1A wise son is instructed of his father; but a scorner hears not a rebuke.
2A man shall eat good from the fruit of his mouth; but the desire of the faithless is violence.
3He that guards his mouth keeps his life; but for him that opens wide his lips there shall be ruin.
4The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be abundantly gratified.
5A Tzadik hates lying; but a wicked man behaves vilely and shamefully.
6Tzedaka guards him that is upright in the way; but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7There is one that pretends himself rich, yet has nothing; there is one that pretends himself poor, yet has great wealth.
8The ransom of a man’s life are his riches; but the poor hears no threatening.
9The light of the Tzadikim rejoices; but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10By pride comes only contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom.
11Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; but he that gathers little by little shall increase.
12Hope deferred makes the heart sick; but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
13Whoever despises The Davar shall suffer thereby; but he that fears the Mitzvah shall be rewarded.
14The teaching of the wise is a fountain of Khayim, to depart from the snares of Mavet.
15Good understanding gives grace; but the way of the faithless is harsh.
16Every prudent man deals with forethought; but a fool unfolds folly.
17A wicked messenger falls into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health.
18Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction; but he that regards reproof shall be honored.
19The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; and it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20He that walks with wise men shall be wise; but the companion of fools shall wail for it.
21Evil pursues sinners; but to the Tzadikim, good shall be repaid.
22A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children; and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for HaTzadik.
23Much food is in the tillage of the poor; but there is one that is swept away by lack of justice.
24He that spares his rod hates his son; but he that loves him chastens him often.
25A Tzadik eats to the satisfying of his desire; but the belly of the wicked shall want.
אבֵּן חָכָם מוּסַר אָב; וְלֵץ לֹא שָׁמַע גְּעָרָה.
במִפְּרִי פִי אִישׁ יֹאכַל טוֹב; וְנֶפֶשׁ בֹּגְדִים חָמָס.
גנֹצֵר פִּיו שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹ; פֹּשֵׂק שְׂפָתָיו מְחִתָּה לוֹ.
דמִתְאַוָּה וָאַיִן נַפְשׁוֹ עָצֵל; וְנֶפֶשׁ חָרֻצִים תְּדֻשָּׁן.
הדְּבַר שֶׁקֶר יִשְׂנָא צַדִּיק; וְרָשָׁע יַבְאִישׁ וְיַחְפִּיר.
וצְדָקָה תִּצֹּר תָּם דָּרֶךְ; וְרִשְׁעָה תְּסַלֵּף חַטָּאת.
זיֵשׁ מִתְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵין כֹּל; מִתְרוֹשֵׁשׁ וְהוֹן רָב.
חכֹּפֶר נֶפֶשׁ אִישׁ עָשְׁרוֹ; וְרָשׁ לֹא שָׁמַע גְּעָרָה.
טאוֹר צַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמָח; וְנֵר רְשָׁעִים יִדְעָךְ.
ירַק בְּזָדוֹן יִתֵּן מַצָּה; וְאֶת נוֹעָצִים חָכְמָה.
יאהוֹן מֵהֶבֶל יִמְעָט; וְקֹבֵץ עַל יָד יַרְבֶּה.
יבתּוֹחֶלֶת מְמֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה לֵב; וְעֵץ חַיִּים תַּאֲוָה בָאָה.
יגבָּז לְדָבָר יֵחָבֶל לוֹ; וִירֵא מִצְוָה הוּא יְשֻׁלָּם.
ידתּוֹרַת חָכָם מְקוֹר חַיִּים לָסוּר מִמֹּקְשֵׁי מָוֶת.
טושֵׂכֶל טוֹב יִתֶּן חֵן; וְדֶרֶךְ בֹּגְדִים אֵיתָן.
טזכָּל עָרוּם יַעֲשֶׂה בְדָעַת; וּכְסִיל יִפְרֹשׂ אִוֶּלֶת.
יזמַלְאָךְ רָשָׁע יִפֹּל בְּרָע; וְצִיר אֱמוּנִים מַרְפֵּא.
יחרֵישׁ וְקָלוֹן פּוֹרֵעַ מוּסָר; וְשֹׁמֵר תּוֹכַחַת יְכֻבָּד.
יטתַּאֲוָה נִהְיָה תֶּעֱרַב לְנָפֶשׁ; וְתוֹעֲבַת כְּסִילִים סוּר מֵרָע.
כהלוך (הוֹלֵךְ) אֶת חֲכָמִים וחכם (יֶחְכָּם); וְרֹעֶה כְסִילִים יֵרוֹעַ.
כאחַטָּאִים תְּרַדֵּף רָעָה; וְאֶת צַדִּיקִים יְשַׁלֶּם טוֹב.
כבטוֹב יַנְחִיל בְּנֵי בָנִים; וְצָפוּן לַצַּדִּיק חֵיל חוֹטֵא.
כגרָב אֹכֶל נִיר רָאשִׁים; וְיֵשׁ נִסְפֶּה בְּלֹא מִשְׁפָּט.
כדחוֹשֵׂךְ שִׁבְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵא בְנוֹ; וְאֹהֲבוֹ שִׁחֲרוֹ מוּסָר.
כהצַדִּיק אֹכֵל לְשֹׂבַע נַפְשׁוֹ; וּבֶטֶן רְשָׁעִים תֶּחְסָר.
