1Wine is, a scoffer, and strong drink, a brawler, every one therefore who erreth therein, is unwise. 2The growl as of a young lion, is the dread inspired by a king, he that provoketh him, endangereth his own life. 3Honour, hath the man who sitteth away from strife, but, any fool, may break through. 4By reason of the autumn, a sluggard will not plough, therefore shall he beg in harvest, and there be nothing. 5Deep water, is counsel in a mans heart, but, a man of understanding, will draw it out. 6A kind man one may call, a great man,but, a faithful man, who can find? 7As for a righteous man, walking in his integrity, how happy are his children after him! 8A king sitting on the throne of judgment, scattereth, with his eyes, all wrong. 9Who can say, I have cleansed my heart, I am pure from my sin? 10Divers weights, and divers measures, an abomination to Yahweh, are they, both. 11Even, by his doings, doth a youth make himself known, whether, pure and upright, be his work. 12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh hath made them, both. 13Do not love sleep, lest thou come to poverty, open thine eyes, be satisfied with bread. 14Bad! bad! saith the buyer, but, going his way, then, he boasteth. 15There are gold, and an abundance of corals, but, precious jewels, are the lips of knowledge. 16Take his garment who is pledge for a stranger,then, for a woman unknown, accept him as surety. 17Sweet to a man, may be the bread of falsehood, but, afterward, shall his mouth be filled with gravel. 18Plansby counsel, shalt thou establish, and, with concerted measures, make thou war. 19A revealer of secrets, is one who goeth about talebearing, therefore, with him who openeth his lips, shalt thou not have fellowship. 20Whoso revileth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in deep darkness. 21An inheritance hastily gotten at the beginning, the latter end thereof, shall not bring blessing. 22Do not say, I will requite wrong! Wait thou for Yahweh that he may save thee. 23An abomination to Yahweh, are divers weights, and, deceptive balances, are not good. 24From Yahweh, are a mans steps, a son of earth, thenhow can he discern his way? 25It is a snare to a man, that he should rashly cry Holy! and, after making vows, to reflect! 26A wise king, winnoweth out the lawless, when he hath turned over them the wheel. 27The lamp of Yahweh, is the spirit of a son of earth, searching all the chambers of the inner man. 28Lovingkindness and faithfulness, will guard a king,therefore should he support, with lovingkindness, his throne. 29The beauty of young men, is their strength, and, the ornament of old men, a hoary head. 30Blows that out in, cleanse away wickedness, and, smitings,
