Mishle 22:11-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. He that loveth tahor lev (a pure heart), for the chen (grace) on his sfatayim (lips) the Melech shall be his re'a (friend).

12. The eynayim of Hashem preserve da'as, and He overthroweth the devarim of the boged (unfaithful, treacherous, traitor).

13. The atzel (sluggard, lazy one) saith, There is an ari (lion) outside; I shall be murdered in the streets.

14. The peh (mouth) of zarot (strange women) is a deep pit; he that is under the wrath of Hashem shall fall therein.

15. Folly is bound in the lev na'ar, but the shevet musar (rod of correction) shall drive it far from him.

16. He that oppresseth the dal (poor) in order to increase, and he that giveth to the oisher, shall surely come to machsor (poverty, want).
