Versliste
The slothfulH6102 man saithH559, There is a lionH7826 in the wayH1870; a lionH738 is in the streetsH7339.
As the doorH1817 turnethH5437 upon his hingesH6735, so doth the slothfulH6102 upon his bedH4296.
The slothfulH6102 hidethH2934 his handH3027 in his bosomH6747; it grievethH3811 him to bring it againH7725 to his mouthH6310. {it grieveth…: or, he is weary}
The sluggardH6102 is wiserH2450 in his own conceitH5869 than seven menH7651 that can renderH7725 a reasonH2940.
GoH3212 to the antH5244, thou sluggardH6102; considerH7200 her waysH1870, and be wiseH2449:
Which having no guideH7101, overseerH7860, or rulerH4910,
ProvidethH3559 her meatH3899 in the summerH7019, and gatherethH103 her foodH3978 in the harvestH7105.
How long wilt thou sleepH7901, O sluggardH6102? when wilt thou ariseH6965 out of thy sleepH8142?
Yet a littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to sleepH7901:
So shall thy povertyH7389 comeH935 as one that travellethH1980, and thy wantH4270 as an armedH4043 manH376.
I wentH5674 by the fieldH7704 of the slothfulH376+H6102, and by the vineyardH3754 of the manH120 voidH2638 of understandingH3820;
And, lo, it was all grown overH5927 with thornsH7063, and nettlesH2738 had coveredH3680 the faceH6440 thereof, and the stoneH68 wallH1444 thereof was broken downH2040.
Then I sawH2372, and considered it wellH7896+H3820: I lookedH7200 upon it, and receivedH3947 instructionH4148. {considered…: Heb. set my heart}
Yet a littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to sleepH7901:
So shall thy povertyH7389 comeH935 as one that travellethH1980; and thy wantH4270 as an armedH4043 manH376. {an…: Heb. a man of shield}
The slothfulH6102 man saithH559, There is a lionH738 withoutH2351, I shall be slainH7523 inH8432 the streetsH7339.
Be soberG3525, be vigilantG1127; becauseG3754 yourG5216 adversaryG476 the devilG1228, asG5613 a roaringG5612 lionG3023, walketh aboutG4043, seekingG2212 whomG5101 he may devourG2666:
BetterH2896 is the poorH7326 that walkethH1980 in his integrityH8537, than he that is perverseH6141 in his lipsH8193, and is a foolH3684.
Also, that the soulH5315 be without knowledgeH1847, it is not goodH2896; and he that hastethH213 with his feetH7272 sinnethH2398.
The foolishnessH200 of manH120 pervertethH5557 his wayH1870: and his heartH3820 frettethH2196 against the LORDH3068.
WealthH1952 makethH3254 manyH7227 friendsH7453; but the poorH1800 is separatedH6504 from his neighbourH7453.
A falseH8267 witnessH5707 shall not be unpunishedH5352, and he that speakethH6315 liesH3577 shall not escapeH4422. {unpunished: Heb. held innocent}
ManyH7227 will intreatH2470 the favourH6440 of the princeH5081: and every man is a friendH7453 to himH376 that giveth giftsH4976. {him…: Heb. a man of gifts}
All the brethrenH251 of the poorH7326 do hateH8130 him: how much more do his friendsH4828 go farH7368 from him? he pursuethH7291 them with wordsH561, yet they are wanting to him.
He that gettethH7069 wisdomH3820 lovethH157 his own soulH5315: he that keepethH8104 understandingH8394 shall findH4672 goodH2896. {wisdom: Heb. an heart}
A falseH8267 witnessH5707 shall not be unpunishedH5352, and he that speakethH6315 liesH3577 shall perishH6.
DelightH8588 is not seemlyH5000 for a foolH3684; much less for a servantH5650 to have ruleH4910 over princesH8269.
The discretionH7922 of a manH120 deferrethH748 his angerH639; and it is his gloryH8597 to pass overH5674 a transgressionH6588. {discretion: or, prudence}
The king'sH4428 wrathH2197 is as the roaringH5099 of a lionH3715; but his favourH7522 is as dewH2919 upon the grassH6212.
A foolishH3684 sonH1121 is the calamityH1942 of his fatherH1: and the contentionsH4079 of a wifeH802 are a continualH2956 droppingH1812.
HouseH1004 and richesH1952 are the inheritanceH5159 of fathersH1: and a prudentH7919 wifeH802 is from the LORDH3068.
SlothfulnessH6103 castethH5307 into a deep sleepH8639; and an idleH7423 soulH5315 shall suffer hungerH7456.
He that keepethH8104 the commandmentH4687 keepethH8104 his own soulH5315; but he that despisethH959 his waysH1870 shall dieH4191.
He that hath pityH2603 upon the poorH1800 lendethH3867 unto the LORDH3068; and that which he hath givenH1576 will he pay him againH7999. {that which…: or, his deed}
ChastenH3256 thy sonH1121 while there isH3426 hopeH8615, and let not thy soulH5315 spareH5375 for his cryingH4191. {for…: or, to his destruction: or, to cause him to die}
A manH1419 of greatH1632 wrathH2534 shall sufferH5375 punishmentH6066: for if thou deliverH5337 him, yet thou must do it againH3254. {do: Heb. add}
HearH8085 counselH6098, and receiveH6901 instructionH4148, that thou mayest be wiseH2449 in thy latter endH319.
There are manyH7227 devicesH4284 in a man'sH376 heartH3820; nevertheless the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that shall standH6965.
The desireH8378 of a manH120 is his kindnessH2617: and a poor manH7326 is betterH2896 thanH376 a liarH3577.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 tendeth to lifeH2416: and he that hath it shall abideH3885 satisfiedH7649; he shall not be visitedH6485 with evilH7451.
A slothfulH6102 man hidethH2934 his handH3027 in his bosomH6747, and will not so much as bringH7725 it to his mouthH6310 againH7725.
SmiteH5221 a scornerH3887, and the simpleH6612 will bewareH6191: and reproveH3198 one that hath understandingH995, and he will understandH995 knowledgeH1847. {will beware: Heb. will be cunning}
He that wastethH7703 his fatherH1, and chaseth awayH1272 his motherH517, is a sonH1121 that causeth shameH954, and bringeth reproachH2659.
CeaseH2308, my sonH1121, to hearH8085 the instructionH4148 that causeth to errH7686 from the wordsH561 of knowledgeH1847.
An ungodlyH1100 witnessH5707 scornethH3887 judgmentH4941: and the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 iniquityH205. {An…: Heb. A witness of Belial}
JudgmentsH8201 are preparedH3559 for scornersH3887, and stripesH4112 for the backH1460 of foolsH3684.
A slothfulH6102 man hidethH2934 his handH3027 in his bosomH6747, and will not so much as bringH7725 it to his mouthH6310 againH7725.
ForasmuchH1768+H6903 asH3606 thou art sentH7972 ofH4481+H6925 the kingH4430, and of his sevenH7655 counsellorsH3272, to enquireH1240 concerningH5922 JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390, according to the lawH1882 of thy GodH426 which is in thine handH3028; {of the king: Chaldee, from before the king}
And the nextH7138 unto him was CarshenaH3771, ShetharH8369, AdmathaH133, TarshishH8659, MeresH4825, MarsenaH4826, and MemucanH4462, the sevenH7651 princesH8269 of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074, which sawH7200 the king'sH4428 faceH6440, and which satH3427 the firstH7223 in the kingdomH4438;)
What shall we doH6213 unto the queenH4436 VashtiH2060 according to lawH1881, because she hath not performedH6213 the commandmentH3982 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 byH3027 the chamberlainsH5631? {What…: Heb. What to do}
