Proverbs 3

KJV

1  My son,¹¹²¹ forget⁷⁹¹¹ not⁴⁰⁸ my law;⁸⁴⁵¹ but let thine heart³⁸²⁰ keep⁵³⁴¹ my commandments:⁴⁶⁸⁷

2  For³⁵⁸⁸ length⁷⁵³ of days,³¹¹⁷ and long⁸¹⁴¹ life,²⁴¹⁶ and peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ shall they add³²⁵⁴ to thee.

3  Let not⁴⁰⁸ mercy²⁶¹⁷ and truth⁵⁷¹ forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ thee: bind⁷¹⁹⁴ them about⁵⁹²¹ thy neck;¹⁶²¹ write³⁷⁸⁹ them upon⁵⁹²¹ the table³⁸⁷¹ of thine heart:³⁸²⁰

4  So shalt thou find⁴⁶⁷² favor²⁵⁸⁰ and good²⁸⁹⁶ understanding⁷⁹²² in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of God⁴³⁰ and man.¹²⁰

5  Trust⁹⁸² in⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with all³⁶⁰⁵ thine heart;³⁸²⁰ and lean⁸¹⁷² not⁴⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ thine own understanding.⁹⁹⁸

6  In all³⁶⁰⁵ thy ways¹⁸⁷⁰ acknowledge³⁰⁴⁵ him, and he¹⁹³¹ shall direct³⁴⁷⁴ thy paths.⁷³⁴

7  Be¹⁹⁶¹ not⁴⁰⁸ wise²⁴⁵⁰ in thine own eyes:⁵⁸⁶⁹ fear^{3372 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and depart⁵⁴⁹³ from evil.^{4480 7451}

8  It shall be¹⁹⁶¹ health⁷⁵⁰⁰ to thy navel,⁸²⁷⁰ and marrow⁸²⁵⁰ to thy bones.⁶¹⁰⁶

9  Honor^{3513 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with thy substance,^{4480 1952} and with the firstfruits^{4480 7225} of all³⁶⁰⁵ thine increase:⁸³⁹³

10  So shall thy barns⁶¹⁸ be filled⁴³⁹⁰ with plenty,⁷⁶⁴⁷ and thy presses³³⁴² shall burst out⁶⁵⁵⁵ with new wine.⁸⁴⁹²

11  My son,¹¹²¹ despise³⁹⁸⁸ not⁴⁰⁸ the chastening⁴¹⁴⁸ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ neither⁴⁰⁸ be weary⁶⁹⁷³ of his correction:⁸⁴³³

12  For^{3588 853} whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ loveth¹⁵⁷ he correcteth;³¹⁹⁸ even as a father^{1 853} the son¹¹²¹ in whom he delighteth.⁷⁵²¹

13  Happy⁸³⁵ is the man¹²⁰ that findeth⁴⁶⁷² wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ and the man¹²⁰ that getteth⁶³²⁹ understanding.⁸³⁹⁴

14  For³⁵⁸⁸ the merchandise⁵⁵⁰⁴ of it is better²⁸⁹⁶ than the merchandise^{4480 5505} of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and the gain⁸³⁹³ thereof than fine gold.^{4480 2742}

15  She¹⁹³¹ is more precious³³⁶⁸ than rubies:^{4480 6443} and all³⁶⁰⁵ the things thou canst desire²⁶⁵⁶ are not³⁸⁰⁸ to be compared⁷⁷³⁷ unto her.

16  Length⁷⁵³ of days³¹¹⁷ is in her right hand;³²²⁵ and in her left hand⁸⁰⁴⁰ riches⁶²³⁹ and honor.³⁵¹⁹

17  Her ways¹⁸⁷⁰ are ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of pleasantness,⁵²⁷⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ her paths⁵⁴¹⁰ are peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

18  She¹⁹³¹ is a tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ of life²⁴¹⁶ to them that lay hold²³⁸⁸ upon her: and happy⁸³³ is every one that retaineth⁸⁵⁵¹ her.

19  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ by wisdom²⁴⁵¹ hath founded³²⁴⁵ the earth;⁷⁷⁶ by understanding⁸³⁹⁴ hath he established³⁵⁵⁹ the heavens.⁸⁰⁶⁴

20  By his knowledge¹⁸⁴⁷ the depths⁸⁴¹⁵ are broken up,¹²³⁴ and the clouds⁷⁸³⁴ drop down⁷⁴⁹¹ the dew.²⁹¹⁹

21  My son,¹¹²¹ let not⁴⁰⁸ them depart³⁸⁶⁸ from thine eyes:^{4480 5869} keep⁵³⁴¹ sound wisdom⁸⁴⁵⁴ and discretion:⁴²⁰⁹

22  So shall they be¹⁹⁶¹ life²⁴¹⁶ unto thy soul,⁵³¹⁵ and grace²⁵⁸⁰ to thy neck.¹⁶²¹

23  Then²²⁷ shalt thou walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in thy way¹⁸⁷⁰ safely,⁹⁸³ and thy foot⁷²⁷² shall not³⁸⁰⁸ stumble.⁵⁰⁶²

24  When⁵¹⁸ thou liest down,⁷⁹⁰¹ thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ be afraid:⁶³⁴² yea, thou shalt lie down,⁷⁹⁰¹ and thy sleep⁸¹⁴² shall be sweet.⁶¹⁴⁹

25  Be not⁴⁰⁸ afraid³³⁷² of sudden⁶⁵⁹⁷ fear,^{4480 6343} neither of the desolation^{4480 7722} of the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ when³⁵⁸⁸ it cometh.⁹³⁵

26  For³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ thy confidence,³⁶⁸⁹ and shall keep⁸¹⁰⁴ thy foot⁷²⁷² from being taken.^{4480 3921}

27  Withhold⁴⁵¹³ not⁴⁰⁸ good²⁸⁹⁶ from them to whom it is due,^{4480 1167} when it is¹⁹⁶¹ in the power⁴¹⁰ of thine hand³⁰²⁷ to do⁶²¹³ it.

28  Say⁵⁵⁹ not⁴⁰⁸ unto thy neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ and come again,⁷⁷²⁵ and tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ I will give;⁵⁴¹⁴ when thou hast³⁴²⁶ it by⁸⁵⁴ thee.

29  Devise²⁷⁹⁰ not⁴⁰⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against⁵⁹²¹ thy neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ seeing he¹⁹³¹ dwelleth³⁴²⁷ securely⁹⁸³ by⁸⁵⁴ thee.

30  Strive⁷³⁷⁸ not⁴⁰⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ a man¹²⁰ without cause,²⁶⁰⁰ if⁵¹⁸ he have done¹⁵⁸⁰ thee no³⁸⁰⁸ harm.⁷⁴⁵¹

31  Envy⁷⁰⁶⁵ thou not⁴⁰⁸ the oppressor,^{376 2555} and choose⁹⁷⁷ none^{408 3605} of his ways.¹⁸⁷⁰

32  For³⁵⁸⁸ the froward³⁸⁶⁸ is abomination⁸⁴⁴¹ to the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ but his secret⁵⁴⁷⁵ is with⁸⁵⁴ the righteous.³⁴⁷⁷

33  The curse³⁹⁹⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the wicked:⁷⁵⁶³ but he blesseth¹²⁸⁸ the habitation⁵¹¹⁶ of the just.⁶⁶⁶²

34  Surely⁵¹⁸ he¹⁹³¹ scorneth³⁸⁸⁷ the scorners:³⁸⁸⁷ but he giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ grace²⁵⁸⁰ unto the lowly.⁶⁰³⁵

35  The wise²⁴⁵⁰ shall inherit⁵¹⁵⁷ glory:³⁵¹⁹ but shame⁷⁰³⁶ shall be the promotion⁷³¹¹ of fools.³⁶⁸⁴

1 υἱέ ἐμῶν νομίμων μὴ ἐπιλανθάνου τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου τηρείτω σὴ καρδία

2 μῆκος γὰρ βίου καὶ ἔτη ζωῆς καὶ εἰρήνην προσθήσουσίν σοι

3 ἐλεημοσύναι καὶ πίστεις μὴ ἐκλιπέτωσάν σε ἄφαψαι δὲ αὐτὰς ἐπὶ σῷ τραχήλῳ καὶ εὑρήσεις χάριν

4 καὶ προνοοῦ καλὰ ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἀνθρώπων

5 ἴσθι πεποιθὼς ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ἐπὶ θεῷ ἐπὶ δὲ σῇ σοφίᾳ μὴ ἐπαίρου

6 ἐν πάσαις ὁδοῖς σου γνώριζε αὐτήν ἵνα ὀρθοτομῇ τὰς ὁδούς σου ὁ δὲ πούς σου οὐ μὴ προσκόπτῃ

7 μὴ ἴσθι φρόνιμος παρὰ σεαυτῷ φοβοῦ δὲ τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἔκκλινε ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ

8 τότε ἴασις ἔσται τῷ σώματί σου καὶ ἐπιμέλεια τοῖς ὀστέοις σου

9 τίμα τὸν κύριον ἀπὸ σῶν δικαίων πόνων καὶ ἀπάρχου αὐτῷ ἀπὸ σῶν καρπῶν δικαιοσύνης

10 ἵνα πίμπληται τὰ ταμίειά σου πλησμονῆς σίτου οἴνῳ δὲ αἱ ληνοί σου ἐκβλύζωσιν

11 υἱέ μὴ ὀλιγώρει παιδείας κυρίου μηδὲ ἐκλύου ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐλεγχόμενος

12 ὃν γὰρ ἀγαπᾷ κύριος παιδεύει μαστιγοῖ δὲ πάντα υἱὸν ὃν παραδέχεται

13 μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὃς εὗρεν σοφίαν καὶ θνητὸς ὃς εἶδεν φρόνησιν

14 κρεῖττον γὰρ αὐτὴν ἐμπορεύεσθαι ἢ χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου θησαυρούς

15 τιμιωτέρα δέ ἐστιν λίθων πολυτελῶν οὐκ ἀντιτάξεται αὐτῇ οὐδὲν πονηρόν εὔγνωστός ἐστιν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐγγίζουσιν αὐτῇ πᾶν δὲ τίμιον οὐκ ἄξιον αὐτῆς ἐστιν

16 μῆκος γὰρ βίου καὶ ἔτη ζωῆς ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτῆς ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀριστερᾷ αὐτῆς πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα
ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῆς ἐκπορεύεται δικαιοσύνη νόμον δὲ καὶ ἔλεον ἐπὶ γλώσσης φορεῖ

17 αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτῆς ὁδοὶ καλαί καὶ πάντες οἱ τρίβοι αὐτῆς ἐν εἰρήνῃ

18 ξύλον ζωῆς ἐστι πᾶσι τοῖς ἀντεχομένοις αὐτῆς καὶ τοῖς ἐπερειδομένοις ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν ὡς ἐπὶ κύριον ἀσφαλής

19 ὁ θεὸς τῇ σοφίᾳ ἐθεμελίωσεν τὴν γῆν ἡτοίμασεν δὲ οὐρανοὺς ἐν φρονήσει

20 ἐν αἰσθήσει ἄβυσσοι ἐρράγησαν νέφη δὲ ἐρρύησαν δρόσους

21 υἱέ μὴ παραρρυῇς τήρησον δὲ ἐμὴν βουλὴν καὶ ἔννοιαν

22 ἵνα ζήσῃ ἡ ψυχή σου καὶ χάρις ᾖ περὶ σῷ τραχήλῳ
ἔσται δὲ ἴασις ταῖς σαρξί σου καὶ ἐπιμέλεια τοῖς σοῖς ὀστέοις

23 ἵνα πορεύῃ πεποιθὼς ἐν εἰρήνῃ πάσας τὰς ὁδούς σου ὁ δὲ πούς σου οὐ μὴ προσκόψῃ

24 ἐὰν γὰρ κάθῃ ἄφοβος ἔσῃ ἐὰν δὲ καθεύδῃς ἡδέως ὑπνώσεις

25 καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσῃ πτόησιν ἐπελθοῦσαν οὐδὲ ὁρμὰς ἀσεβῶν ἐπερχομένας

26 ὁ γὰρ κύριος ἔσται ἐπὶ πασῶν ὁδῶν σου καὶ ἐρείσει σὸν πόδα ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῇς

27 μὴ ἀπόσχῃ εὖ ποιεῖν ἐνδεῆ ἡνίκα ἂν ἔχῃ ἡ χείρ σου βοηθεῖν

28 μὴ εἴπης ἐπανελθὼν ἐπάνηκε καὶ αὔριον δώσω δυνατοῦ σου ὄντος εὖ ποιεῖν οὐ γὰρ οἶδας τί τέξεται ἡ ἐπιοῦσα

29 μὴ τεκτήνῃ ἐπὶ σὸν φίλον κακὰ παροικοῦντα καὶ πεποιθότα ἐπὶ σοί

30 μὴ φιλεχθρήσῃς πρὸς ἄνθρωπον μάτην μή τι εἰς σὲ ἐργάσηται κακόν

31 μὴ κτήσῃ κακῶν ἀνδρῶν ὀνείδη μηδὲ ζηλώσῃς τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν

32 ἀκάθαρτος γὰρ ἔναντι κυρίου πᾶς παράνομος ἐν δὲ δικαίοις οὐ συνεδριάζει

33 κατάρα θεοῦ ἐν οἴκοις ἀσεβῶν ἐπαύλεις δὲ δικαίων εὐλογοῦνται

34 κύριος ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν

35 δόξαν σοφοὶ κληρονομήσουσιν οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὕψωσαν ἀτιμίαν

Vul

1 [Fili mi, ne obliviscaris legis meæ,
et præcepta mea cor tuum custodiat:

2 longitudinem enim dierum, et annos vitæ, et pacem,
apponent tibi.

3 Misericordia et veritas te non deserant;
circumda eas gutturi tuo,
et describe in tabulis cordis tui:

4 et invenies gratiam, et disciplinam bonam,
coram Deo et hominibus.

5 Habe fiduciam in Domino ex toto corde tuo,
et ne innitaris prudentiæ tuæ.

6 In omnibus viis tuis cogita illum,
et ipse diriget gressus tuos.

7 Ne sis sapiens apud temetipsum;
time Deum, et recede a malo:

8 sanitas quippe erit umbilico tuo,
et irrigatio ossium tuorum.

9 Honora Dominum de tua substantia,
et de primitiis omnium frugum tuarum da ei:

10 et implebuntur horrea tua saturitate,
et vino torcularia tua redundabunt.]

11 [Disciplinam Domini, fili mi, ne abjicias,
nec deficias cum ab eo corriperis:

12 quem enim diligit Dominus, corripit,
et quasi pater in filio complacet sibi.

13 Beatus homo qui invenit sapientiam,
et qui affluit prudentia.

14 Melior est acquisitio ejus negotiatione argenti,
et auri primi et purissimi fructus ejus.

15 Pretiosior est cunctis opibus,
et omnia quæ desiderantur huic non valent comparari.

16 Longitudo dierum in dextera ejus,
et in sinistra illius divitiæ et gloria.

17 Viæ ejus viæ pulchræ,
et omnes semitæ illius pacificæ.

18 Lignum vitæ est his qui apprehenderint eam,
et qui tenuerit eam beatus.

19 Dominus sapientia fundavit terram;
stabilivit cælos prudentia.

20 Sapientia illius eruperunt abyssi,
et nubes rore concrescunt.]

21 [Fili mi, ne effluant hæc ab oculis tuis.
Custodi legem atque consilium,

22 et erit vita animæ tuæ,
et gratia faucibus tuis.

23 Tunc ambulabis fiducialiter in via tua,
et pes tuus non impinget.

24 Si dormieris, non timebis;
quiesces, et suavis erit somnus tuus.

25 Ne paveas repentino terrore,
et irruentes tibi potentias impiorum.

26 Dominus enim erit in latere tuo,
et custodiet pedem tuum, ne capiaris.]

27 [Noli prohibere benefacere eum qui potest:
si vales, et ipse benefac.

28 Ne dicas amico tuo: Vade, et revertere: cras dabo tibi:
cum statim possis dare.

29 Ne moliaris amico tuo malum,
cum ille in te habeat fiduciam.

30 Ne contendas adversus hominem frustra,
cum ipse tibi nihil mali fecerit.

31 Ne æmuleris hominem injustum,
nec imiteris vias ejus:

32 quia abominatio Domini est omnis illusor,
et cum simplicibus sermocinatio ejus.

33 Egestas a Domino in domo impii;
habitacula autem justorum benedicentur.

34 Ipse deludet illusores,
et mansuetis dabit gratiam.

35 Gloriam sapientes possidebunt;
stultorum exaltatio ignominia.]
