1 Tawab (good / proper function) is the rawash (poor) who halak (move) in his tham (integrity) than he who is iqash (perverse) in his shapah (lips) and is a kasayal (fool).
2 It isn't tawab (good / proper function) to napash (soul) zeal without daith (knowledge); nor being hasty with one's ragalayam (feet) and chataa (missing) the way.
3 The awalath (foolishness) of adam (man) subverts his darak (way); his lab (heart) rages against Yahawah ().
4 Hawan (wealth) yasap (adds) many raiyam (friends), but the dal (poor) is parad (separated) from his rai (neigbor/another person).
5 A shaqar (false) id (until / as far as) shall not be naqah (clean/innocent). He who pours out kazabayam (lies) shall not malat (go) free.
6 Many will entreat the favor of a nadayab (ruler), and everyone is a rai (neigbor/another person) to a ayash (man / husband) who gives mathan (gifts).
7 All the relatives of the rawash (poor) shun him: how much more do his marai (friends) avoid him! He radap (pursues) them with pleas, but they are gone.
8 He who qanah (gets) lab (heart) ahab (love) his own napash (soul). He who shamar (keep/guard) thabawan (understanding) shall matzaa (find) tawab (good / proper function).
9 A shaqar (false) id (until / as far as) shall not be naqah (clean/innocent). He who pawach (utters) kazabayam (lies) shall abad (destroy / perish).
10 Thainawag (delicate) living is not appropriate for a kasayal (fool), much less for a ibad (servant) to mashal (rule/have dominion) rule over sharayam (princes).
11 The shakal (discretion) of a adam (man) arak (makes) him slow to ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting). It is his glory to overlook an offense.
12 The malak (king) zaip (wrath) is like the naham (roaring) of a kapayar (lion), but his favor is like tal (dew) on the ishab (grass).
13 A kasayal (foolish) ban (son) is the hawah (calamity / destruction) of his ab (father). A ayashah (woman / wife) quarrels are a tarad (continual) dripping.
14 Bayath (house) and riches are an nachalah (inheritance) from abawath (fathers), but a shakal (prudent) ayashah (woman / wife) is from Yahawah ().
15 Itzalah (slothfulness) napal (fall / be cast down) into a tharadamah (deep) sleep. The ramayah (idle) napash (soul) shall raib (suffer) hunger.
16 He who shamar (keep/guard) the matzawah (commandment) shamar (keep/guard) his napash (soul), but he who is contemptuous in his darak (ways) shall mawath (death).
17 He who chanan (showing favor) pity on the dal (poor) lawah (lends) to Yahawah (); he will shalam (reward) him.
18 Discipline your ban (son), for there is thaqawah (hope); don't be a willing party to his mawath (death).
19 A hot - tempered garal (man) must pay the penalty, for if you natzal (rescue) him, you must yasap (do) it again.
20 Shamai (hearken / hear) to itzah (counsel) and qabal (receive) mawasar (instruction), that you may be chakam (wise) in your acharayath (latter) end.
21 There are many plans in a ayash (man / husband) lab (heart), but Yahawah () itzah (counsel) will prevail.
22 That which makes a adam (man) to be thaawah (desired) is his chasad (grace). A rawash (poor) man is tawab (good / proper function) than a kazab (liar).
23 The yaraah (fear) of Yahawah () leads to chay (life), then contentment; he lawan (rests) and will not be touched by rai (trouble).
24 The itzal (sluggard) buries his yad (hand) in the tzalachath (dish); he will not so much as shawab (turn) it to his pah (mouth) again.
25 Flog a lawatz (scoffer), and the pathay (simple) will learn prudence; yakach (rebuke) one who has bayan (between), and he will gain daith (knowledge).
26 He who robs his ab (father) and barach (drives) away his am (mother), is a ban (son) who bawash (causes) shame and chapar (brings) reproach.
27 If you stop shamai (hearken / hear) to mawasar (instruction), my ban (son), you will stray from the amaray (Amaray / Amorite) of daith (knowledge).
28 A corrupt id (until / as far as) lawatz (mocks) mashapat (justice), and the pah (mouth) of the rashai (wicked) gulps down rashai (iniquity).
29 Penalties are kawan (prepared) for latzayam (scoffers), and beatings for the gaw (backs) of kasayalayam (fools).
