Proverbs 17Ch- | Bk- | Save as | Bk+ | Ch+משלי
טוב פת חרבה ושלוה־בה מבית מלא זבחי־ריב׃ Prov 17:1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
עבד־משכיל ימשל בבן מביש ובתוך אחים יחלק נחלה׃ Prov 17:2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
מצרף לכסף וכור לזהב ובחן לבות יהוה׃ Prov 17:3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
מרע מקשיב על־שפת־און שקר מזין על־לשון הות׃ Prov 17:4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
לעג לרש חרף עשהו שמח לאיד לא ינקה׃ Prov 17:5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
עטרת זקנים בני בנים ותפארת בנים אבותם׃ Prov 17:6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
לא־נאוה לנבל שפת־יתר אף כי־לנדיב שפת־שקר׃ Prov 17:7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
אבן־חן השחד בעיני בעליו אל־כל־אשר יפנה ישכיל׃ Prov 17:8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
מכסה־פשע מבקש אהבה ושנה בדבר מפריד אלוף׃ Prov 17:9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
תחת גערה במבין מהכות כסיל מאה׃ Prov 17:10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
אך־מרי יבקש־רע ומלאך אכזרי ישלח־בו׃ Prov 17:11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
פגוש דב שכול באיש ואל־כסיל באולתו׃ Prov 17:12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
משיב רעה תחת טובה לא־תמוש רעה מביתו׃ Prov 17:13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
פוטר מים ראשית מדון ולפני התגלע הריב נטוש׃ Prov 17:14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
מצדיק רשע ומרשיע צדיק תועבת יהוה גם־שניהם׃ Prov 17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
למה־זה מחיר ביד־כסיל לקנות חכמה ולב־אין׃ Prov 17:16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
בכל־עת אהב הרע ואח לצרה יולד׃ Prov 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
אדם חסר־לב תוקע כף ערב ערבה לפני רעהו׃ Prov 17:18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
אהב פשע אהב מצה מגביה פתחו מבקש־שבר׃ Prov 17:19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
עקש־לב לא ימצא־טוב ונהפך בלשונו יפול ברעה׃ Prov 17:20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
ילד כסיל לתוגה לו ולא־ישמח אבי נבל׃ Prov 17:21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
לב שמח ייטב גהה ורוח נכאה תיבש־גרם׃ Prov 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
שחד מחיק רשע יקח להטות ארחות משפט׃ Prov 17:23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
את־פני מבין חכמה ועיני כסיל בקצה־ארץ׃ Prov 17:24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
כעס לאביו בן כסיל וממר ליולדתו׃ Prov 17:25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
גם ענוש לצדיק לא־טוב להכות נדיבים על־ישר׃ Prov 17:26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
חושך אמריו יודע דעת יקר־רוח איש תבונה׃ Prov 17:27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
גם אויל מחריש חכם יחשב אטם שפתיו נבון׃ Prov 17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
