NASB Parallel HEB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995Hebrew Study Bible
1Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid.1אֹהֵ֣ב מ֭וּסָר‪‬ אֹ֣הֵֽב דָּ֑עַת וְשֹׂנֵ֖א תוֹכַ֣חַת בָּֽעַר׃
2A good man will obtain favor from the LORD, But He will condemn a man who devises evil.2ט֗וֹב יָפִ֣יק רָ֭צוֹן מֵיְהוָ֑ה וְאִ֖ישׁ מְזִמּ֣וֹת יַרְשִֽׁיעַ׃
3A man will not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous will not be moved.3לֹא־ יִכּ֣וֹן אָדָ֣ם בְּרֶ֑שַׁע וְשֹׁ֥רֶשׁ צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים בַּל־ יִמּֽוֹט׃
4An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.4אֵֽשֶׁת־ חַ֭יִל עֲטֶ֣רֶת בַּעְלָ֑הּ וּכְרָקָ֖ב בְּעַצְמוֹתָ֣יו מְבִישָֽׁה׃
5The thoughts of the righteous are just, But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.5מַחְשְׁב֣וֹת צַדִּיקִ֣ים מִשְׁפָּ֑ט תַּחְבֻּל֖וֹת רְשָׁעִ֣ים מִרְמָֽה׃
6The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.6דִּבְרֵ֣י רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֱרָב־ דָּ֑ם וּפִ֥י יְ֝שָׁרִ֗ים יַצִּילֵֽם׃
7The wicked are overthrown and are no more, But the house of the righteous will stand.7הָפ֣וֹךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים וְאֵינָ֑ם וּבֵ֖ית צַדִּיקִ֣ים יַעֲמֹֽד׃
8A man will be praised according to his insight, But one of perverse mind will be despised.8לְֽפִי־ שִׂ֭כְלוֹ יְהֻלַּל־ אִ֑ישׁ וְנַעֲוֵה־ לֵ֝֗ב יִהְיֶ֥ה לָבֽוּז׃
9Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant Than he who honors himself and lacks bread.9ט֣וֹב נִ֭קְלֶה וְעֶ֣בֶד ל֑וֹ מִ֝מְּתַכַּבֵּ֗ד וַחֲסַר־ לָֽחֶם׃
10A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal, But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.10יוֹדֵ֣עַ צַ֭דִּיק נֶ֣פֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתּ֑וֹ וְֽרַחֲמֵ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים אַכְזָרִֽי׃
11He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.11עֹבֵ֣ד אַ֭דְמָתוֹ יִֽשְׂבַּֽע־ לָ֑חֶם וּמְרַדֵּ֖ף רֵיקִ֣ים חֲסַר־ לֵֽב׃
12The wicked man desires the booty of evil men, But the root of the righteous yields fruit.12חָמַ֣ד רָ֭שָׁע מְצ֣וֹד רָעִ֑ים וְשֹׁ֖רֶשׁ צַדִּיקִ֣ים יִתֵּֽן׃
13An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will escape from trouble.13בְּפֶ֣שַׁע שְׂ֭פָתַיִם מוֹקֵ֣שׁ רָ֑ע וַיֵּצֵ֖א מִצָּרָ֣ה צַדִּֽיק׃
14A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words, And the deeds of a man's hands will return to him.14מִפְּרִ֣י פִי־ אִ֭ישׁ יִשְׂבַּע־ ט֑וֹב וּגְמ֥וּל יְדֵי־ אָ֝דָ֗ם [ישוב] (יָשִׁ֥יב) לֽוֹ׃
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.15דֶּ֣רֶךְ אֱ֭וִיל יָשָׁ֣ר בְּעֵינָ֑יו וְשֹׁמֵ֖עַ לְעֵצָ֣ה חָכָֽם׃
16A fool's anger is known at once, But a prudent man conceals dishonor.16אֱוִ֗יל בַּ֭יּוֹם יִוָּדַ֣ע כַּעְס֑וֹ וְכֹסֶ֖ה קָל֣וֹן עָרֽוּם׃
17He who speaks truth tells what is right, But a false witness, deceit.17יָפִ֣יחַ אֱ֭מוּנָה יַגִּ֣יד צֶ֑דֶק וְעֵ֖ד שְׁקָרִ֣ים מִרְמָֽה׃
18There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing.18יֵ֣שׁ בּ֭וֹטֶה כְּמַדְקְר֣וֹת חָ֑רֶב וּלְשׁ֖וֹן חֲכָמִ֣ים מַרְפֵּֽא׃
19Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment.19שְֽׂפַת־ אֱ֭מֶת תִּכּ֣וֹן לָעַ֑ד וְעַד־ אַ֝רְגִּ֗יעָה לְשׁ֣וֹן שָֽׁקֶר׃
20Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy.20מִ֭רְמָה בְּלֶב־ חֹ֣רְשֵׁי רָ֑ע וּֽלְיֹעֲצֵ֖י שָׁל֣וֹם שִׂמְחָֽה׃
21No harm befalls the righteous, But the wicked are filled with trouble.21לֹא־ יְאֻנֶּ֣ה לַצַּדִּ֣יק כָּל־ אָ֑וֶן וּ֝רְשָׁעִ֗ים מָ֣לְאוּ רָֽע׃
22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, But those who deal faithfully are His delight.22תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה שִׂפְתֵי־ שָׁ֑קֶר וְעֹשֵׂ֖י אֱמוּנָ֣ה רְצוֹנֽוֹ׃
23A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims folly.23אָדָ֣ם עָ֭רוּם כֹּ֣סֶה דָּ֑עַת וְלֵ֥ב כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים יִקְרָ֥א אִוֶּֽלֶת׃
24The hand of the diligent will rule, But the slack hand will be put to forced labor.24יַד־ חָרוּצִ֥ים תִּמְשׁ֑וֹל ו֝רְמִיָּ֗ה‪‬‪‬ תִּהְיֶ֥ה לָמַֽס׃
25Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, But a good word makes it glad.25דְּאָגָ֣ה בְלֶב־ אִ֣ישׁ יַשְׁחֶ֑נָּה וְדָבָ֖ר ט֣וֹב יְשַׂמְּחֶֽנָּה׃
26The righteous is a guide to his neighbor, But the way of the wicked leads them astray.26יָתֵ֣ר מֵרֵעֵ֣הוּ צַדִּ֑יק וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תַּתְעֵֽם׃
27A lazy man does not roast his prey, But the precious possession of a man is diligence.27לֹא־ יַחֲרֹ֣ךְ רְמִיָּ֣ה צֵיד֑וֹ וְהוֹן־ אָדָ֖ם יָקָ֣ר חָרֽוּץ׃
28In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.28בְּאֹֽרַח־ צְדָקָ֥ה חַיִּ֑ים וְדֶ֖רֶךְ נְתִיבָ֣ה אַל־ מָֽוֶת׃‪‬
