On Life and Conduct
1Lebih baik seorang miskin yang bersih kelakuannya dari pada seorang yang serong bibirnya lagi bebal. 2Tanpa pengetahuan kerajinanpun tidak baik; orang yang tergesa-gesa akan salah langkah. 3Kebodohan menyesatkan jalan orang, lalu gusarlah hatinya terhadap TUHAN. 4Kekayaan menambah banyak sahabat, tetapi orang miskin ditinggalkan sahabatnya. 5Saksi dusta tidak akan luput dari hukuman, orang yang menyembur-nyemburkan kebohongan tidak akan terhindar. 6Banyak orang yang mengambil hati orang dermawan, setiap orang bersahabat dengan si pemberi. 7Orang miskin dibenci oleh semua saudaranya, apalagi sahabat-sahabatnya, mereka menjauhi dia. Ia mengejar mereka, memanggil mereka tetapi mereka tidak ada lagi. 8Siapa memperoleh akal budi, mengasihi dirinya; siapa berpegang pada pengertian, mendapat kebahagiaan. 9Saksi dusta tidak akan luput dari hukuman, orang yang menyembur-nyemburkan kebohongan akan binasa.
1Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity
Than a person who is perverse in speech and is a fool. 2Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,
And one who hurries his footsteps errs. 3The foolishness of a person ruins his way,
And his heart rages against the LORD. 4Wealth adds many friends,
But a poor person is separated from his friend. 5A false witness will not go unpunished,
And one who declares lies will not escape. 6Many will seek the favor of a generous person,
And every person is a friend to him who gives gifts. 7All the brothers of a poor person hate him;
How much more do his friends abandon him!
He pursues them with words, but they are gone. 8One who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
One who keeps understanding will find good. 9A false witness will not go unpunished,
And one who declares lies will perish.

10Kemewahan tidak layak bagi orang bebal, apalagi bagi seorang budak memerintah pembesar. 11Akal budi membuat seseorang panjang sabar dan orang itu dipuji karena memaafkan pelanggaran. 12Kemarahan raja adalah seperti raung singa muda, tetapi kebaikannya seperti embun yang turun ke atas rumput. 13Anak bebal adalah bencana bagi ayahnya, dan pertengkaran seorang isteri adalah seperti tiris yang tidak henti-hentinya menitik. 14Rumah dan harta adalah warisan nenek moyang, tetapi isteri yang berakal budi adalah karunia TUHAN. 15Kemalasan mendatangkan tidur nyenyak, dan orang yang lamban akan menderita lapar. 16Siapa berpegang pada perintah, memelihara nyawanya, tetapi siapa menghina firman, akan mati. 17Siapa menaruh belas kasihan kepada orang yang lemah, memiutangi TUHAN, yang akan membalas perbuatannya itu. 18Hajarlah anakmu selama ada harapan, tetapi jangan engkau menginginkan kematiannya. 19Orang yang sangat cepat marah akan kena denda, karena jika engkau hendak menolongnya, engkau hanya menambah marahnya. 20Dengarkanlah nasihat dan terimalah didikan, supaya engkau menjadi bijak di masa depan. 21Banyaklah rancangan di hati manusia, tetapi keputusan Tuhanlah yang terlaksana. 22Sifat yang diinginkan pada seseorang ialah kesetiaannya; lebih baik orang miskin dari pada seorang pembohong. 23Takut akan Allah mendatangkan hidup, maka orang bermalam dengan puas, tanpa ditimpa malapetaka. 24Si pemalas mencelup tangannya ke dalam pinggan, tetapi tidak juga mengembalikannya ke mulut. 25Jikalau si pencemooh kaupukul, barulah orang yang tak berpengalaman menjadi bijak, jikalau orang yang berpengertian ditegur, ia menjadi insaf. 26Anak yang menganiaya ayahnya atau mengusir ibunya, memburukkan dan memalukan diri. 27Hai anakku, jangan lagi mendengarkan didikan, kalau engkau menyimpang juga dari perkataan-perkataan yang memberi pengetahuan. 28Saksi yang tidak berguna mencemoohkan hukum dan mulut orang fasik menelan dusta. 29Hukuman bagi si pencemooh tersedia dan pukulan bagi punggung orang bebal.
10Luxury is not fitting for a fool;
Much less for a slave to rule over princes. 11A person’s discretion makes him slow to anger,
And it is his glory to overlook an offense. 12A king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is like dew on the grass. 13A foolish son is destruction to his father,
And the quarrels of a wife are a constant dripping. 14House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,
But a prudent wife is from the LORD. 15Laziness casts one into a deep sleep,
And a lazy person will suffer hunger. 16One who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But one who is careless of conduct will die. 17One who is gracious to a poor person lends to the LORD,
And He will repay him for his good deed. 18Discipline your son while there is hope,
And do not desire his death. 19A person of great anger will suffer the penalty,
For if you rescue him, you will only have to do it again. 20Listen to advice and accept discipline,
So that you may be wise the rest of your days. 21Many plans are in a person’s heart,
But the advice of the LORD will stand. 22What is desirable in a person is his kindness,
And it is better to be a poor person than a liar. 23The fear of the LORD leads to life,
So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil. 24The lazy one buries his hand in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth. 25Strike a scoffer and the naive may become clever,
But rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge. 26He who assaults his father and drives his mother away
Is a shameful and disgraceful son. 27Stop listening, my son, to discipline,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge. 28A worthless witness makes a mockery of justice,
And the mouth of the wicked swallows wrongdoing. 29Judgments are prepared for scoffers,
And beatings for the backs of fools.
