The proverbs H4912 of Solomon. H8010 A wise H2450 son H1121 makes a glad H8056 father: H1 but a foolish H3684 son H1121 is the heaviness H8424 of his mother. H517

A wise H2450 son H1121 makes a glad H8056 father: H1 but a foolish H3684 man H120 despises H959 his mother. H517

He that begets H3205 a fool H3684 does it to his sorrow: H8424 and the father H1 of a fool H5036 has no H3808 joy. H8056

A foolish H3684 son H1121 is a grief H3708 to his father, H1 and bitterness H4470 to her that bore H3205 him.

And it came H1961 to pass after H310 this, H3651 that Absalom H53 the son H1121 of David H1732 had a fair H3303 sister, H269 whose name H8034 was Tamar; H8559 and Amnon H550 the son H1121 of David H1732 loved H157 her.

But Amnon H550 had a friend, H7453 whose name H8034 was Jonadab, H3122 the son H1121 of Shimeah H8093 David's H1732 brother: H251 and Jonadab H3122 was a very H3966 subtle H2450 man. H376

And Jonadab H3122 said H559 to him, Lay H7901 you down H7901 on H5921 your bed, H4904 and make yourself sick: H2470 and when your father H1 comes H935 to see H7200 you, say H559 to him, I pray H4994 you, let my sister H269 Tamar H8559 come, H935 and give H1262 me meat, H3899 and dress H6213 the meat H1279 in my sight, H5869 that I may see H7200 it, and eat H398 it at her hand. H3027

Then David H1732 sent H7971 home H1004 to Tamar, H8559 saying, H559 Go H3212 now H4994 to your brother H251 Amnon's H550 house, H1004 and dress H6213 him meat. H1279

And she took H3947 a pan, H4958 and poured H3332 them out before H6440 him; but he refused H3985 to eat. H398 And Amnon H550 said, H559 Have H3318 out all H3605 men H376 from me. And they went H3318 out every man H376 from him.

And when she had brought H5066 them to him to eat, H398 he took hold H2388 of her, and said H559 to her, Come H935 lie H7901 with me, my sister. H269

And I, where H575 shall I cause my shame H2781 to go? H3212 and as for you, you shall be as one H259 of the fools H5036 in Israel. H3478 Now H6258 therefore, I pray H4994 you, speak H1696 to the king; H4428 for he will not withhold H4513 me from you.

Then Amnon H550 hated H8130 her exceedingly; H1419 H3966 so that the hatred H8135 with which H834 he hated H8130 her was greater H1419 than the love H160 with which H834 he had loved H157 her. And Amnon H550 said H559 to her, Arise, H6965 be gone. H3212

Then he called H7121 his servant H5288 that ministered H8334 to him, and said, H559 Put H7971 now H4994 this H2063 woman out from me, and bolt H5274 the door H1817 after H310 her.

Yes, I hated H8130 all H3605 my labor H5999 which I had taken H6001 under H8478 the sun: H8121 because I should leave H5117 it to the man H120 that shall be after H310 me.

And who H4310 knows H3045 whether he shall be a wise H2450 man or H176 a fool? H5530 yet shall he have rule H7980 over all H3605 my labor H5999 wherein I have labored, H5998 and wherein I have showed myself wise H2449 under H8478 the sun. H8121 This H2088 is also H1571 vanity. H1892

It is better H2896 to dwell H3427 in a corner H6438 of the housetop, H1406 than with a brawling H4090 woman H802 in a wide H2267 house. H1004

It is better H2896 to dwell H3427 in the wilderness, H4057 than with a contentious H4066 and an angry H3708 woman. H802

It is better H2896 to dwell H3427 in the corner H6438 of the housetop, H1406 than with a brawling H4090 woman H802 and in a wide H2267 house. H1004

A continual H2956 dropping H1812 in a very H5464 rainy H5464 day H3117 and a contentious H4066 woman H802 are alike. H7737

The waters H4325 wear H7833 the stones: H68 you wash H7857 away the things which grow H5599 out of the dust H6083 of the earth; H776 and you destroy H6 the hope H8615 of man. H582
