Verse 1א׳Standard3,558
אַל־תְּבַהֵל עַל־פִּיךָ וְלִבְּךָ אַל־יְמַהֵר לְהוֹצִיא דָבָר לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי הָאֱלֹהִים בַּשָּׁמַיִם וְאַתָּה עַל־הָאָרֶץ עַֽל־כֵּן יִהְיוּ דְבָרֶיךָ מְעַטִּֽים
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.
Verse 2ב׳Standard1,228
כִּי בָּא הַחֲלוֹם בְּרֹב עִנְיָן וְקוֹל כְּסִיל בְּרֹב דְּבָרִֽים
For a dream cometh through a multitude of business; And a fool’s voice through a multitude of words.
Verse 3ג׳Standard4,858
כַּאֲשֶׁר תִּדֹּר נֶדֶר לֵֽאלֹהִים אַל־תְּאַחֵר לְשַׁלְּמוֹ כִּי אֵין חֵפֶץ בַּכְּסִילִים אֵת אֲשֶׁר־תִּדֹּר שַׁלֵּֽם
When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for He hath no pleasure in fools; pay that which thou vowest.
Verse 4ד׳Standard2,910
טוֹב אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־תִדֹּר מִשֶׁתִּדּוֹר וְלֹא תְשַׁלֵּֽם
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Verse 5ה׳Standard5,282
אַל־תִּתֵּן אֶת־פִּיךָ לַחֲטִיא אֶת־בְּשָׂרֶךָ וְאַל־תֹּאמַר לִפְנֵי הַמַּלְאָךְ כִּי שְׁגָגָה הִיא לָמָּה יִקְצֹף הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל־קוֹלֶךָ וְחִבֵּל אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶֽיךָ
Suffer not thy mouth to bring thy flesh into guilt, neither say thou before the messenger, that it was an error; wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?
Verse 6ו׳Standard2,018
כִּי בְרֹב חֲלֹמוֹת וַהֲבָלִים וּדְבָרִים הַרְבֵּה כִּי אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים יְרָֽא
For through the multitude of dreams and vanities there are also many words; but fear thou God.
Verse 7ז׳Standard4,513
אִם־עֹשֶׁק רָשׁ וְגֵזֶל מִשְׁפָּט וָצֶדֶק תִּרְאֶה בַמְּדִינָה אַל־תִּתְמַהּ עַל־הַחֵפֶץ כִּי גָבֹהַּ מֵעַל גָּבֹהַ שֹׁמֵר וּגְבֹהִים עֲלֵיהֶֽם
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent perverting of justice and righteousness in the state, marvel not at the matter; for one higher than the high watcheth, and there are higher than they.
Verse 8ח׳Standard1,586
וְיִתְרוֹן אֶרֶץ בַּכֹּל היא מֶלֶךְ לְשָׂדֶה נֶעֱבָֽד
But the profit of a land every way is a king that maketh himself servant to the field.
Verse 9ט׳Standard1,445
אֹהֵב כֶּסֶף לֹא־יִשְׂבַּע כֶּסֶף וּמִֽי־אֹהֵב בֶּהָמוֹן לֹא תְבוּאָה גַּם־זֶה הָֽבֶל
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase; this also is vanity.
Verse 10י׳Standard2,519
בִּרְבוֹת הַטּוֹבָה רַבּוּ אוֹכְלֶיהָ וּמַה־כִּשְׁרוֹן לִבְעָלֶיהָ כִּי אִם־ראית עֵינָֽיו
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding of them with his eyes?
