1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. 3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. 4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. 5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. 6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it . 8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. 9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. 10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. 11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. 12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. 13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes. 14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. 15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. 16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. 17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. 19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. 20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. 22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. 23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. 24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. 25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. 26 Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD. 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
1 viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit
repentinus superveniet interitus
et eum sanitas non sequitur
2 in multiplicatione iustorum laetabitur vulgus
cum impii sumpserint principatum gemet populus
3 vir qui amat sapientiam laetificat patrem suum
qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam
4 rex iustus erigit terram vir avarus destruet eam
5 homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo
rete expandit gressibus eius
6 peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus
et iustus laudabit atque gaudebit
7 novit iustus causam pauperum impius ignorat scientiam
8 homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem
sapientes avertunt furorem
9 vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit
sive irascatur sive rideat non inveniet requiem
10 viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem
iusti quaerunt animam eius
11 totum spiritum suum profert stultus
sapiens differt et reservat in posterum
12 princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii
omnes ministros habebit impios
13 pauper et creditor obviam fuerunt sibi
utriusque inluminator est Dominus
14 rex qui iudicat in veritate pauperes
thronus eius in aeternum firmabitur
15 virga atque correptio tribuet sapientiam
puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suae
confundet matrem suam
16 in multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera
et iusti ruinas eorum videbunt
17 erudi filium tuum et refrigerabit te
et dabit delicias animae tuae
18 cum prophetia defecerit dissipabitur populus
qui custodit legem beatus est
19 servus verbis non potest erudiri
quia quod dicis intellegit et respondere contemnit
20 vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum
stulti magis speranda est quam illius correptio
21 qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum
postea illum sentiet contumacem
22 vir iracundus provocat rixas
et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccata
proclivior
23 superbum sequitur humilitas et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria
24 qui cum fure partitur odit animam suam
adiurantem audit et non indicat
25 qui timet hominem cito corruet qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur
26 multi requirunt faciem principis
et a Domino iudicium egreditur singulorum
27 abominantur iusti virum impium
et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via
