- 6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.צִדְקַ֣ת יְ֭שָׁרִים תַּצִּילֵ֑ם וּ֝בְהַוַּ֗ת בֹּגְדִ֥ים יִלָּכֵֽדוּ
- 7When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.בְּמ֤וֹת אָדָ֣ם רָ֭שָׁע תֹּאבַ֣ד תִּקְוָ֑ה וְתוֹחֶ֖לֶת אוֹנִ֣ים אָבָֽדָה

- 11By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.בְּבִרְכַּ֣ת יְ֭שָׁרִים תָּר֣וּם קָ֑רֶת וּבְפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים תֵּהָרֵֽס
- 12He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.בָּז לְרֵעֵ֥הוּ חֲסַר לֵ֑ב וְאִ֖ישׁ תְּבוּנ֣וֹת יַחֲרִֽישׁ
- 13A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.הוֹלֵ֣ךְ רָ֭כִיל מְגַלֶּה סּ֑וֹד וְנֶאֱמַן ר֝֗וּחַ מְכַסֶּ֥ה דָבָֽר

- 17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.גֹּמֵ֣ל נַ֭פְשׁוֹ אִ֣ישׁ חָ֑סֶד וְעֹכֵ֥ר שְׁ֝אֵר֗וֹ אַכְזָרִֽי
- 18The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.רָשָׁ֗ע עֹשֶׂ֥ה פְעֻלַּת שָׁ֑קֶר וְזֹרֵ֥עַ צְ֝דָקָ֗ה שֶׂ֣כֶר אֱמֶֽת
- 19As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.כֵּן צְדָקָ֥ה לְחַיִּ֑ים וּמְרַדֵּ֖ף רָעָ֣ה לְמוֹתֽוֹ
- 20They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה עִקְּשֵׁי לֵ֑ב וּ֝רְצוֹנ֗וֹ תְּמִ֣ימֵי דָֽרֶךְ

- 22As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.נֶ֣זֶם זָ֭הָב בְּאַ֣ף חֲזִ֑יר אִשָּׁ֥ה יָ֝פָ֗ה וְסָ֣רַת טָֽעַם
- 23The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.תַּאֲוַ֣ת צַדִּיקִ֣ים אַךְ ט֑וֹב תִּקְוַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים עֶבְרָֽה
- 24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.יֵ֣שׁ מְ֭פַזֵּר וְנוֹסָ֥ף ע֑וֹד וְחוֹשֵׂ֥ךְ מִ֝יֹּ֗שֶׁר אַךְ לְמַחְסֽוֹר
- 25The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.נֶֽפֶשׁ בְּרָכָ֥ה תְדֻשָּׁ֑ן וּ֝מַרְוֶ֗ה גַּם ה֥וּא יוֹרֶֽא
- 26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.מֹ֣נֵֽעַ בָּ֭ר יִקְּבֻ֣הוּ לְא֑וֹם וּ֝בְרָכָ֗ה לְרֹ֣אשׁ מַשְׁבִּֽיר
- 27He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.שֹׁ֣חֵֽר ט֭וֹב יְבַקֵּ֣שׁ רָצ֑וֹן וְדֹרֵ֖שׁ רָעָ֣ה תְבוֹאֶֽנּוּ
- 28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.בּוֹטֵ֣חַ בְּ֭עָשְׁרוֹ ה֣וּא יִפֹּ֑ל וְ֝כֶעָלֶ֗ה צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִפְרָֽחוּ
- 29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.עוֹכֵ֣ר בֵּ֭יתוֹ יִנְחַל ר֑וּחַ וְעֶ֥בֶד אֱ֝וִ֗יל לַחֲכַם לֵֽב
- 30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.פְּֽרִי צַ֭דִּיק עֵ֣ץ חַיִּ֑ים וְלֹקֵ֖חַ נְפָשׂ֣וֹת חָכָֽם
- 31Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.הֵ֣ן צַ֭דִּיק בָּאָ֣רֶץ יְשֻׁלָּ֑ם אַ֝֗ף כִּֽי רָשָׁ֥ע וְחוֹטֵֽא

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
