1 A good name H8034 CMS is rather to be chosen H977 than great H7227 AMS riches H6239 , and loving H2896 AMS favor H2580 NMS rather than silver H3701 and gold H2091 .
2 The rich H6223 AMS and poor H7326 meet together H6298 : the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS is the maker H6213 of them all H3605 .
3 A prudent H6175 AMS man foreseeth H7200 VQQ3MS the evil H7451 AFS , and hideth himself H5641 W-VQY3MS : but the simple H6612 W-NMP pass on H5674 VQQ3MP , and are punished H6064 W-VNQ3MP .
4 By H6118 humility H6038 and the fear H3374 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS are riches H6239 , and honor H3519 , and life H2416 .
5 Thorns H6791 and snares H6341 are in the way H1870 B-NMS of the froward H6141 : he that doth keep H8104 his soul H5315 NMS-3MS shall be far H7368 from H4480 them .
6 Train up H2596 a child H5288 in H5921 PREP the way H1870 he should go H6310 : and H1571 CONJ when H3588 CONJ he is old H2204 VHY3MS , he will not H3808 ADV depart H5493 VQY3MS from H4480 PREP-3FS it .
7 The rich H6223 AMS ruleth H4910 over the poor H7326 , and the borrower H3867 is servant H5650 W-NMS to the lender H376 L-NMS .
8 He that soweth H2232 iniquity H5766 NFS shall reap H7114 vanity H205 : and the rod H7626 of his anger H5678 shall fail H3615 .
9 He H1931 PPRO-3MS that hath a bountiful H2896 AMS eye H5869 NMS shall be blessed H1288 ; for H3588 CONJ he giveth H5414 VQQ3MS of his bread H3899 to the poor H1800 .
10 Cast out H1644 the scorner H3887 , and contention H4066 shall go out H3318 ; yea , strife H1779 NMS and reproach H7036 shall cease H7673 .
11 He that loveth H157 pureness H2890 of heart H3820 , for the grace H2580 NMS of his lips H8193 CFD-3MS the king H4428 NMS shall be his friend H7453 NMS-3MS .
12 The eyes H5869 CMD of the LORD H3068 EDS preserve H5341 knowledge H1847 NFS , and he overthroweth H5557 the words H1697 CMP of the transgressor H898 .
13 The slothful H6102 man saith H559 VQQ3MS , There is a lion H738 without H2351 , I shall be slain H7523 in H8432 B-NMS the streets H7339 .
14 The mouth H6310 of strange women H2114 is a deep H6013 AFS pit H7745 : he that is abhorred H2194 of the LORD H3068 EDS shall fall H5307 therein H8033 .
15 Foolishness H200 is bound H7194 in the heart H3820 of a child H5288 ; but the rod H7626 CMS of correction H4148 shall drive it far H7368 from H4480 M-PREP-3MS him .
16 He that oppresseth H6231 the poor H1800 CMS to increase H7235 his riches , and he that giveth H5414 VQPMS to the rich H6223 , shall surely H389 ADV come to want H4270 .
17 Bow down H5186 thine ear H241 , and hear H8085 the words H1697 CMP of the wise H2450 AMP , and apply H7896 VQI2MS thine heart H3820 unto my knowledge H1847 .
18 For H3588 CONJ it is a pleasant H5273 thing if H3588 CONJ thou keep H8104 them within H990 thee ; they shall withal H3162 ADV-3MS be fitted H3559 in H5921 PREP thy lips H8193 CFD-2MS .
19 That thy trust H4009 may be H1961 in the LORD H3068 , I have made known H3045 to thee this day H3117 D-AMS , even H637 CONJ to thee H859 PPRO-2MS .
20 Have not H3808 I-NADV I written H3789 to thee excellent things H7991 in counsels H4156 and knowledge H1847 ,
21 That I might make thee know H3045 the certainty H7189 of the words H561 CMP of truth H571 CFS ; that thou mightest answer H7725 L-VHFC the words H561 of truth H571 CFS to them that send H7971 unto thee ?
22 Rob H1497 not H408 ADV the poor H1800 CMS , because H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is poor H1800 : neither H408 ADV oppress H1792 the afflicted H6041 AMS in the gate H8179 :
23 For H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS will plead H7378 VQY3MS their cause H7379 , and spoil H6906 the soul H5315 GFS of those that spoiled H6906 them .
24 Make no H408 NPAR friendship H7462 with H854 PREP an angry H639 NMS man H1167 CMS ; and with H854 W-PART a furious H2534 man H376 NMS thou shalt not H3808 NADV go H935 :
25 Lest H6435 CONJ thou learn H502 his ways H734 , and get H3947 a snare H4170 to thy soul H5315 .
26 Be H1961 VQI3FS not H408 NPAR thou one of them that strike H8628 hands H3709 , or of them that are sureties H6148 for debts H4859 .
27 If H518 PART thou hast nothing H369 ADV to pay H7999 , why H4100 L-IPRO should he take away H3947 thy bed H4904 from under H8478 thee ?
28 Remove H5253 not H408 NPAR the ancient H5769 NMS landmark H1366 CMS , which H834 RPRO thy fathers H1 have set H6213 VQQ3MP .
29 Seest H2372 thou a man H376 NMS diligent H4106 in his business H4399 ? he shall stand H3320 before H6440 L-CMP kings H4428 NMP ; he shall not H1077 ADV stand H3320 before H6440 L-CMP mean H2823 men .
