13

1 בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם מ֣וּסַר אָ֑ב וְ֝לֵ֗ץ לֹא־שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃ A wise son is instructed of his father; But a scorner heareth not rebuke.

2 מִפְּרִ֣י פִי־אִ֭ישׁ יֹ֣אכַל ט֑וֹב וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ בֹּגְדִ֣ים חָמָֽס׃ A man shall eat good from the fruit of his mouth; But the desire of the faithless is violence.

3 נֹצֵ֣ר פִּ֭יו שֹׁמֵ֣ר נַפְשׁ֑וֹ פֹּשֵׂ֥ק שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו מְחִתָּה־לֽוֹ׃ He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; But for him that openeth wide his lips there shall be ruin.

4 מִתְאַוָּ֣ה וָ֭אַיִן נַפְשׁ֣וֹ עָצֵ֑ל וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ חָרֻצִ֣ים תְּדֻשָּֽׁן׃ The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be abundantly gratified.

5 דְּבַר־שֶׁ֭קֶר יִשְׂנָ֣א צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝רָשָׁ֗ע יַבְאִ֥ישׁ וְיַחְפִּֽיר׃ A righteous man hateth lying; But a wicked man behaveth vilely and shamefully.

6 צְ֭דָקָה תִּצֹּ֣ר תׇּם־דָּ֑רֶךְ וְ֝רִשְׁעָ֗ה תְּסַלֵּ֥ף חַטָּֽאת׃ Righteousness guardeth him that is upright in the way; But wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

7 יֵ֣שׁ מִ֭תְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵ֣ין כֹּ֑ל מִ֝תְרוֹשֵׁ֗שׁ וְה֣וֹן רָֽב׃ There is that pretendeth himself rich, yet hath nothing; There is that pretendeth himself poor, yet hath great wealth.

8 כֹּ֣פֶר נֶפֶשׁ־אִ֣ישׁ עׇשְׁר֑וֹ וְ֝רָ֗שׁ לֹא־שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃ The ransom of a man’s life are his riches; But the poor heareth no threatening.

9 אוֹר־צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִשְׂמָ֑ח וְנֵ֖ר רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִדְעָֽךְ׃ The light of the righteous rejoiceth; But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

10 רַק־בְּ֭זָדוֹן יִתֵּ֣ן מַצָּ֑ה וְאֶת־נ֖וֹעָצִ֣ים חׇכְמָֽה׃ By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.

11 ה֭וֹן מֵהֶ֣בֶל יִמְעָ֑ט וְקֹבֵ֖ץ עַל־יָ֣ד יַרְבֶּֽה׃ Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; But he that gathereth little by little shall increase. .

12 תּוֹחֶ֣לֶת מְ֭מֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה־לֵ֑ב וְעֵ֥ץ חַ֝יִּ֗ים תַּאֲוָ֥ה בָאָֽה׃ Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

13 בָּ֣ז לְ֭דָבָר יֵחָ֣בֶל ל֑וֹ וִירֵ֥א מִ֝צְוָ֗ה ה֣וּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם׃ Whoso despiseth the word shall suffer thereby; But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

14 תּוֹרַ֣ת חָ֭כָם מְק֣וֹר חַיִּ֑ים לָ֝ס֗וּר מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, To depart from the snares of death.

15 שֵֽׂכֶל־ט֭וֹב יִתֶּן־חֵ֑ן וְדֶ֖רֶךְ בֹּגְדִ֣ים אֵיתָֽן׃ Good understanding giveth grace; But the way of the faithless is harsh.

16 כׇּל־עָ֭רוּם יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה בְדָ֑עַת וּ֝כְסִ֗יל יִפְרֹ֥שׂ אִוֶּֽלֶת׃ Every prudent man dealeth with forethought; But a fool unfoldeth folly.

17 מַלְאָ֣ךְ רָ֭שָׁע יִפֹּ֣ל בְּרָ֑ע וְצִ֖יר אֱמוּנִ֣ים מַרְפֵּֽא׃ A wicked messenger falleth into evil; But a faithful ambassador is health.

18 רֵ֣ישׁ וְ֭קָלוֹן פּוֹרֵ֣עַ מוּסָ֑ר וְשֹׁמֵ֖ר תּוֹכַ֣חַת יְכֻבָּֽד׃ Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

19 תַּאֲוָ֣ה נִ֭הְיָה תֶּעֱרַ֣ב לְנָ֑פֶשׁ וְתוֹעֲבַ֥ת כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים ס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃ The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; And it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

20 (הלוך) [הוֹלֵ֣ךְ] אֶת־חֲכָמִ֣ים (וחכם) [יֶחְכָּ֑ם] וְרֹעֶ֖ה כְסִילִ֣ים יֵרֽוֹעַ׃ He that walketh with wise men shall be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it.

21 חַ֭טָּאִים תְּרַדֵּ֣ף רָעָ֑ה וְאֶת־צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יְשַׁלֶּם־טֽוֹב׃ Evil pursueth sinners; But to the righteous good shall be repaid.

22 ט֗וֹב יַנְחִ֥יל בְּנֵֽי־בָנִ֑ים וְצָפ֥וּן לַ֝צַּדִּ֗יק חֵ֣יל חוֹטֵֽא׃ A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

23 רׇב־אֹ֭כֶל נִ֣יר רָאשִׁ֑ים וְיֵ֥שׁ נִ֝סְפֶּ֗ה בְּלֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ Much food is in the tillage of the poor; But there is that is swept away by want of righteousness.

24 חוֹשֵׂ֣ךְ שִׁ֭בְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵ֣א בְנ֑וֹ וְ֝אֹהֲב֗וֹ שִׁחֲר֥וֹ מוּסָֽר׃ He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

25 צַדִּ֗יק אֹ֭כֵֽל לְשֹׂ֣בַע נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּבֶ֖טֶן רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֶּחְסָֽר׃ The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his desire; But the belly of the wicked shall want.

Commentary on Proverbs 13:8

Rashi

English

The ransom of a man’s soul is his wealth A man’s wealth is the ransom of his soul, for he performed charity with it.

as long as the poor man has not heard a rebuke As long as he does not let the poor man hear a rebuke, i.e., he gives to him and does not embarrass him. Another explanation: The ransom of a man’s soul is his wealth His Torah.

but a poor man in the words of Torah, did not hear a rebuke He does not know to turn away from evil, since he is not cautious. The Midrash Aggadah interprets it as speaking of the half-shekel, which Scripture levied on all Israel and made the poor and the rich equal in that respect—so that the poor does not hear a rebuke from the rich, saying to him, “My share is greater than your share in the public sacrifices.”
