- It is a trap for a person to say carelessly, “It is holy!”
And after the vows to make inquiry. - Every person’s way is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord examines the hearts. - To do righteousness and justice
Is preferred by the Lord more than sacrifice. - One who pursues righteousness and loyalty
Finds life, righteousness, and honor. - All day long he is craving,
While the righteous gives and does not hold back. - A good name is to be more desired than great wealth;
Favor is better than silver and gold. - The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches, honor, and life. - Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he grows older he will not abandon it. - The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave. - Do not weary yourself to gain wealth;
Stop dwelling on it. - When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.
For wealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. - My son, if your heart is wise,
My own heart also will be glad. - The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. - Know that wisdom is the same for your soul;
If you find it, then there will be a future,
And your hope will not be cut off. - Like a city that is broken into and without walls
So is a person who has no self-control over his spirit. - Do not abandon your friend or your father’s friend,
And do not go to your brother’s house on the day of your disaster;
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away. - A prudent person sees evil and hides himself;
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty. - As iron sharpens iron,
So one person sharpens another. - As in water a face reflects the face,
So the heart of a person reflects the person. - One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law,
Even his prayer is an abomination. - One who conceals his wrongdoings will not prosper,
But one who confesses and abandons them will find compassion. - A fool always loses his temper,
But a wise person holds it back. - A person’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor. - The fear of man brings a snare,
But one who trusts in the Lord will be protected. - Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
