1 الشرير يهرب ولا طارد اما الصدّيقون فكشبل ثبيت.2 لمعصية ارض تكثر رؤساؤها. لكن بذي فهم ومعرفة تدوم.3 الرجل الفقير الذي يظلم فقراء هو مطر جارف لا يبقي طعاما.4 تاركو الشريعة يمدحون الاشرار وحافظو الشريعة يخاصمونهم.5 الناس الاشرار لا يفهمون الحق وطالبو الرب يفهمون كل شيء.6 الفقير السالك باستقامته خير من معوج الطرق وهو غني.7 الحافظ الشريعة هو ابن فهيم وصاحب المسرفين يخجل اباه.8 المكثر ماله بالربا والمرابحة فلمن يرحم الفقراء يجمعه.9 من يحول اذنه عن سماع الشريعة فصلاته ايضا مكرهة10 من يضل المستقيمين في طريق رديئة ففي حفرته يسقط هو. اما الكملة فيمتلكون خيرا.11 الرجل الغني حكيم في عيني نفسه والفقير الفهيم يفحصه.12 اذا فرح الصدّيقون عظم الفخر وعند قيام الاشرار تختفي الناس.13 من يكتم خطاياه لا ينجح ومن يقرّ بها ويتركها يرحم.14 طوبى للانسان المتقي دائما. اما المقسي قلبه فيسقط في الشر.15 اسد زائر ودب ثائر المتسلط الشرير على شعب فقير.16 رئيس ناقص الفهم وكثير المظالم. مبغض الرشوة تطول ايامه17 الرجل المثقّل بدم نفس يهرب الى الجب. لا يمسكنه احد.18 السالك بالكمال يخلص والملتوي في طريقين يسقط في احداهما.19 المشتغل بارضه يشبع خبزا وتابع البطّالين يشبع فقرا.20 الرجل الامين كثير البركات والمستعجل الى الغنى لا يبرأ.21 محاباة الوجوه ليست صالحة فيذنب الانسان لاجل كسرة خبز.22 ذو العين الشريرة يعجل الى الغنى ولا يعلم ان الفقر ياتيه.23 من يوبخ انسانا يجد اخيرا نعمة اكثر من المطري باللسان.24 السالب اباه او امه وهو يقول لا بأس فهو رفيق لرجل مخرب.25 المنتفخ النفس يهيج الخصام والمتكل على الرب يسمن.26 المتكل على قلبه هو جاهل والسالك بحكمة هو ينجو.27 من يعطي الفقير لا يحتاج ولمن يحجب عنه عينيه لعنات كثيرة.28 عند قيام الاشرار تختبئ الناس. وبهلاكهم يكثر الصدّيقون

1 The wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion.2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.3 A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.6 Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father.8 He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.9 He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.10 Whoever causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that has understanding searches him out.12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.13 He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.14 Happy is the man that fears always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.16 The prince that wants understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.17 A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.18 Whoever walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.19 He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough.20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent.21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.22 He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come on him.23 He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favor than he that flatters with the tongue.24 Whoever robs his father or his mother, and said, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.25 He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife: but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.26 He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered.27 He that gives to the poor shall not lack: but he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse.28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
