Chapter 8

Proverbs 8 — Wisdom calls, and was beside YHWH at the founding of the world

Does not wisdom call, and understanding raise her voice?

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:

הֲלֹֽא־חָכְמָ֥ה תִקְרָ֑א וּ֝תְבוּנָ֗ה תִּתֵּ֥ן קוֹלָֽהּ׃

On the top of the heights beside the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

To know wisdom and instruction; To discern the words of understanding;

בְּרֹאשׁ־מְרוֹמִ֥ים עֲלֵי־דָ֑רֶךְ בֵּ֖ית נְתִיב֣וֹת נִצָּֽבָה׃

beside the gates, at the mouth of the town, at the entrance of the doors, she cries aloud:

To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness and justice and equity;

לְיַד־שְׁעָרִ֥ים לְפִי־קָ֑רֶת מְב֖וֹא פְתָחִ֣ים תָּרֹֽנָּה׃

To you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of human.

To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion:

אֲלֵיכֶ֣ם אִישִׁ֣ים אֶקְרָ֑א וְ֝קוֹלִ֗י אֶל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

You simple ones, understand prudence; and you fools, gain an understanding heart.

That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:

הָבִ֣ינוּ פְתָאיִ֣ם עָרְמָ֑ה וּ֝כְסִילִ֗ים הָבִ֥ינוּ לֵֽב׃

Hear, for I will speak noble things, and the opening of my lips will be right things.

To understand a proverb, and a figure, The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

שִׁ֭מְעוּ כִּֽי־נְגִידִ֣ים אֲדַבֵּ֑ר וּמִפְתַּ֥ח שְׂ֝פָתַ֗י מֵישָׁרִֽים׃

For my mouth will utter truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; [But] the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

כִּֽי־אֱ֭מֶת יֶהְגֶּ֣ה חִכִּ֑י וְתוֹעֲבַ֖ת שְׂפָתַ֣י רֶֽשַׁע׃

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them.

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

בְּצֶ֥דֶק כָּל־אִמְרֵי־פִ֑י אֵ֥ין בָּ֝הֶ֗ם נִפְתָּ֥ל וְעִקֵּֽשׁ׃

They are all straightforward to the one who understands, and right to those who find knowledge.

For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck.

כֻּלָּ֣ם נְ֭כֹחִים לַמֵּבִ֑ין וִֽ֝ישָׁרִ֗ים לְמֹ֣צְאֵי דָֽעַת׃

Take my instruction, and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.

My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not.

קְחֽוּ־מוּסָרִ֥י וְאַל־כָּ֑סֶף וְ֝דַ֗עַת מֵחָר֥וּץ נִבְחָֽר׃

For wisdom is better than rubies, and all things that may be desired cannot compare with her.

If they say, Come with us, Let us lay wait for blood; Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause;

כִּֽי־טוֹבָ֣ה חָ֭כְמָה מִפְּנִינִ֑ים וְכָל־חֲ֝פָצִ֗ים לֹ֣א יִֽשְׁווּ־בָֽהּ׃

I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find out knowledge of discretion.

Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;

אֲ‍ֽנִי־חָ֭כְמָה שָׁכַ֣נְתִּי עָרְמָ֑ה וְדַ֖עַת מְזִמּ֣וֹת אֶמְצָֽא׃

The fear of YHWH is to hate evil; pride and arrogance, and the evil way, and the perverse mouth I hate.

We shall find all precious substance; We shall fill our houses with spoil;

יִֽרְאַ֣ת יְהוָה֮ שְֽׂנֹ֫את רָ֥ע גֵּ֘אָ֤ה וְגָא֨וֹן ׀ וְדֶ֣רֶךְ רָ֭ע וּפִ֨י תַהְפֻּכ֬וֹת שָׂנֵֽאתִי׃

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding; might is mine.

Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse:

לִֽי־עֵ֭צָה וְתוּשִׁיָּ֑ה אֲנִ֥י בִ֝ינָ֗ה לִ֣י גְבוּרָֽה׃

By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just.

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:

בִּ֭י מְלָכִ֣ים יִמְלֹ֑כוּ וְ֝רוֹזְנִ֗ים יְחֹ֣קְקוּ צֶֽדֶק׃

By me princes rule, and nobles — all who judge righteously.

For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.

בִּ֭י שָׂרִ֣ים יָשֹׂ֑רוּ וּ֝נְדִיבִ֗ים כָּל־שֹׁ֥פְטֵי צֶֽדֶק׃

I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.

For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:

אֲ֭נִי אהביה [אֹהֲבַ֣י] אֵהָ֑ב וּ֝מְשַׁחֲרַ֗י יִמְצָאֻֽנְנִי׃

Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness.

And these lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.

עֹֽשֶׁר־וְכָב֥וֹד אִתִּ֑י ה֥וֹן עָ֝תֵ֗ק וּצְדָקָֽה׃

My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; It taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

ט֣וֹב פִּ֭רְיִי מֵחָר֣וּץ וּמִפָּ֑ז וּ֝תְבוּאָתִ֗י מִכֶּ֥סֶף נִבְחָֽר׃

I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice,

Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; She uttereth her voice in the broad places;

בְּאֹֽרַח־צְדָקָ֥ה אֲהַלֵּ֑ך בְּ֝ת֗וֹךְ נְתִיב֥וֹת מִשְׁפָּֽט׃

to cause those who love me to inherit substance, and I will fill their treasuries.

She crieth in the chief place of concourse; At the entrance of the gates, In the city, she uttereth her words:

לְהַנְחִ֖יל אֹהֲבַ֥י ׀ יֵ֑שׁ וְאֹצְרֹ֖תֵיהֶ֣ם אֲמַלֵּֽא׃ (פ)

YHWH created me at the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?

יְֽהוָ֗ה קָ֭נָנִי רֵאשִׁ֣ית דַּרְכּ֑וֹ קֶ֖דֶם מִפְעָלָ֣יו מֵאָֽז׃

From everlasting I was set up, from the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.

Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you.

מֵ֭עוֹלָם נִסַּ֥כְתִּי מֵרֹ֗אשׁ מִקַּדְמֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs heavy with water.

Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded;

בְּאֵין־תְּהֹמ֥וֹת חוֹלָ֑לְתִּי בְּאֵ֥ין מַ֝עְיָנ֗וֹת נִכְבַּדֵּי־מָֽיִם׃

Before the mountains were sunk, before the hills, I was brought forth,

But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof:

בְּטֶ֣רֶם הָרִ֣ים הָטְבָּ֑עוּ לִפְנֵ֖י גְבָע֣וֹת חוֹלָֽלְתִּי׃

while as yet he had not made the earth and the open fields, nor the first of the dust of the world.

I also will laugh in [the day of] your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

עַד־לֹ֣א עָ֭שָׂה אֶ֣רֶץ וְחוּצ֑וֹת וְ֝רֹ֗אשׁ עָפְר֥וֹת תֵּבֵֽל׃

When he established the skies, I was there; when he inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,

When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.

בַּהֲכִינ֣וֹ שָׁ֭מַיִם שָׁ֣ם אָ֑נִי בְּח֥וּקוֹ ח֝֗וּג עַל־פְּנֵ֥י תְהֽוֹם׃

when he made firm the clouds above, when the springs of the deep grew strong,

Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:

בְּאַמְּצ֣וֹ שְׁחָקִ֣ים מִמָּ֑עַל בַּ֝עֲז֗וֹז עִינ֥וֹת תְּהוֹם׃

when he set for the sea its boundary, that the waters should not pass beyond his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah:

בְּשׂ֘וּמ֤וֹ לַיָּ֨ם ׀ חֻקּ֗וֹ וּ֭מַיִם לֹ֣א יַֽעַבְרוּ־פִ֑יו בְּ֝חוּק֗וֹ מ֣וֹסְדֵי אָֽרֶץ׃

then I was beside him, a master workman, and I was delight day by day, rejoicing before him at all times,

They would none of my counsel; They despised all my reproof.

וָֽאֶהְיֶ֥ה אֶצְל֗וֹ אָ֫מ֥וֹן וָֽאֶהְיֶ֣ה שַׁ֭עֲשֻׁעִים י֤וֹם ׀ י֑וֹם מְשַׂחֶ֖קֶת לְפָנָ֣יו בְּכָל־עֵֽת׃

rejoicing in the inhabited world of his earth, and my delights were with the sons of human.

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices.

מְ֭שַׂחֶקֶת בְּתֵבֵ֣ל אַרְצ֑וֹ וְ֝שַׁעֲשֻׁעַ֗י אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ (פ)

And now, sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways.

For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.

וְעַתָּ֣ה בָ֭נִים שִׁמְעוּ־לִ֑י וְ֝אַשְׁרֵ֗י דְּרָכַ֥י יִשְׁמֹֽרוּ׃

Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it.

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, And shall be quiet without fear of evil.

שִׁמְע֖וּ מוּסָ֥ר וַחֲכָ֗מוּ וְאַל־תִּפְרָֽעוּ׃

Blessed is the human who listens to me, watching at my doors day by day, waiting at the posts of my doorways.

אַ֥שְֽׁרֵי אָדָם֮ שֹׁמֵ֪עַֽ֫ לִ֥י לִשְׁקֹ֣ד עַל־דַּ֭לְתֹתַי י֤וֹם ׀ י֑וֹם לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר מְזוּזֹ֥ת פְּתָחָֽי׃

For whoever finds me has found life, and obtains favor from YHWH.

כִּ֣י מֹ֭צְאִי מצאי [מָצָ֣א] חַיִּ֑ים וַיָּ֥פֶק רָ֝צ֗וֹן מֵיְהוָֽה׃

But he who misses me wrongs his own life; all who hate me love death.

וְֽ֭חֹטְאִי חֹמֵ֣ס נַפְשׁ֑וֹ כָּל־מְ֝שַׂנְאַ֗י אָ֣הֲבוּ מָֽוֶת׃ (פ)

Chapter 10

Proverbs 10 — The proverbs of Solomon begin: the righteous and the wicked

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;

מִשְׁלֵ֗י שְׁלֹ֫מֹ֥ה (פ) בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם יְשַׂמַּח־אָ֑ב וּבֵ֥ן כְּ֝סִ֗יל תּוּגַ֥ת אִמּֽוֹ׃

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.

So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;

לֹא־י֭וֹעִילוּ אוֹצְר֣וֹת רֶ֑שַׁע וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה תַּצִּ֥יל מִמָּֽוֶת׃

YHWH will not let the soul of the righteous go hungry, but he thrusts away the craving of the wicked.

Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;

לֹֽא־יַרְעִ֣יב יְ֭הוָה נֶ֣פֶשׁ צַדִּ֑יק וְהַוַּ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים יֶהְדֹּֽף׃

Poor is the one who works with a slack hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:

רָ֗אשׁ עֹשֶׂ֥ה כַף־רְמִיָּ֑ה וְיַ֖ד חָרוּצִ֣ים תַּעֲשִֽׁיר׃

He who gathers in summer is a prudent son; he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.

Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.

אֹגֵ֣ר בַּ֭קַּיִץ בֵּ֣ן מַשְׂכִּ֑יל נִרְדָּ֥ם בַּ֝קָּצִ֗יר בֵּ֣ן מֵבִֽישׁ׃

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding:

בְּ֭רָכוֹת לְרֹ֣אשׁ צַדִּ֑יק וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יְכַסֶּ֥ה חָמָֽס׃

The memory of the righteous is for a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.

He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; [He is] a shield to them that walk in integrity;

זֵ֣כֶר צַ֭דִּיק לִבְרָכָ֑ה וְשֵׁ֖ם רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִרְקָֽב׃

The wise in heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will fall.

That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.

חֲכַם־לֵ֭ב יִקַּ֣ח מִצְוֺ֑ת וֶאֱוִ֥יל שְׂ֝פָתַ֗יִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃

He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.

Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, And equity, [yea], every good path.

הוֹלֵ֣ךְ בַּ֭תֹּם יֵ֣לֶךְ בֶּ֑טַח וּמְעַקֵּ֥שׁ דְּ֝רָכָ֗יו יִוָּדֵֽעַ׃

He who winks the eye causes sorrow, and a babbling fool will fall.

For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;

קֹ֣רֵֽץ עַ֭יִן יִתֵּ֣ן עַצָּ֑בֶת וֶאֱוִ֥יל שְׂ֝פָתַ֗יִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Discretion shall watch over thee; Understanding shall keep thee:

מְק֣וֹר חַ֭יִּים פִּ֣י צַדִּ֑יק וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יְכַסֶּ֥ה חָמָֽס׃

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions.

To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things;

שִׂ֭נְאָה תְּעוֹרֵ֣ר מְדָנִ֑ים וְעַ֥ל כָּל־פְּ֝שָׁעִ֗ים תְּכַסֶּ֥ה אַהֲבָֽה׃

On the lips of the one who has discernment wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of the one who is void of understanding.

Who forsake the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;

בְּשִׂפְתֵ֣י נָ֭בוֹן תִּמָּצֵ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝שֵׁ֗בֶט לְגֵ֣ו חֲסַר־לֵֽב׃

The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of the fool is a ruin close at hand.

Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil;

חֲכָמִ֥ים יִצְפְּנוּ־דָ֑עַת וּפִֽי־אֱ֝וִיל מְחִתָּ֥ה קְרֹבָֽה׃

The wealth of the rich is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.

Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:

ה֣וֹן עָ֭שִׁיר קִרְיַ֣ת עֻזּ֑וֹ מְחִתַּ֖ת דַּלִּ֣ים רֵישָֽׁם׃

The wage of the righteous is for life; the income of the wicked is for sin.

To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;

פְּעֻלַּ֣ת צַדִּ֣יק לְחַיִּ֑ים תְּבוּאַ֖ת רָשָׁ֣ע לְחַטָּֽאת׃

He who heeds instruction is on the way to life, but he who forsakes reproof goes astray.

That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

אֹ֣רַח לְ֭חַיִּים שׁוֹמֵ֣ר מוּסָ֑ר וְעוֹזֵ֖ב תּוֹכַ֣חַת מַתְעֶֽה׃

He who hides hatred has lying lips, and he who utters slander is a fool.

For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead;

מְכַסֶּ֣ה שִׂ֭נְאָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁ֑קֶר וּמוֹצִ֥א דִ֝בָּ֗ה ה֣וּא כְסִֽיל׃

In the multitude of words transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.

None that go unto her return again, Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:

בְּרֹ֣ב דְּ֭בָרִים לֹ֣א יֶחְדַּל־פָּ֑שַׁע וְחֹשֵׂ֖ךְ שְׂפָתָ֣יו מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃

The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the heart of the wicked is worth little.

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous.

כֶּ֣סֶף נִ֭בְחָר לְשׁ֣וֹן צַדִּ֑יק לֵ֖ב רְשָׁעִ֣ים כִּמְעָֽט׃

The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of understanding.

For the upright shall dwell in the land, And the perfect shall remain in it.

שִׂפְתֵ֣י צַ֭דִּיק יִרְע֣וּ רַבִּ֑ים וֶֽ֝אֱוִילִ֗ים בַּחֲסַר־לֵ֥ב יָמֽוּתוּ׃

The blessing of YHWH — it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.

בִּרְכַּ֣ת יְ֭הוָה הִ֣יא תַעֲשִׁ֑יר וְלֹֽא־יוֹסִ֖ף עֶ֣צֶב עִמָּֽהּ׃

Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool, and wisdom is so to a man of understanding.

כִּשְׂח֣וֹק לִ֭כְסִיל עֲשׂ֣וֹת זִמָּ֑ה וְ֝חָכְמָ֗ה לְאִ֣ישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה׃

What the wicked dreads, that will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

מְגוֹרַ֣ת רָ֭שָׁע הִ֣יא תְבוֹאֶ֑נּוּ וְתַאֲוַ֖ת צַדִּיקִ֣ים יִתֵּֽן׃

When the storm passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

כַּעֲב֣וֹר ס֭וּפָה וְאֵ֣ין רָשָׁ֑ע וְ֝צַדִּ֗יק יְס֣וֹד עוֹלָֽם׃

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.

כַּחֹ֤מֶץ ׀ לַשִּׁנַּ֗יִם וְכֶעָשָׁ֥ן לָעֵינָ֑יִם כֵּ֥ן הֶ֝עָצֵ֗ל לְשֹׁלְחָֽיו׃

The fear of YHWH adds days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened.

יִרְאַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה תּוֹסִ֣יף יָמִ֑ים וּשְׁנ֖וֹת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּקְצֹֽרְנָה׃

The hope of the righteous is gladness, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.

תּוֹחֶ֣לֶת צַדִּיקִ֣ים שִׂמְחָ֑ה וְתִקְוַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃

The way of YHWH is a stronghold to the blameless, but ruin to the workers of iniquity.

מָע֣וֹז לַ֭תֹּם דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝מְחִתָּ֗ה לְפֹ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

The righteous will never be moved, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.

צַדִּ֣יק לְעוֹלָ֣ם בַּל־יִמּ֑וֹט וּ֝רְשָׁעִ֗ים לֹ֣א יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָֽרֶץ׃

The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

פִּֽי־צַ֭דִּיק יָנ֣וּב חָכְמָ֑ה וּלְשׁ֥וֹן תַּ֝הְפֻּכ֗וֹת תִּכָּרֵֽת׃

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, perverseness.

שִׂפְתֵ֣י צַ֭דִּיק יֵדְע֣וּן רָצ֑וֹן וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים תַּהְפֻּכֽוֹת׃
