New Testament

Mishle 20:1-5 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. The yayin is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; and whosoever is seduced to be led astray thereby is not wise.

2. The wrath of a melech is as the roaring of a lion; he who provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own nefesh.

3. It is kavod for an ish to cease from strife, but any fool can start a quarrel.

4. The atzel (sluggard, lazy one) will not plow by reason of choref (winter, cold); therefore shall he beg at katzir (harvest), and have nothing.

5. Etzah (purpose; see Yn 2:24-25 ) in the lev ish is like deep mayim, but an ish tevunah will draw it out.
