Mishle 20:10-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

10. Differing weights, and differing measures, both of them are alike to'evah to Hashem.

11. Even a na'ar (child) is known by his ways, whether his conduct be pure, and whether it be yashar (right).

12. The hearing ozen, and the seeing ayin, Hashem hath made even both of them.

13. Love not sheynah (sleep), lest thou come to poverty; open thine eynayim, and thou shalt have enough lechem.

14. It is good for nothing, it is naught, saith the koneh (buyer), but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

15. There is zahav, and a multitude of rubies, but the sfatayim (lips) of da'as are a precious jewel.

16. Take his garment that is guaranty for a zar (stranger), and hold it as his pledge for a nokhriyah (foreign woman, strange woman, seductress).
