְּסִילִים סוּר מֵרָֽע׃
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
(הלוך) הוֹלֵךְ אֶת-חֲכָמִים (וחכם) יֶחְכָּם וְרֹעֶה כְסִילִים יֵרֽוֹעַ׃
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
חַטָּאִים תְּרַדֵּף רָעָה וְאֶת-צַדִּיקִים יְשַׁלֶּם-טֽוֹב׃
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
טוֹב יַנְחִיל בְּנֵֽי-בָנִים וְצָפוּן לַצַּדִּיק חֵיל חוֹטֵֽא׃
