Wealth and poverty

1
Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, || Than the perverse [in] his lips—who [is] a fool.
2
Also, without knowledge the soul [is] not good, || And the hasty in feet is sinning.
3
The folly of man perverts his way, || And his heart is angry against YHWH.
4
Wealth adds many friends, || And the poor is separated from his neighbor.
5
A false witness is not acquitted, || Whoever breathes out lies is not delivered.
6
Many beg the face of the noble, || And all have made friendship to a man of gifts.
7
All the brothers of the poor have hated him, || Surely his friends have also been far from him, || He is pursuing words—they are not!
8
Whoever is getting heart is loving his soul, || He is keeping understanding to find good.
9
A false witness is not acquitted, || And whoever breathes out lies perishes.
10
Luxury is not fitting for a fool, || Much less for a servant to rule among princes.
11
The wisdom of a man has deferred his anger, || And his glory [is] to pass over transgression.
12
The wrath of a king [is] a growl as of a young lion, || And his goodwill as dew on the herb.
13
A foolish son [is] a calamity to his father, || And the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
14
House and wealth [are] the inheritance of fathers, || And an understanding wife [is] from YHWH.
15
Sloth causes deep sleep to fall, || And an indolent soul hungers.
16
Whoever is keeping the command is keeping his soul, || Whoever is despising His ways dies.
17
Whoever is lending [to] YHWH is favoring the poor, || And He repays his deed to him.

Advice and counsel

18
Discipline your son, for there is hope, || And do not lift up your soul to put him to death.
19
A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, || For if you deliver, yet again you add.
20
Hear counsel and receive instruction, || So that you are wise in your latter end.
21
The purposes in a man’s heart [are] many, || And the counsel of YHWH—it stands.
22
The desirableness of a man [is] his kindness, || And the poor [is] better than a liar.
23
The fear of YHWH [is] to life, || And he remains satisfied—he is not charged with evil.
24
The slothful has hidden his hand in a dish, || Even to his mouth he does not bring it back.
25
Strike a scorner, and the simple acts prudently, || And give reproof to the intelligent, || He understands knowledge.
26
Whoever is spoiling a father causes a mother to flee, || A son causing shame, and bringing confusion.
27
Cease, my son, to hear instruction—To err from sayings of knowledge.
28
A worthless witness scorns judgment, || And the mouth of the wicked swallows iniquity.
29
Judgments have been prepared for scorners, || And stripes for the back of fools!

Wealth and poverty

1
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
2
It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way.
3
The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against the LORD.
4
Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
5
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
6
Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
7
All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
8
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
9
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
10
Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
12
The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13
A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
14
House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15
Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16
He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
17
He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; he will reward him.

Advice and counsel

18
Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.
19
A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
20
Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
21
There are many plans in a man’s heart, but the LORD’s counsel will prevail.
22
That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
23
The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
24
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25
Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
26
He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
27
If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28
A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
29
Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
