This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
19 It’s better to walk with integrity,
^ than to be a foolish person with perverse speech.
2 What’s more, a person without knowledge isn’t good,
and anyone who shifts their feet quickly, misses their way.
3 A person’s foolishness subverts their course,
→ then their mind rages against Yahweh.
^ but the poor friend ends up being isolated.
5 A false witness won’t go unpunished,
≈ and the one who tells lies, won’t escape the consequences.
6 Many people make requests to a generous leader,
≈ and everyone is the friend of the person who gives gifts.
7 All the relatives of a poor person hates them,
→ so how much more do their friends avoid them.
The poor person sends messages after them, but they’re no longer around.
8 Anyone who acquires integrity, loves their own life.
≈ The one who preserves understanding will find success.
9 A lying witness won’t go unpunished,
≈ and the one who tells lies will die.
10 Luxury is not suitable for a fool—
≈ even worse for a slave to rule over princes.
11 A person’s insight makes them slow to anger,
≈ and it’s their privilege to overlook an offense.
12 The king’s rage is like a lion’s roar,
^ but his favour is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish child leads to their father’s destruction,
≈ and an argumentative wife is like something constantly dripping.
14 Houses and wealth are an inheritance from your parents,
→ but a sensible wife is from Yahweh.
15 Laziness makes a person fall into a deep sleep,
≈ and a slack person will go hungry.
16 The ones who obey Yahweh’s instructions will preserve their lives.
^ Anyone who despises his ways, will die.
17 Someone who’s kind to a poor person is lending to Yahweh,
→ and he will repay for the good deed.
18 Discipline your child because that gives hope,
^ but don’t think about their death.
19 People who get very angry will end up paying a fine,
→ because if you rescue them, you’ll have to do it again and again.
20 Listen to advise and accept correction
→ so that you’ll become wise for your life ahead.
21 People make many plans in their minds,
^ but Yahweh’s advice will endure time.
22 People desire loyal commitment from others,
≈ and it’s better to have a poor friend than one who lies.
23 Respecting and honouring Yahweh leads to life,
→ and that person will have peaceful nights without trouble arriving.
24 The lazy person hides their hands in the dish—
→ not even troubling to lift it to their mouth.
25 Beat a mocker then that simple one will become sensible,
≈ and correct an intelligent person and they’ll know even more.
26 Children who assault their fathers and drive away their mothers
27 My child, if you want to stray from knowledge,
→ stop listening to correction.
28 A worthless witness makes a mockery of justice,
and the mouth of the wicked person gulps in more wickedness.
29 Judgements are prepared for scoffers,
≈ and beatings for the backs of fools.
