Better a poor man of honest life
than a false man, for all his wealth.
2It is no use to act before you think:
to be hasty is to miss the mark.
3A man’s own folly ruins his affairs--
then he gets angry with the Eternal!
5A dishonest witness shall not go unpunished:
he who tells lies shall not escape.
4Wealth brings many a friend
but a poor man’s only friend will leave him.
6Many pay court to a bountiful man:
all are friends of a man who gives presents.
7If all a poor man’s kindred hate him,
how much more will his friends hold aloof?
8He who grows wise is a friend to himself;
he who understands life will fare well.
9A dishonest witness shall not go unpunished;
he who tells lies shall perish.
10Luxury is not fitting for a fool,
much less for a slave to lord it over nobles.
11A man’s prudence will make him slow to take offence;
to pass over an offence is his glory.
12The anger of a king is like a lion’s roar;
his favour is like dew on grass.
13A senseless son is a calamity to his father,
and the nagging of a wife is an endless dripping.
14House and riches a man inherits from his father
but a sensible wife comes from the Eternal.
15Laziness ends in a deep sleep;
an idle man shall be hungry.
16He who obeys the law of God safeguards his life
a man careless of God will die.
17He who cares for the poor is lending to the Eternal,
and for his kindness he shall be repaid.
18Chastise your son, while there is still hope of him
and do not let him run to ruin.
19A man who is fined is furious,
but, even if you pay for him, you will have to pay again.
20Listen to counsel and take advice,
that you may manage your life wisely.
21Man thinks out many a plan
but ’tis the Eternal’s purpose that prevails.
22Friendliness bears fruit for a man:
better be poor and good than false.
23Reverence for the Eternal is the way to life;
content with that, one never comes to harm.
24The lazy man drops his hand deep in the dish
he will not so much as lift it to his lips.
25Beat a scoffer--and you teach fools a lesson:
a man of sense needs only a reproof.
26He who ill-treats his father and expels his mothe
is a vile, despicable son.
27Cease not, my son, to listen to instruction,
and never turn away from a wise teacher.
28A rascal of a witness scoffs at justice,
and perjury pours from a scoundrel’s lips.
29Punishment is prepared for scoffers,
and the lash for the back of a fool
