KJV

1  He,³⁷⁶ that being often reproved⁸⁴³³ hardeneth⁷¹⁸⁵ his neck,⁶²⁰³ shall suddenly⁶⁶²¹ be destroyed,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and that without³⁶⁹ remedy.⁴⁸³²

2  When the righteous⁶⁶⁶² are in authority,⁷²³⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ rejoice:⁸⁰⁵⁵ but when the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ beareth rule,⁴⁹¹⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ mourn.⁵⁸⁴

3  Whoso³⁷⁶ loveth¹⁵⁷ wisdom²⁴⁵¹ rejoiceth⁸⁰⁵⁵ his father:¹ but he that keepeth company⁷⁴⁶² with harlots²¹⁸¹ spendeth⁶ his substance.¹⁹⁵²

4  The king⁴⁴²⁸ by judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ establisheth⁵⁹⁷⁵ the land:⁷⁷⁶ but he³⁷⁶ that receiveth gifts⁸⁶⁴¹ overthroweth²⁰⁴⁰ it.

5  A man¹³⁹⁷ that flattereth^{2505 5921} his neighbor⁷⁴⁵³ spreadeth⁶⁵⁶⁶ a net⁷⁵⁶⁸ for⁵⁹²¹ his feet.⁶⁴⁷¹

6  In the transgression⁶⁵⁸⁸ of an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ man³⁷⁶ there is a snare:⁴¹⁷⁰ but the righteous⁶⁶⁶² doth sing⁷⁴⁴² and rejoice.⁸⁰⁵⁵

7  The righteous⁶⁶⁶² considereth³⁰⁴⁵ the cause¹⁷⁷⁹ of the poor:¹⁸⁰⁰ but the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ regardeth⁹⁹⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ to know¹⁸⁴⁷ it.

8  Scornful³⁹⁴⁴ men³⁷⁶ bring a city into a snare:^{6315 7151} but wise²⁴⁵⁰ men turn away⁷⁷²⁵ wrath.⁶³⁹

9  If a wise²⁴⁵⁰ man³⁷⁶ contendeth⁸¹⁹⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ a foolish¹⁹¹ man,³⁷⁶ whether he rage⁷²⁶⁴ or laugh,⁷⁸³² there is no³⁶⁹ rest.⁵¹⁸³

10  The bloodthirsty^{376 1818} hate⁸¹³⁰ the upright:⁸⁵³⁵ but the just³⁴⁷⁷ seek¹²⁴⁵ his soul.⁵³¹⁵

11  A fool³⁶⁸⁴ uttereth³³¹⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ his mind:⁷³⁰⁷ but a wise²⁴⁵⁰ man keepeth⁷⁶²³ it in till afterwards.²⁶⁸

12  If a ruler⁴⁹¹⁰ hearken⁷¹⁸¹ to⁵⁹²¹ lies,^{1697 8267} all³⁶⁰⁵ his servants⁸³³⁴ are wicked.⁷⁵⁶³

13  The poor⁷³²⁶ and the deceitful⁸⁵⁰¹ man³⁷⁶ meet together:⁶²⁹⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ lighteneth²¹⁵ both⁸¹⁴⁷ their eyes.⁵⁸⁶⁹

14  The king⁴⁴²⁸ that faithfully⁵⁷¹ judgeth⁸¹⁹⁹ the poor,¹⁸⁰⁰ his throne³⁶⁷⁸ shall be established³⁵⁵⁹ forever.⁵⁷⁰³

15  The rod⁷⁶²⁶ and reproof⁸⁴³³ give⁵⁴¹⁴ wisdom:²⁴⁵¹ but a child⁵²⁸⁸ left⁷⁹⁷¹ to himself bringeth his mother⁵¹⁷ to shame.⁹⁵⁴

16  When the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ are multiplied,⁷²³⁵ transgression⁶⁵⁸⁸ increaseth:⁷²³⁵ but the righteous⁶⁶⁶² shall see⁷²⁰⁰ their fall.⁴⁶⁵⁸

17  Correct³²⁵⁶ thy son,¹¹²¹ and he shall give thee rest;⁵¹¹⁷ yea, he shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ delight⁴⁵⁷⁴ unto thy soul.⁵³¹⁵

18  Where there is no³⁶⁹ vision,²³⁷⁷ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ perish:⁶⁵⁴⁴ but he that keepeth⁸¹⁰⁴ the law,⁸⁴⁵¹ happy⁸³⁵ is he.

19  A servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ will not³⁸⁰⁸ be corrected³²⁵⁶ by words:¹⁶⁹⁷ for though³⁵⁸⁸ he understand⁹⁹⁵ he will not³⁶⁹ answer.⁴⁶¹⁷

20  Seest²³⁷² thou a man³⁷⁶ that is hasty²¹³ in his words?¹⁶⁹⁷ there is more hope⁸⁶¹⁵ of a fool³⁶⁸⁴ than of⁴⁴⁸⁰ him.

21  He that delicately bringeth up⁶⁴⁴⁵ his servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ from a child^{4480 5290} shall have him become¹⁹⁶¹ his son⁴⁴⁹⁷ at the length.³¹⁹

22  An angry⁶³⁹ man³⁷⁶ stirreth up¹⁶²⁴ strife,⁴⁰⁶⁶ and a furious²⁵³⁴ man¹¹⁶⁷ aboundeth⁷²²⁷ in transgression.⁶⁵⁸⁸

23  A man's¹²⁰ pride¹³⁴⁶ shall bring him low:⁸²¹³ but honor³⁵¹⁹ shall uphold⁸⁵⁵¹ the humble⁸²¹⁷ in spirit.⁷³⁰⁷

24  Whoso is partner²⁵⁰⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ a thief¹⁵⁹⁰ hateth⁸¹³⁰ his own soul:⁵³¹⁵ he heareth⁸⁰⁸⁵ cursing,⁴²³ and betrayeth⁵⁰⁴⁶ it not.³⁸⁰⁸

25  The fear²⁷³¹ of man¹²⁰ bringeth⁵⁴¹⁴ a snare:⁴¹⁷⁰ but whoso putteth his trust⁹⁸² in the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall be safe.⁷⁶⁸²

26  Many⁷²²⁷ seek¹²⁴⁵ the ruler's⁴⁹¹⁰ favor;⁶⁴⁴⁰ but every man's³⁷⁶ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ cometh from the LORD.^{4480 3068}

27  An unjust⁵⁷⁶⁶ man³⁷⁶ is an abomination⁸⁴⁴¹ to the just:⁶⁶⁶² and he that is upright³⁴⁷⁷ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ is abomination⁸⁴⁴¹ to the wicked.⁷⁵⁶³

Vul

1 [Viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit,
repentinus ei superveniet interitus,
et eum sanitas non sequetur.

2 In multiplicatione justorum lætabitur vulgus;
cum impii sumpserint principatum, gemet populus.

3 Vir qui amat sapientiam lætificat patrem suum;
qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam.

4 Rex justus erigit terram;
vir avarus destruet eam.

5 Homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo
rete expandit gressibus ejus.

6 Peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus,
et justus laudabit atque gaudebit.

7 Novit justus causam pauperum;
impius ignorat scientiam.

8 Homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem;
sapientes vero avertunt furorem.

9 Vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit,
sive irascatur, sive rideat, non inveniet requiem.

10 Viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem;
justi autem quærunt animam ejus.

11 Totum spiritum suum profert stultus;
sapiens differt, et reservat in posterum.

12 Princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii,
omnes ministros habet impios.

13 Pauper et creditor obviaverunt sibi:
utriusque illuminator est Dominus.

14 Rex qui judicat in veritate pauperes,
thronus ejus in æternum firmabitur.]

15 [Virga atque correptio tribuit sapientiam;
puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suæ confundit matrem suam.

16 In multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera,
et justi ruinas eorum videbunt.

17 Erudi filium tuum, et refrigerabit te,
et dabit delicias animæ tuæ.

18 Cum prophetia defecerit, dissipabitur populus;
qui vero custodit legem beatus est.

19 Servus verbis non potest erudiri,
quia quod dicis intelligit, et respondere contemnit.

20 Vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum?
stultitia magis speranda est quam illius correptio.

21 Qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum
postea sentiet eum contumacem.]

22 [Vir iracundus provocat rixas,
et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccandum proclivior.

23 Superbum sequitur humilitas,
et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria.

24 Qui cum fure participat odit animam suam;
adjurantem audit, et non indicat.

25 Qui timet hominem cito corruet;
qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur.

26 Multi requirunt faciem principis,
et judicium a Domino egreditur singulorum.

27 Abominantur justi virum impium,
et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via.
Verbum custodiens filius
extra perditionem erit.]
