Yaakov 3:13-18 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

13. Who has chochmah and binah among you? Let him show by his hitnahagut hatovah (good conduct) that the ma'asim of him are of the shiflut (lowliness) of chochmah.

14. But if bitter kina (jealousy) you have and anochiyut (selfishness) in your levavot, do not boast and speak sheker against HaEmes.

15. This is not the Chochmah coming down and descending from above, but is of the Olam Hazeh, of this world and of shedim.

16. For where kina and anochiyut are, there is tohu vavohu (disorder, chaos) and every ra'ah.

17. But the chochmah from above is berishonah (in the first place) tehorah (pure), then ohevet shalom (peaceloving), then eidel (gentle) and considerate, then full of rachamim and p'ri tov, and without maso panim and tzevi'ut.

18. And the p'ri haTzedek is shalom sown by the ones making shalom. (Prov 11:18; Isa 32:17; Hos 10:12]
