Proverbs - Chapter: 4


4:1	Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
4:2	For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
4:3	For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4:4	He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
4:5	Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
4:6	Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
4:7	Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
4:8	Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
4:9	She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
4:10	Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
4:11	I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
4:12	When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
4:13	Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
4:14	Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
4:15	Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
4:16	For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
4:17	For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
4:18	But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
4:19	The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
4:20	My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
4:21	Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
4:22	For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
4:23	Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
4:24	Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
4:25	Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
4:26	Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
4:27	Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.


4:1	שׁמעו בנים מוסר אב והקשׁיבו לדעת בינה׃
4:2	כי לקח טוב נתתי לכם תורתי אל תעזבו׃
4:3	כי בן הייתי לאבי רך ויחיד לפני אמי׃
4:4	וירני ויאמר לי יתמך דברי לבך שׁמר מצותי וחיה׃
4:5	קנה חכמה קנה בינה אל תשׁכח ואל תט מאמרי פי׃
4:6	אל תעזבה ותשׁמרך אהבה ותצרך׃
4:7	ראשׁית חכמה קנה חכמה ובכל קנינך קנה בינה׃
4:8	סלסלה ותרוממך תכבדך כי תחבקנה׃
4:9	תתן לראשׁך לוית חן עטרת תפארת תמגנך׃
4:10	שׁמע בני וקח אמרי וירבו לך שׁנות חיים׃
4:11	בדרך חכמה הרתיך הדרכתיך במעגלי ישׁר׃
4:12	בלכתך לא יצר צעדך ואם תרוץ לא תכשׁל׃
4:13	החזק במוסר אל תרף נצרה כי היא חייך׃
4:14	בארח רשׁעים אל תבא ואל תאשׁר בדרך רעים׃
4:15	פרעהו אל תעבר בו שׂטה מעליו ועבור׃
4:16	כי לא ישׁנו אם לא ירעו ונגזלה שׁנתם אם לא יכשׁולו׃
4:17	כי לחמו לחם רשׁע ויין חמסים ישׁתו׃
4:18	וארח צדיקים כאור נגה הולך ואור עד נכון היום׃
4:19	דרך רשׁעים כאפלה לא ידעו במה יכשׁלו׃
4:20	בני לדברי הקשׁיבה לאמרי הט אזנך׃
4:21	אל יליזו מעיניך שׁמרם בתוך לבבך׃
4:22	כי חיים הם למצאיהם ולכל בשׂרו מרפא׃
4:23	מכל משׁמר נצר לבך כי ממנו תוצאות חיים׃
4:24	הסר ממך עקשׁות פה ולזות שׂפתים הרחק ממך׃
4:25	עיניך לנכח יביטו ועפעפיך יישׁרו נגדך׃
4:26	פלס מעגל רגלך וכל דרכיך יכנו׃
4:27	אל תט ימין ושׂמאול הסר רגלך מרע׃


4:1	Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.
4:2	For good learning I have given to you, My law forsake not.
4:3	For, a son I have been to my father -- tender, And an only one before my mother.
4:4	And he directeth me, and he saith to me: `Let thy heart retain my words, Keep my commands, and live.
4:5	Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.
4:6	Forsake her not, and she doth preserve thee, Love her, and she doth keep thee.
4:7	The first thing `is' wisdom -- get wisdom, And with all thy getting get understanding.
4:8	Exalt her, and she doth lift thee up, She honoureth thee, when thou dost embrace her.
4:9	She giveth to thy head a wreath of grace, A crown of beauty she doth give thee freely.
4:10	Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And years of life `are' multiplied to thee.
4:11	In a way of wisdom I have directed thee, I have caused thee to tread in paths of uprightness.
4:12	In thy walking thy step is not straitened, And if thou runnest, thou stumblest not.
4:13	Lay hold on instruction, do not desist, Keep her, for she `is' thy life.
4:14	Into the path of the wicked enter not, And be not happy in a way of evil doers.
4:15	Avoid it, pass not over into it, Turn aside from it, and pass on.
4:16	For they sleep not if they do not evil, And their sleep hath been taken violently away, If they cause not `some' to stumble.
4:17	For they have eaten bread of wickedness, And wine of violence they drink.
4:18	And the path of the righteous `is' as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,
4:19	The way of the wicked `is' as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble.
4:20	My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline thine ear,
4:21	Let them not turn aside from thine eyes, Preserve them in the midst of thy heart.
4:22	For life they `are' to those finding them, And to all their flesh healing.
4:23	Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it `are' the outgoings of life.
4:24	Turn aside from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee,
4:25	Thine eyes do look straightforward, And thine eyelids look straight before thee.
4:26	Ponder thou the path of thy feet, And all thy ways `are' established.
4:27	Incline not `to' the right or to the left, Turn aside thy foot from evil!
