[29] Do you see a man who is prompt in his business; before Kings he shall stand; not he shall stand before obscure men
Is to be chosen A name rather than riches great; rather than silver or gold, favor (is) better. The rich and the poor meet together; is the maker of all of them Jehovah. A sensible one sees the evil and hides himself; but the simple pass on and are punished. The reward of humility (is) the fear of Jehovah; riches, and honor, and life. Thorns, snares (are) in the way of the crocked, he who keeps his soul shall be far from them. Train up a boy on the mouth of his way, even when he is old, not he will turn aside from it. The rich over the poor rules; and servant (is) the borrow to a man who lends. He who sows injustice shall reap evil and the rod of his wrath shall cease The eye good of He is blessed; for he gives of his bread to the poor. Drive out the scorner, and shall go out strife; and shall cease quarrels and shame. He who loves pureness of heart grace (is on) his lips; (shall be) his friend the king. The eyes of Jehovah keep knowledge; and He overthrows the words of the sly, says The lazy one, A lion (is) outside in the midst of the streets, I will be killed. A pit deep (is) the mouth of alien women; those hated (by) Jehovah shall fall there. Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a boy; and rod of discipline shall drive it far from him. He who oppresses the poor to multiply to him; he gives to the rich, only (to come) to poverty. Stretch your ear and hear the words of the wise; and your heart apply to my knowledge; for (they are) pleasant when you keep them within you; they shall be fixed together on your lips. So that may be in Jehovah your trust, I caused you to know today, even you. Have not I written to you thirty times with counsels and knowledge; to make you know the verity of the words of truth; to return words of truth to him who sent you. Not do rob the poor because poor he is; and not do crush the afflicted in the gate. For Jehovah shall plead their cause, and will plunder those plundering them (in) the soul, not do associate with a lord of anger and with a man of fury not do go in. lest you learn his paths and take a snare for your soul. Do not be one of those who strikes the palm, who are sureties for loans. If is not to you to repay, why should he take your bed from under you? not do move the landmark old which have set your fathers. Do you see a man who is prompt in his business? before kings He shall stand; not he shall stand before obscure (men).
