And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit, I make known my words with you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending, 25 And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired. 26 I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh, 27 When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress. 28 Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not. 29 Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen. 30 They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof, 31 And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled. 32 For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them. 33 And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And `is' quiet from fear of evil!'
  • Prov 27:1-28:28 : 1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow, For thou knowest not what a day bringeth forth. 2 Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth, A stranger, and not thine own lips. 3 A stone `is' heavy, and the sand `is' heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than they both. 4 Fury `is' fierce, and anger `is' overflowing, And who standeth before jealousy? 5 Better `is' open reproof than hidden love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a lover, And abundant the kisses of an enemy. 7 A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And `to' a hungry soul every bitter thing `is' sweet. 8 As a bird wandering from her nest, So `is' a man wandering from his place. 9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one's friend -- from counsel of the soul. 10 Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better `is' a near neighbour than a brother afar off. 11 Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart. And I return my reproacher a word. 12 The prudent hath seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple have passed on, they are punished. 13 Take his garment, when a stranger hath been surety, And for a strange woman pledge it. 14 Whoso is saluting his friend with a loud voice, In the morning rising early, A light thing it is reckoned to him. 15 A continual dropping in a day of rain, And a woman of contentions are alike, 16 Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calleth out. 17 Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. 18 The keeper of a fig-tree eateth its fruit, And the preserver of his master is honoured. 19 As `in' water the face `is' to face, So the heart of man to man. 20 Sheol and destruction are not satisfied, And the eyes of man are not satisfied. 21 A refining pot `is' for silver, and a furnace for gold, And a man according to his praise. 22 If thou dost beat the foolish in a mortar, Among washed things -- with a pestle, His folly turneth not aside from off him. 23 Know well the face of thy flock, Set thy heart to the droves, 24 For riches `are' not to the age, Nor a crown to generation and generation. 25 Revealed was the hay, and seen the tender grass, And gathered the herbs of mountains. 26 Lambs `are' for thy clothing, And the price of the field `are' he-goats, 27 And a sufficiency of goats' milk `is' for thy bread, For bread to thy house, and life to thy damsels! 1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident. 2 By the transgression of a land many `are' its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right -- it is prolonged. 3 A man -- poor and oppressing the weak, `Is' a sweeping rain, and there is no bread. 4 Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them. 5 Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all. 6 Better `is' the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich. 7 Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush. 8 Whoso is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, For one favouring the poor doth gather it. 9 Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer `is' an abomination. 10 Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good. 11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searcheth him. 12 In the exulting of the righteous the glory `is' abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive. 13 Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy. 14 O the happiness of a man fearing continually, And whoso is hardening his heart falleth into evil. 15 A growling lion, and a ranging bear, `Is' the wicked ruler over a poor people. 16 A leader lacking understanding multiplieth oppressions, Whoso is hating dishonest gain prolongeth days. 17 A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Unto the pit fleeth, none taketh hold on him. 18 Whoso is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falleth at once. 19 Whoso is tilling his ground is satisfied `with' bread, And whoso is pursuing vanity, Is filled `with' poverty. 20 A stedfast man hath multiplied blessings, And whoso is hasting to be rich is not acquitted. 21 To discern faces is not good, And for a piece of bread doth a man transgress. 22 Troubled for wealth `is' the man `with' an evil eye, And he knoweth not that want doth meet him. 23 Whoso is reproving a man afterwards findeth grace, More than a flatterer with the tongue. 24 Whoso is robbing his father, or his mother, And is saying, `It is not transgression,' A companion he is to a destroyer. 25 Whoso is proud in soul stirreth up contention, And whoso is trusting on Jehovah is made fat. 26 Whoso is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoso is walking in wisdom is delivered. 27 Whoso is giving to the poor hath no lack, And whoso is hiding his eyes multiplied curses. 28 In the rising of the wicked a man is hidden, And in their destruction the righteous multiply!
