| 1 זְב֣וּבֵי מָ֔וֶת [2] Zaqef יַבְאִ֥ישׁ יַבִּ֖יעַ [2] Tip'cha שֶׁ֣מֶן רוֹקֵ֑חַ [1] Etnachta מֵחׇכְמָ֥ה מִכָּב֖וֹד [2] Tip'cha סִכְל֥וּת מְעָֽט׃ [1] Silluq |
1 Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor. [2] |
|||
| 2 לֵ֤ב חָכָם֙ [3] Pashta לִֽימִינ֔וֹ [2] Zaqef לִשְׂמֹאלֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq |
2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left. [3] |
|||
| 3 וְגַם־בַּדֶּ֛רֶךְ [3] Tevir *כשהסכל **כְּשֶׁסָּכָ֥ל הֹלֵ֖ךְ [2] Tip'cha לִבּ֣וֹ חָסֵ֑ר [1] Etnachta סָכָ֥ל הֽוּא׃ [1] Silluq |
3 Yes also when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool. [3] |
|||
| 4 אִם־ר֤וּחַ הַמּוֹשֵׁל֙ [3] Pashta תַּעֲלֶ֣ה עָלֶ֔יךָ [2] Zaqef אַל־תַּנַּ֑ח [1] Etnachta יַנִּ֖יחַ [2] Tip'cha חֲטָאִ֥ים גְּדוֹלִֽים׃ [1] Silluq |
4 If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest. ¶ [3] |
|||
| 5 יֵ֣שׁ רָעָ֔ה [2] Zaqef רָאִ֖יתִי [2] Tip'cha תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ [1] Etnachta שֶׁיֹּצָ֖א [2] Tip'cha מִלִּפְנֵ֥י הַשַּׁלִּֽיט׃ [1] Silluq |
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler. [2] |
|||
| 6 נִתַּ֣ן הַסֶּ֔כֶל [2] Zaqef בַּמְּרוֹמִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha רַבִּ֑ים [1] Etnachta בַּשֵּׁ֥פֶל יֵשֵֽׁבוּ׃ [1] Silluq |
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place. [2] |
|||
| 7 רָאִ֥יתִי עֲבָדִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha עַל־סוּסִ֑ים [1] Etnachta הֹלְכִ֥ים כַּעֲבָדִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ [1] Silluq |
7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants on the earth. [2] |
|||
| 8 חֹפֵ֥ר גּוּמָּ֖ץ [2] Tip'cha בּ֣וֹ יִפּ֑וֹל [1] Etnachta יִשְּׁכֶ֥נּוּ נָחָֽשׁ׃ [1] Silluq |
8 He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake. [2] |
|||
| 9 מַסִּ֣יעַ אֲבָנִ֔ים [2] Zaqef יֵעָצֵ֖ב [2] Tip'cha בָּהֶ֑ם [1] Etnachta יִסָּ֥כֶן בָּֽם׃ [1] Silluq |
9 Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered by it. [2] |
|||
| 10 אִם־קֵהָ֣ה הַבַּרְזֶ֗ל [3] Revi'i וְהוּא֙ [3] Pashta לֹא־פָנִ֣ים קִלְקַ֔ל [2] Zaqef יְגַבֵּ֑ר [1] Etnachta חׇכְמָֽה׃ [1] Silluq |
10 If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success. ¶ [3] |
|||
| 11 אִם־יִשֹּׁ֥ךְ הַנָּחָ֖שׁ [2] Tip'cha בְּלוֹא־לָ֑חַשׁ [1] Etnachta לְבַ֖עַל [2] Tip'cha הַלָּשֽׁוֹן׃ [1] Silluq |
11 If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue. [2] |
|||
| 12 דִּבְרֵ֥י פִי־חָכָ֖ם [2] Tip'cha חֵ֑ן [1] Etnachta תְּבַלְּעֶֽנּוּ׃ [1] Silluq |
12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips. [2] |
|||
| 13 תְּחִלַּ֥ת דִּבְרֵי־פִ֖יהוּ [2] Tip'cha סִכְל֑וּת [1] Etnachta הוֹלֵל֖וּת [2] Tip'cha רָעָֽה׃ [1] Silluq |
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. [2] |
|||
| 14 וְהַסָּכָ֖ל [2] Tip'cha יַרְבֶּ֣ה דְבָרִ֑ים [1] Etnachta מַה־שֶּׁיִּֽהְיֶ֔ה [2] Zaqef מֵֽאַחֲרָ֔יו [2] Zaqef יַגִּ֥יד לֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq |
14 A fool also multiplies words. ¶Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him? [2] |
|||
| 15 עֲמַ֥ל הַכְּסִילִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha תְּיַגְּעֶ֑נּוּ [1] Etnachta לָלֶ֥כֶת אֶל־עִֽיר׃ [1] Silluq |
15 The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city. [2] |
|||
| 16 אִֽי־לָ֣ךְ אֶ֔רֶץ [2] Zaqef שֶׁמַּלְכֵּ֖ךְ [2] Tip'cha נָ֑עַר [1] Etnachta בַּבֹּ֥קֶר יֹאכֵֽלוּ׃ [1] Silluq |
16 Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning! [2] |
|||
| 17 אַשְׁרֵ֣יךְ אֶ֔רֶץ [2] Zaqef שֶׁמַּלְכֵּ֖ךְ [2] Tip'cha בֶּן־חוֹרִ֑ים [1] Etnachta בָּעֵ֣ת יֹאכֵ֔לוּ [2] Zaqef וְלֹ֥א בַשְּׁתִֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
17 Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! [2] |
|||
| 18 בַּעֲצַלְתַּ֖יִם [2] Tip'cha יִמַּ֣ךְ הַמְּקָרֶ֑ה [1] Etnachta יִדְלֹ֥ף הַבָּֽיִת׃ [1] Silluq |
18 By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks. [2] |
|||
| 19 לִשְׂחוֹק֙ [3] Pashta עֹשִׂ֣ים לֶ֔חֶם [2] Zaqef יְשַׂמַּ֣ח חַיִּ֑ים [1] Etnachta יַעֲנֶ֥ה אֶת־הַכֹּֽל׃ [1] Silluq |
19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things. [3] |
|||
| 20 גַּ֣ם בְּמַדָּֽעֲךָ֗ [3] Revi'i מֶ֚לֶךְ [3] Yetiv אַל־תְּקַלֵּ֔ל [2] Zaqef מִשְׁכָּ֣בְךָ֔ [2] Zaqef עָשִׁ֑יר [1] Etnachta יוֹלִ֣יךְ אֶת־הַקּ֔וֹל [2] Zaqef יַגֵּ֥יד דָּבָֽר׃ [1] Silluq |
20 Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom: for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter. ¶ [3] |
