Proverbs 12

1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
1 ‫אֹהֵ֣ב מ֭וּסָר אֹ֣הֵֽב דָּ֑עַת וְשֹׂנֵ֖א תוֹכַ֣חַת בָּֽעַר׃ ‬
2 A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
2 ‫ט֗וֹב יָפִ֣יק רָ֭צוֹן מֵיְהוָ֑ה וְאִ֖ישׁ מְזִמּ֣וֹת יַרְשִֽׁיעַ׃ ‬
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
3 ‫לֹא־יִכּ֣וֹן אָדָ֣ם בְּרֶ֑שַׁע וְשֹׁ֥רֶשׁ צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים בַּל־יִמּֽוֹט׃ ‬
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
4 ‫אֵֽשֶׁת־חַ֭יִל עֲטֶ֣רֶת בַּעְלָ֑הּ וּכְרָקָ֖ב בְּעַצְמוֹתָ֣יו מְבִישָֽׁה׃ ‬
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
5 ‫מַחְשְׁב֣וֹת צַדִּיקִ֣ים מִשְׁפָּ֑ט תַּחְבֻּל֖וֹת רְשָׁעִ֣ים מִרְמָֽה׃ ‬
6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
6 ‫דִּבְרֵ֣י רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֱרָב־דָּ֑ם וּפִ֥י יְ֝שָׁרִ֗ים יַצִּילֵֽם׃ ‬
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
7 ‫הָפ֣וֹךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים וְאֵינָ֑ם וּבֵ֖ית צַדִּיקִ֣ים יַעֲמֹֽד׃ ‬
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
8 ‫לְֽפִי־שִׂ֭כְלוֹ יְהֻלַּל־אִ֑ישׁ וְנַעֲוֵה־לֵ֝֗ב יִהְיֶ֥ה לָבֽוּז׃ ‬
9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
9 ‫ט֣וֹב נִ֭קְלֶה וְעֶ֣בֶד ל֑וֹ מִ֝מְּתַכַּבֵּ֗ד וַחֲסַר־לָֽחֶם׃ ‬
10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
10 ‫יוֹדֵ֣עַ צַ֭דִּיק נֶ֣פֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתּ֑וֹ וְֽרַחֲמֵ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים אַכְזָרִֽי׃ ‬
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
11 ‫עֹבֵ֣ד אַ֭דְמָתוֹ יִֽשְׂבַּֽע־לָ֑חֶם וּמְרַדֵּ֖ף רֵיקִ֣ים חֲסַר־לֵֽב׃ ‬
12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
12 ‫חָמַ֣ד רָ֭שָׁע מְצ֣וֹד רָעִ֑ים וְשֹׁ֖רֶשׁ צַדִּיקִ֣ים יִתֵּֽן׃ ‬
13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
13 ‫בְּפֶ֣שַׁע שְׂ֭פָתַיִם מוֹקֵ֣שׁ רָ֑ע וַיֵּצֵ֖א מִצָּרָ֣ה צַדִּֽיק׃ ‬
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
14 ‫מִפְּרִ֣י פִי־אִ֭ישׁ יִשְׂבַּע־ט֑וֹב וּגְמ֥וּל יְדֵי־אָ֝דָ֗ם *ישוב **יָשִׁ֥יב לֽוֹ׃ ‬
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
15 ‫דֶּ֣רֶךְ אֱ֭וִיל יָשָׁ֣ר בְּעֵינָ֑יו וְשֹׁמֵ֖עַ לְעֵצָ֣ה חָכָֽם׃ ‬
16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
16 ‫אֱוִ֗יל בַּ֭יּוֹם יִוָּדַ֣ע כַּעְס֑וֹ וְכֹסֶ֖ה קָל֣וֹן עָרֽוּם׃ ‬
17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
17 ‫יָפִ֣יחַ אֱ֭מוּנָה יַגִּ֣יד צֶ֑דֶק וְעֵ֖ד שְׁקָרִ֣ים מִרְמָֽה׃ ‬
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
18 ‫יֵ֣שׁ בּ֭וֹטֶה כְּמַדְקְר֣וֹת חָ֑רֶב וּלְשׁ֖וֹן חֲכָמִ֣ים מַרְפֵּֽא׃ ‬
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
19 ‫שְֽׂפַת־אֱ֭מֶת תִּכּ֣וֹן לָעַ֑ד וְעַד־אַ֝רְגִּ֗יעָה לְשׁ֣וֹן שָֽׁקֶר׃ ‬
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
20 ‫מִ֭רְמָה בְּלֶב־חֹ֣רְשֵׁי רָ֑ע וּֽלְיֹעֲצֵ֖י שָׁל֣וֹם שִׂמְחָֽה׃ ‬
21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
21 ‫לֹא־יְאֻנֶּ֣ה לַצַּדִּ֣יק כָּל־אָ֑וֶן וּ֝רְשָׁעִ֗ים מָ֣לְאוּ רָֽע׃ ‬
22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
22 ‫תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁ֑קֶר וְעֹשֵׂ֖י אֱמוּנָ֣ה רְצוֹנֽוֹ׃ ‬
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
23 ‫אָדָ֣ם עָ֭רוּם כֹּ֣סֶה דָּ֑עַת וְלֵ֥ב כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים יִקְרָ֥א אִוֶּֽלֶת׃ ‬
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
24 ‫יַד־חָרוּצִ֥ים תִּמְשׁ֑וֹל ו֝רְמִיָּ֗ה תִּהְיֶ֥ה לָמַֽס׃ ‬
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
25 ‫דְּאָגָ֣ה בְלֶב־אִ֣ישׁ יַשְׁחֶ֑נָּה וְדָבָ֖ר ט֣וֹב יְשַׂמְּחֶֽנָּה׃ ‬
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
26 ‫יָתֵ֣ר מֵרֵעֵ֣הוּ צַדִּ֑יק וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תַּתְעֵֽם׃ ‬
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
27 ‫לֹא־יַחֲרֹ֣ךְ רְמִיָּ֣ה צֵיד֑וֹ וְהוֹן־אָדָ֖ם יָקָ֣ר חָרֽוּץ׃ ‬
28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
28 ‫בְּאֹֽרַח־צְדָקָ֥ה חַיִּ֑ים וְדֶ֖רֶךְ נְתִיבָ֣ה אַל־מָֽוֶת׃ ‬
