Proverbs 13

Proverbs 13

1 A ben chacham heareth his musar av, but a scoffer heareth not ge'arah [(scolding, rebuke)]. 2 An ish shall eat tov by the fruit of his peh [(mouth)], but the nefesh of the bogedim [(unfaithful ones, traitors)] shall eat chamas. 3 He that is shomer over his peh [(mouth)] guards his nefesh, but he that openeth wide his sfatayim [(lips)] shall have ruin. 4 The nefesh of the atzel [(sluggard, lazy one)] desireth, and hath nothing, but the nefesh of the kharutzim [(diligent ones)] shall have ample provision. 5 A tzaddik hateth sheker, but a wicked man is shamefully loathsome, and bringeth disgrace. 6 Tzedakah is guard over him whose derech is blameless, but wickedness overthroweth the chattat [(sinner)]. 7 There is one who maketh himself out to be rich, yet hath nothing; there is one that maketh himself out to be poor, yet hath hon rav [(great wealth)]. 8 The riches of an ish is kofer [(ransom)] for his nefesh [(life)], but the poor heareth no threat. 9 The ohr [(light)] of the tzaddik rejoiceth, but the ner [(lamp)] of the resha'im [(wicked)] shall be put out. 10 By zadon [(pride)] cometh only contention, but with the teachable is chochmah. 11 Hon [(wealth)] gotten by dishonesty shall be diminished, but he that gathereth incrementally shall have an increment. 12 Hope deferred maketh the lev sick, but when the ta'avah [(desire)] cometh, it is an Etz Chayyim [(Tree of Life)]. 13 He who despiseth the davar shall be destroyed, but he that feareth the mitzvah shall be rewarded. 14 The torat chacham [(teaching of the wise)] is a makor chayyim [(fountain of life)], to turn one away from the snares of mavet. 15 Seichel tov giveth favor, but the derech bogedim [(way of traitors)] is hard. 16 Every prudent man acts with da'as, but a kesil [(fool)] displays his folly. 17 A malach rasha falleth into rah [(trouble)], but a tzir emunim [(trustworthy envoy)] is marpeh [(healing)]. 18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that disdains musar, but he that is shomer over tokhakhat [(reproof)] shall be honored. 19 The ta'avah [(desire, longing)] fulfilled is sweet to the nefesh, but it is to'evat kesilim [(the abomination of fools)] to depart from rah. 20 He that walketh with chachamim shall be wise, but a companion of kesilim [(fools)] shall come to harm. 21 Ra'ah [(disaster)] pursueth chatta'im [(sinners)], but tov is the reward of the tzaddikim. 22 A tov [(good man)] leaveth an inheritance to his bnei banim, and the wealth of the choteh [(sinner)] is laid up for the tzaddik. 23 Rav ochel [(much food)] is in the untilled ground of the poor, but for want of mishpat [(justice)] it is swept away. 24 He that spareth his shevet [(rod)] hateth bno [(his son)], but he that loveth him is diligent in his musar [(discipline)]. 25 The tzaddik [(righteous)] eateth to the satisfying of his nefesh [(soul)], but the beten [(stomach)] of the resha'im shall want.
