 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLEProverbs:12Biblia Hebraica (Stuttgartensia) | BHS (pdf - 3.5mb)  

1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but he who hates reproof is stupid.
 אֹהֵב מוּסָר אֹהֵב דָּעַת וְשֹׂנֵא תֹוכַחַת בָּעַר׃
2 A good man obtains favour from Yahweh,
but a man of evil devices he condemns.
 טֹוב יָפִיק רָצֹון מֵיְהוָה וְאִישׁ מְזִמֹּות יַרְשִׁיעַ׃
3 A man is not established by wickedness,
but the root of the righteous will never be moved.
 לֹא־יִכֹּון אָדָם בְּרֶשַׁע וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים בַּל־יִמֹּוט׃
4 A good wife is the crown of her husband,
but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.
 אֵשֶׁת־חַיִל עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ וּכְרָקָב בְּעַצְמֹותָיו מְבִישָׁה׃
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just;
the counsels of the wicked are treacherous.
 מַחְשְׁבֹות צַדִּיקִים מִשְׁפָּט תַּחְבֻּלֹות רְשָׁעִים מִרְמָה׃
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
but the mouth of the upright delivers men.
 דִּבְרֵי רְשָׁעִים אֱרָב־דָּם וּפִי יְשָׁרִים יַצִּילֵם׃
7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
but the house of the righteous will stand.
 הָפֹוךְ רְשָׁעִים וְאֵינָם וּבֵית צַדִּיקִים יַעֲמֹד׃
8 A man is commended according to his good sense,
but one of perverse mind is despised.
 לְפִי־שִׂכְלֹו יְהֻלַּל־אִישׁ וְנַעֲוֵה־לֵב יִהְיֶה לָבוּז׃
9 Better is a man of humble standing who works for himself
than one who plays the great man but lacks bread.
 טֹוב נִקְלֶה וְעֶבֶד לֹו מִמְּתַכַּבֵּד וַחֲסַר־לָחֶם׃
10 A righteous man has regard for the life of his beast,
but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
 יֹודֵעַ צַדִּיק נֶפֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתֹּו וְרַחֲמֵי רְשָׁעִים אַכְזָרִי׃
11 He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
but he who follows worthless pursuits has no sense.
 עֹבֵד אַדְמָתֹו יִשְׂבַּע־לָחֶם וּמְרַדֵּף רֵיקִים חֲסַר־לֵב׃
12 The strong tower of the wicked comes to ruin,
but the root of the righteous stands firm.
 חָמַד רָשָׁע מְצֹוד רָעִים וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּן׃
13 An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,
but the righteous escapes from trouble.
 בְּפֶשַׁע שְׂפָתַיִם מֹוקֵשׁ רָע וַיֵּצֵא מִצָּרָה צַדִּיק׃
14 From the fruit of his words a man is satisfied with good,
and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.
 מִפְּרִי פִי־אִישׁ יִשְׂבַּע־טֹוב וּגְמוּל יְדֵי־אָדָם [כ= יָשׁוּב] [ק= יָשִׁיב] לֹו׃
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
but a wise man listens to advice.
 דֶּרֶךְ אֱוִיל יָשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו וְשֹׁמֵעַ לְעֵצָה חָכָם׃
16 The vexation of a fool is known at once,
but the prudent man ignores an insult.
 אֱוִיל בַּיֹּום יִוָּדַע כַּעְסֹו וְכֹסֶה קָלֹון עָרוּם׃
17 He who speaks the truth gives honest evidence,
but a false witness utters deceit.
 יָפִיחַ אֱמוּנָה יַגִּיד צֶדֶק וְעֵד שְׁקָרִים מִרְמָה׃
18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
 יֵשׁ בֹּוטֶה כְּמַדְקְרֹות חָרֶב וּלְשֹׁון חֲכָמִים מַרְפֵּא׃
19 Truthful lips endure for ever,
but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
 שְׂפַת־אֱמֶת תִּכֹּון לָעַד וְעַד־אַרְגִּיעָה לְשֹׁון שָׁקֶר׃
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but those who plan good have joy.
 מִרְמָה בְּלֶב־חֹרְשֵׁי רָע וּלְיֹעֲצֵי שָׁלֹום שִׂמְחָה׃
21 No ill befalls the righteous,
but the wicked are filled with trouble.
 לֹא־יְאֻנֶּה לַצַּדִּיק כָּל־אָוֶן וּרְשָׁעִים מָלְאוּ רָע׃
22 Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh,
but those who act faithfully are his delight.
 תֹּועֲבַת יְהוָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר וְעֹשֵׂי אֱמוּנָה רְצֹונֹו׃
23 A prudent man conceals his knowledge,
but fools proclaim their folly.
 אָדָם עָרוּם כֹּסֶה דָּעַת וְלֵב כְּסִילִים יִקְרָא אִוֶּלֶת׃
24 The hand of the diligent will rule,
while the slothful will be put to forced labour.
 יַד־חָרוּצִים תִּמְשֹׁול וּרְמִיָּה תִּהְיֶה לָמַס׃
25 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down,
but a good word makes him glad.
 דְּאָגָה בְלֶב־אִישׁ יַשְׁחֶנָּה וְדָבָר טֹוב יְשַׂמְּחֶנָּה׃
26 A righteous man turns away from evil,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
 יָתֵר מֵרֵעֵהוּ צַדִּיק וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים תַּתְעֵם׃
27 A slothful man will not catch his prey,
but the diligent man will get precious wealth.
 לֹא־יַחֲרֹךְ רְמִיָּה צֵידֹו וְהֹון־אָדָם יָקָר חָרוּץ׃
28 In the path of righteousness is life,
but the way of error leads to death.
 בְּאֹרַח־צְדָקָה חַיִּים וְדֶרֶךְ נְתִיבָה אַל־מָוֶת׃

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
