< أَمْثَالٌ 15 >
اَلْجَوَابُ ٱللَّيِّنُ يَصْرِفُ ٱلْغَضَبَ، وَٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلْمُوجِعُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلسَّخَطَ. | ١ 1 |
A soft answere putteth away wrath: but grieuous wordes stirre vp anger.
لِسَانُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ يُحَسِّنُ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَفَمُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ يُنْبِعُ حَمَاقَةً. | ٢ 2 |

The eyes of the Lord in euery place beholde the euill and the good.

A wholesome tongue is as a tree of life: but the frowardnes therof is the breaking of ye minde.
اَلْأَحْمَقُ يَسْتَهِينُ بِتَأْدِيبِ أَبِيهِ، أَمَّا مُرَاعِي ٱلتَّوْبِيخِ فَيَذْكَى. | ٥ 5 |
A foole despiseth his fathers instruction: but he that regardeth correction, is prudent.
فِي بَيْتِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ كَنْزٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَفِي دَخْلِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ كَدَرٌ. | ٦ 6 |
The house of the righteous hath much treasure: but in the reuenues of the wicked is trouble.
شِفَاهُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ تَذُرُّ مَعْرِفَةً، أَمَّا قَلْبُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ فَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٧ 7 |
The lippes of the wise doe spread abroade knowledge: but ye heart of the foolish doth not so.
ذَبِيحَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَصَلَاةُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ مَرْضَاتُهُ. | ٨ 8 |

Instruction is euill to him that forsaketh the way, and he that hateth correction, shall die.
اَلْهَاوِيَةُ وَٱلْهَلَاكُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. كَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ قُلُوبُ بَنِي آدَمَ! (Sheol ) | ١١ 11 |
Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the sonnes of men? (Sheol )

A scorner loueth not him that rebuketh him, neither will he goe vnto the wise.
اَلْقَلْبُ ٱلْفَرْحَانُ يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوَجْهَ طَلِقًا، وَبِحُزْنِ ٱلْقَلْبِ تَنْسَحِقُ ٱلرُّوحُ. | ١٣ 13 |

أَكْلَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْبُقُولِ حَيْثُ تَكُونُ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَوْرٍ مَعْلُوفٍ وَمَعَهُ بُغْضَةٌ. | ١٧ 17 |
Better is a dinner of greene herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe and hatred therewith.
