RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

21 Evil pursues sinners: but to the tzadik tov shall be
repaid.
22 A tov man leaves an inheritance to his children’s
children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the
tzadik.
23 Much food is in the tillable ground of the poor: but
lack of mishpat sweeps it away.
24 He that spares his rod hates his son: but he that loves
him chastens him diligently.
25 The tzadik eats to the satisfying of his being: but the
belly of the wicked shall have lack.
14
Every wise woman builds her bayit: but the foolish
breaks it down with her hands.
2 He that walks in his uprightness fears vuvh: but he that
is perverse in his halachot despises Him.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips
of the wise shall preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase
comes from the strength of the ox.
5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will
utter lies.
6 A scorner seeks chochmah, and finds it not: but da’at is
easy to him that understands.
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you
perceive not in him the lips of da’at.
8 The chochmah of the clever is to understand His derech:
but the folly of fools is deceit.
9 Fools make a mockery of sin: but among the tzadik
there is favor.
10 The lev knows its own bitterness; and a ger does not
share its simcha.
11 The bayit of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the
sukkah of the upright shall flourish. 3990
12 There is a derech that seems right to a man, but the
ends of it are the ways of death. 3991
13 Even in laughter the lev is in pain; and the end of that
simcha is heaviness.
14 The backslider in lev shall be filled with his own
halachot: but a tov man shall be satisfied from within.
15 The simple believes every word: but the clever man
looks carefully at all his steps.
16 A wise man fears, and departs from evil: but the fool
rages, and is confident.
17 He that is quick to be angry deals foolishly: and a man
of wicked devices is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly: but the clever are crowned
with da’at.
19 The evil man bows before the tov; and the wicked man
at the gates of the tzadik.
20 The poor is hated even by his own neighbor: but the
rich has many chaverim.
21 He that despises his neighbor sins: but he that has
rachamim on the poor is blessed.
22 Do they not go astray that devise evil? But rachamim
and emet shall be for them that devise tov.
23 In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips leads
only to poverty.
24 The keter of the wise is their riches: but the
foolishness of fools is folly.
25 A true witness delivers beings: but a deceitful witness
speaks lies.

26 In the fear of vuvh is strong confidence: and His
children in Yisrael shall have a place of refuge.
27 The fear of vuvh is a fountain of chayim, to depart
from the traps of death.
28 In the multitude of the nation is the melech’s honor:
3992 but by the lack of the nation rulership is broken.
29 He that is slow to anger is of great binah: but he that is
hasty of ruach exalts folly.
30 A sound lev is the chayim of the flesh: but jealousy the
rottenness of the bones.
31 He that oppresses the poor reproaches His Maker: but
he that honors Him has rachamim on the poor.
32 The wicked is taken away in his wickedness: but the
tzadik has tikvah in his death.
33 Chochmah rests in the lev of him that has binah: but
that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach
that diminishes 3993 any people.
35 The melech’s favor is toward a wise eved: but his
anger is against him that causes shame. 3994
15
A soft answer turns away anger: but harsh words stir
up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise uses da’at right: but the mouth
of fools pours out foolishness.
3 The eyes of vuvh are in every place, beholding the evil
and the tov.
4 A wholesome tongue is an eytz chayim: but
perverseness of tongue crushes the ruach.
5 A fool despises his abba’s discipline: but he that regards
correction is clever.
6 In the bayit of the tzadik is much treasure: but the
income of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse da’at: but the lev of the
foolish does not do so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to vuvh:
but the tefillah of the upright is His delight.
9 The derech of the wicked is an abomination to vuvh: but
He loves him that follows after tzedakah.
10 Correction will be harsh to him that forsakes the way:
and he that hates correction shall die.
11 Sheol and destruction are before vuvh: how much
more the levim of the children of Yisrael and of men?
12 A scorner loves not one that reproves him: neither will
he go to the wise.
13 A lev of simcha makes a cheerful face: but by sorrow
of the lev the ruach is crushed.
14 The lev of him that has binah seeks da’at: but the
mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that has a
lev of simcha has a continual moed.
16 Better is little with the fear of vuvh than great treasure
with trouble.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where ahava is, than a fatted
calf where hatred is.
18 An angry man stirs up strife: but he that is slow to
anger appeases strife.
19 The derech of the lazy man is as a hedge of thorns: but
the way of the tzadik is a highway.
20 A wise son makes an abba have gilah: but a foolish
man despises his eema.
21 Folly is simcha to him that is destitute of chochmah:
but a man of binah walks uprightly.
