[17]עָרֵ֣ב לָ֭אִישׁ לֶ֣חֶם שָׁ֑קֶר וְ֝אַחַ֗ר יִמָּֽלֵא־פִ֥יהוּ חָצָֽץ׃ |
| [18]Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war. |
[18]מַ֭חֲשָׁבֹות בְּעֵצָ֣ה תִכֹּ֑ון וּ֝בְתַחְבֻּלֹ֗ות עֲשֵׂ֣ה מִלְחָמָֽה׃ |

| [20]Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. |
[20]מְ֭קַלֵּל אָבִ֣יו וְאִמֹּ֑ו יִֽדְעַ֥ךְ נֵ֝רֹ֗ו [בְּאִישֹׁון כ] (בֶּאֱשׁ֥וּן ק) חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ |
| [21]An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed. |
[21]נַ֭חֲלָה [מְבֻחֶלֶת כ] (מְבֹהֶ֣לֶת ק) בָּרִאשֹׁנָ֑ה וְ֝אַחֲרִיתָ֗הּ לֹ֣א תְבֹרָֽךְ׃ |
| [22]Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. |
[22]אַל־תֹּאמַ֥ר אֲשַׁלְּמָה־רָ֑ע קַוֵּ֥ה לַֽ֝יהוָ֗ה וְיֹ֣שַֽׁע לָֽךְ׃ |
| [23]Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good. |
[23]תֹּועֲבַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה אֶ֣בֶן וָאָ֑בֶן וּמֹאזְנֵ֖י מִרְמָ֣ה לֹא־טֹֽוב׃ |
| [24]Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? |
[24]מֵיְהוָ֥ה מִצְעֲדֵי־גָ֑בֶר וְ֝אָדָ֗ם מַה־יָּבִ֥ין דַּרְכֹּֽו׃ |
| [25]It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry. |
[25]מֹוקֵ֣שׁ אָ֭דָם יָ֣לַע קֹ֑דֶשׁ וְאַחַ֖ר נְדָרִ֣ים לְבַקֵּֽר׃ |
| [26]A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them. |

| [27]The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. |
[27]נֵ֣ר יְ֭הוָה נִשְׁמַ֣ת אָדָ֑ם חֹ֝פֵ֗שׂ כָּל־חַדְרֵי־בָֽטֶן׃ |
| [28]Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy. |
[28]חֶ֣סֶד וֶ֭אֱמֶת יִצְּרוּ־מֶ֑לֶךְ וְסָעַ֖ד בַּחֶ֣סֶד כִּסְאֹֽו׃ |
| [29]The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head. |
[29]תִּפְאֶ֣רֶת בַּחוּרִ֣ים כֹּחָ֑ם וַהֲדַ֖ר זְקֵנִ֣ים שֵׂיבָֽה׃ |
| [30]The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. |
[30]חַבֻּרֹ֣ות פֶּ֭צַע [תַּמְרִיק כ] (תַּמְר֣וּק ק) בְּרָ֑ע וּ֝מַכֹּ֗ות חַדְרֵי־בָֽטֶן׃ |
