1Wine <03196> is a mocker <03887> and strong drink <07941> is a brawler <01993>; whoever <03605> goes astray <07686> by them is not <03808> wise <02449>.
2The king’s <04428> terrifying <0367> anger is like the roar <05099> of a lion <03715>; whoever provokes <05674> him sins <02398> against himself <05315>.
3It is an honor <03519> for a person <0376> to cease <07674> from strife <07379>, but every <03605> fool <0191> quarrels <01566>.
4The sluggard <06102> will not <03808> plow <02790> during the planting season <02779>, so at harvest <07105> time he looks <07592> for the crop but has nothing <0369>.
5Counsel <06098> in a person’s <0376> heart <03820> is like deep <06013> water <04325>, but an understanding <08394> person <0376> draws <01802> it out.
6Many <07230> people <0120> profess <07121> their loyalty <02617>, but a faithful <0529> person <0376>– who <04310> can find <04672>?
7The righteous <06662> person behaves <01980> in integrity <08537>; blessed <0835> are his children <01121> after <0310> him.
8A king <04428> sitting <03427> on <05921> the throne <03678> to judge <01779> separates out <02219> all <03605> evil <07451> with his eyes <05869>.
9Who <04310> can say <0559>, “I have kept <02135> my heart <03820> clean <02135>; I am pure <02891> from my sin <02403>”?
10Diverse weights <068> <068> and diverse measures <0374> <0374>– the Lord <03068> abhors <08441> both <08147> of them.
11Even <01571> a young man <05288> is known <05234> by his actions <04611>, whether <0518> his activity <06467> is pure <02134> and whether <0518> it is right <03477>.
12The ear <0241> that hears <08085> and the eye <05869> that sees <07200>– the Lord <03068> has made <06213> them both <08147> <01571>.
13Do not <0408> love <0157> sleep <08142>, lest <06435> you become impoverished <03423>; open <06491> your eyes <05869> so that you might be satisfied <07646> with food <03899>.
14“It’s worthless <07451>! It’s worthless <07451>!” says <0559> the buyer <07069>, but when he goes on his way <0235>, he boasts <01984>.
15There <03426> is gold <02091>, and an abundance <07230> of rubies <06443>, but words <08193> of knowledge <01847> are like a precious <03366> jewel <03627>.
16Take <03947> a man’s garment <0899> when he has given security <06148> for a stranger <02114>, and when he gives surety for <01157> strangers <05237>, hold <02254> him in pledge <02254>.
17Bread <03899> gained by deceit <08267> tastes sweet <06149> to a person <0376>, but afterward <0310> his mouth <06310> will be filled <04390> with gravel <02687>.
18Plans <04284> are established <03559> by counsel <06098>, so make <06213> war <04421> with guidance <08458>.
19The one who goes <01980> about gossiping <07400> reveals <01540> secrets <05475>; therefore do not <03808> associate <06148> with someone who is always opening his mouth <08193> <06601>.
20The one who curses <07043> his father <01> and his mother <0517>, his lamp <05216> will be extinguished <01846> in the blackest <0380> darkness <02822>.
21An inheritance <05159> gained easily <0973> in the beginning <07223> will not <03808> be blessed <01288> in the end <0319>.
22Do not <0408> say <0559>, “I will pay back <07999> evil <07451>!” Wait <06960> for the Lord <03068>, so that he may vindicate <03467> you.
23The Lord <03068> abhors <08441> differing weights <068> <068>, and dishonest <04820> scales <03976> are wicked <02896> <03808>.
24The steps <04703> of a person <01397> are ordained by the Lord <03068>– so how <04100> can anyone <0120> understand <0995> his own way <01870>?
25It is a snare <04170> for a person <0120> to rashly <03216> cry, “Holy <06944>!” and only afterward <0310> to consider <01239> what he has vowed <05088>.
26A wise <02450> king <04428> separates out <02219> the wicked <07563>; he turns <07725> the threshing wheel <0212> over <05921> them.
27The human <0120> spirit <05397> is like the lamp <05216> of the Lord <03068>, searching <02664> all <03605> his innermost parts <02315>.
28Loyal love <02617> and truth <0571> preserve <05341> a king <04428>, and his throne <03678> is upheld <05582> by loyal love <02617>.
29The glory <08597> of young men <0970> is their strength <03581>, and the splendor <01926> of old men <02205> is gray hair <07872>.
30Beatings <02250> and wounds <06482> cleanse away <04838> evil <07451>, and floggings <04347> cleanse the innermost being <02315>.
