Proverbs 14

KJV

1  Every wise²⁴⁵⁴ woman⁸⁰² buildeth¹¹²⁹ her house:¹⁰⁰⁴ but the foolish²⁰⁰ plucketh it down²⁰⁴⁰ with her hands.³⁰²⁷

2  He that walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ in his uprightness³⁴⁷⁶ feareth³³⁷² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ but he that is perverse³⁸⁶⁸ in his ways¹⁸⁷⁰ despiseth⁹⁵⁹ him.

3  In the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of the foolish¹⁹¹ is a rod²⁴¹⁵ of pride:¹³⁴⁶ but the lips⁸¹⁹³ of the wise²⁴⁵⁰ shall preserve⁸¹⁰⁴ them.

4  Where no³⁶⁹ oxen⁵⁰⁴ are, the crib¹⁸ is clean:¹²⁴⁹ but much⁷²³⁰ increase⁸³⁹³ is by the strength³⁵⁸¹ of the ox.⁷⁷⁹⁴

5  A faithful⁵²⁹ witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ will not³⁸⁰⁸ lie:³⁵⁷⁶ but a false⁸²⁶⁷ witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ will utter⁶³¹⁵ lies.³⁵⁷⁷

6  A scorner³⁸⁸⁷ seeketh¹²⁴⁵ wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ and findeth it not:³⁶⁹ but knowledge¹⁸⁴⁷ is easy⁷⁰⁴³ unto him that understandeth.⁹⁹⁵

7  Go¹⁹⁸⁰ from the presence^{4480 5048} of a foolish³⁶⁸⁴ man,³⁷⁶ when thou perceivest³⁰⁴⁵ not¹⁰⁷⁷ in him the lips⁸¹⁹³ of knowledge.¹⁸⁴⁷

8  The wisdom²⁴⁵¹ of the prudent⁶¹⁷⁵ is to understand⁹⁹⁵ his way:¹⁸⁷⁰ but the folly²⁰⁰ of fools³⁶⁸⁴ is deceit.⁴⁸²⁰

9  Fools¹⁹¹ make a mock³⁸⁸⁷ at sin:⁸¹⁷ but among⁹⁹⁶ the righteous³⁴⁷⁷ there is favor.⁷⁵²²

10  The heart³⁸²⁰ knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ his own⁵³¹⁵ bitterness;⁴⁷⁸⁷ and a stranger²¹¹⁴ doth not³⁸⁰⁸ intermeddle⁶¹⁴⁸ with his joy.⁸⁰⁵⁷

11  The house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ shall be overthrown:⁸⁰⁴⁵ but the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the upright³⁴⁷⁷ shall flourish.⁶⁵²⁴

12  There is³⁴²⁶ a way¹⁸⁷⁰ which seemeth right³⁴⁷⁷ unto⁶⁴⁴⁰ a man,³⁷⁶ but the end³¹⁹ thereof are the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of death.⁴¹⁹⁴

13  Even¹⁵⁷¹ in laughter⁷⁸¹⁴ the heart³⁸²⁰ is sorrowful;³⁵¹⁰ and the end³¹⁹ of that mirth⁸⁰⁵⁷ is heaviness.⁸⁴²⁴

14  The backslider⁵⁴⁷² in heart³⁸²⁰ shall be filled⁷⁶⁴⁶ with his own ways:^{4480 1870} and a good²⁸⁹⁶ man³⁷⁶ shall be satisfied from^{4480 5921} himself.

15  The simple⁶⁶¹² believeth⁵³⁹ every³⁶⁰⁵ word:¹⁶⁹⁷ but the prudent⁶¹⁷⁵ man looketh well⁹⁹⁵ to his going.⁸³⁸

16  A wise²⁴⁵⁰ man feareth,³³⁷³ and departeth⁵⁴⁹³ from evil:^{4480 7451} but the fool³⁶⁸⁴ rageth,⁵⁶⁷⁴ and is confident.⁹⁸²

17  He that is soon⁷¹¹⁶ angry⁶³⁹ dealeth⁶²¹³ foolishly:²⁰⁰ and a man³⁷⁶ of wicked devices⁴²⁰⁹ is hated.⁸¹³⁰

18  The simple⁶⁶¹² inherit⁵¹⁵⁷ folly:²⁰⁰ but the prudent⁶¹⁷⁵ are crowned³⁸⁰³ with knowledge.¹⁸⁴⁷

19  The evil⁷⁴⁵¹ bow⁷⁸¹⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the good;²⁸⁹⁶ and the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ at⁵⁹²¹ the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of the righteous.⁶⁶⁶²

20  The poor⁷³²⁶ is hated⁸¹³⁰ even¹⁵⁷¹ of his own neighbor:⁷⁴⁵³ but the rich⁶²²³ hath many⁷²²⁷ friends.¹⁵⁷

21  He that despiseth⁹³⁶ his neighbor⁷⁴⁵³ sinneth:²³⁹⁸ but he that hath mercy on²⁶⁰³ the poor,⁶⁰³⁵ happy⁸³⁵ is he.

22  Do they not³⁸⁰⁸ err⁸⁵⁸² that devise²⁷⁹⁰ evil?⁷⁴⁵¹ but mercy²⁶¹⁷ and truth⁵⁷¹ shall be to them that devise²⁷⁹⁰ good.²⁸⁹⁶

23  In all³⁶⁰⁵ labor⁶⁰⁸⁹ there is¹⁹⁶¹ profit:⁴¹⁹⁵ but the talk¹⁶⁹⁷ of the lips⁸¹⁹³ tendeth only³⁸⁹ to penury.⁴²⁷⁰

24  The crown⁵⁸⁵⁰ of the wise²⁴⁵⁰ is their riches:⁶²³⁹ but the foolishness²⁰⁰ of fools³⁶⁸⁴ is folly.²⁰⁰

25  A true⁵⁷¹ witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ delivereth⁵³³⁷ souls:⁵³¹⁵ but a deceitful⁴⁸²⁰ witness speaketh⁶³¹⁵ lies.³⁵⁷⁷

26  In the fear³³⁷⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is strong⁵⁷⁹⁷ confidence:⁴⁰⁰⁹ and his children¹¹²¹ shall have¹⁹⁶¹ a place of refuge.⁴²⁶⁸

27  The fear³³⁷⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is a fountain⁴⁷²⁶ of life,²⁴¹⁶ to depart⁵⁴⁹³ from the snares^{4480 4170} of death.⁴¹⁹⁴

28  In the multitude⁷²³⁰ of people⁵⁹⁷¹ is the king's⁴⁴²⁸ honor:¹⁹²⁷ but in the want⁶⁵⁷ of people³⁸¹⁶ is the destruction⁴²⁸⁸ of the prince.⁷³³³

29  He that is slow⁷⁵⁰ to wrath⁶³⁹ is of great⁷²²⁷ understanding:⁸³⁹⁴ but he that is hasty⁷¹¹⁶ of spirit⁷³⁰⁷ exalteth⁷³¹¹ folly.²⁰⁰

30  A sound⁴⁸³² heart³⁸²⁰ is the life²⁴¹⁶ of the flesh:¹³²⁰ but envy⁷⁰⁶⁸ the rottenness⁷⁵³⁸ of the bones.⁶¹⁰⁶

31  He that oppresseth⁶²³¹ the poor¹⁸⁰⁰ reproacheth²⁷⁷⁸ his Maker:⁶²¹³ but he that honoreth³⁵¹³ him hath mercy²⁶⁰³ on the poor.³⁴

32  The wicked⁷⁵⁶³ is driven away¹⁷⁶⁰ in his wickedness:⁷⁴⁵¹ but the righteous⁶⁶⁶² hath hope²⁶²⁰ in his death.⁴¹⁹⁴

33  Wisdom²⁴⁵¹ resteth⁵¹¹⁷ in the heart³⁸²⁰ of him that hath understanding:⁹⁹⁵ but that which is in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of fools³⁶⁸⁴ is made known.³⁰⁴⁵

34  Righteousness⁶⁶⁶⁶ exalteth⁷³¹¹ a nation:¹⁴⁷¹ but sin²⁴⁰³ is a reproach²⁶¹⁷ to any people.³⁸¹⁶

35  The king's⁴⁴²⁸ favor⁷⁵²² is toward a wise⁷⁹¹⁹ servant:⁵⁶⁵⁰ but his wrath⁵⁶⁷⁸ is¹⁹⁶¹ against him that causeth shame.⁹⁵⁴

1 σοφαὶ γυναῖκες ᾠκοδόμησαν οἴκους ἡ δὲ ἄφρων κατέσκαψεν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς

2 ὁ πορευόμενος ὀρθῶς φοβεῖται τὸν κύριον ὁ δὲ σκολιάζων ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ ἀτιμασθήσεται

3 ἐκ στόματος ἀφρόνων βακτηρία ὕβρεως χείλη δὲ σοφῶν φυλάσσει αὐτούς

4 οὗ μή εἰσιν βόες φάτναι καθαραί οὗ δὲ πολλὰ γενήματα φανερὰ βοὸς ἰσχύς

5 μάρτυς πιστὸς οὐ ψεύδεται ἐκκαίει δὲ ψεύδη μάρτυς ἄδικος

6 ζητήσεις σοφίαν παρὰ κακοῖς καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσεις αἴσθησις δὲ παρὰ φρονίμοις εὐχερής

7 πάντα ἐναντία ἀνδρὶ ἄφρονι ὅπλα δὲ αἰσθήσεως χείλη σοφά

8 σοφία πανούργων ἐπιγνώσεται τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν ἄνοια δὲ ἀφρόνων ἐν πλάνῃ

9 οἰκίαι παρανόμων ὀφειλήσουσιν καθαρισμόν οἰκίαι δὲ δικαίων δεκταί

10 καρδία ἀνδρὸς αἰσθητική λυπηρὰ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ὅταν δὲ εὐφραίνηται οὐκ ἐπιμείγνυται ὕβρει

11 οἰκίαι ἀσεβῶν ἀφανισθήσονται σκηναὶ δὲ κατορθούντων στήσονται

12 ἔστιν ὁδὸς ἣ δοκεῖ ὀρθὴ εἶναι παρὰ ἀνθρώποις τὰ δὲ τελευταῖα αὐτῆς ἔρχεται εἰς πυθμένα ᾅδου

13 ἐν εὐφροσύναις οὐ προσμείγνυται λύπη τελευταία δὲ χαρὰ εἰς πένθος ἔρχεται

14 τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδῶν πλησθήσεται θρασυκάρδιος ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν διανοημάτων αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ ἀγαθός

15 ἄκακος πιστεύει παντὶ λόγῳ πανοῦργος δὲ ἔρχεται εἰς μετάνοιαν

16 σοφὸς φοβηθεὶς ἐξέκλινεν ἀπὸ κακοῦ ὁ δὲ ἄφρων ἑαυτῷ πεποιθὼς μείγνυται ἀνόμῳ

17 ὀξύθυμος πράσσει μετὰ ἀβουλίας ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος πολλὰ ὑποφέρει

18 μεριοῦνται ἄφρονες κακίαν οἱ δὲ πανοῦργοι κρατήσουσιν αἰσθήσεως

19 ὀλισθήσουσιν κακοὶ ἔναντι ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἀσεβεῖς θεραπεύσουσιν θύρας δικαίων

20 φίλοι μισήσουσιν φίλους πτωχούς φίλοι δὲ πλουσίων πολλοί

21 ὁ ἀτιμάζων πένητας ἁμαρτάνει ἐλεῶν δὲ πτωχοὺς μακαριστός

22 πλανώμενοι τεκταίνουσι κακά ἔλεον δὲ καὶ ἀλήθειαν τεκταίνουσιν ἀγαθοί οὐκ ἐπίστανται ἔλεον καὶ πίστιν τέκτονες κακῶν ἐλεημοσύναι δὲ καὶ πίστεις παρὰ τέκτοσιν ἀγαθοῖς

23 ἐν παντὶ μεριμνῶντι ἔνεστιν περισσόν ὁ δὲ ἡδὺς καὶ ἀνάλγητος ἐν ἐνδείᾳ ἔσται

24 στέφανος σοφῶν πανοῦργος ἡ δὲ διατριβὴ ἀφρόνων κακή

25 ῥύσεται ἐκ κακῶν ψυχὴν μάρτυς πιστός ἐκκαίει δὲ ψεύδη δόλιος

26 ἐν φόβῳ κυρίου ἐλπὶς ἰσχύος τοῖς δὲ τέκνοις αὐτοῦ καταλείπει ἔρεισμα

27 πρόσταγμα κυρίου πηγὴ ζωῆς ποιεῖ δὲ ἐκκλίνειν ἐκ παγίδος θανάτου

28 ἐν πολλῷ ἔθνει δόξα βασιλέως ἐν δὲ ἐκλείψει λαοῦ συντριβὴ δυνάστου

29 μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ πολὺς ἐν φρονήσει ὁ δὲ ὀλιγόψυχος ἰσχυρῶς ἄφρων

30 πραΰθυμος ἀνὴρ καρδίας ἰατρός σὴς δὲ ὀστέων καρδία αἰσθητική

31 ὁ συκοφαντῶν πένητα παροξύνει τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτόν ὁ δὲ τιμῶν αὐτὸν ἐλεᾷ πτωχόν

32 ἐν κακίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀπωσθήσεται ἀσεβής ὁ δὲ πεποιθὼς τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ὁσιότητι δίκαιος

33 ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀγαθῇ ἀνδρὸς σοφία ἐν δὲ καρδίᾳ ἀφρόνων οὐ διαγινώσκεται

34 δικαιοσύνη ὑψοῖ ἔθνος ἐλασσονοῦσι δὲ φυλὰς ἁμαρτίαι

35 δεκτὸς βασιλεῖ ὑπηρέτης νοήμων τῇ δὲ ἑαυτοῦ εὐστροφίᾳ ἀφαιρεῖται ἀτιμίαν

Vul

1 [Sapiens mulier ædificat domum suam;
insipiens exstructam quoque manibus destruet.

2 Ambulans recto itinere, et timens Deum,
despicitur ab eo qui infami graditur via.

3 In ore stulti virga superbiæ;
labia autem sapientium custodiunt eos.

4 Ubi non sunt boves, præsepe vacuum est;
ubi autem plurimæ segetes, ibi manifesta est fortitudo bovis.

5 Testis fidelis non mentitur;
profert autem mendacium dolosus testis.

6 Quærit derisor sapientiam, et non invenit;
doctrina prudentium facilis.

7 Vade contra virum stultum,
et nescit labia prudentiæ.

8 Sapientia callidi est intelligere viam suam,
et imprudentia stultorum errans.

9 Stultus illudet peccatum,
et inter justos morabitur gratia.

10 Cor quod novit amaritudinem animæ suæ,
in gaudio ejus non miscebitur extraneus.

11 Domus impiorum delebitur:
tabernacula vero justorum germinabunt.

12 Est via quæ videtur homini justa,
novissima autem ejus deducunt ad mortem.

13 Risus dolore miscebitur,
et extrema gaudii luctus occupat.

14 Viis suis replebitur stultus,
et super eum erit vir bonus.]

15 [Innocens credit omni verbo;
astutus considerat gressus suos.
Filio doloso nihil erit boni;
servo autem sapienti prosperi erunt actus,
et dirigetur via ejus.

16 Sapiens timet, et declinat a malo;
stultus transilit, et confidit.

17 Impatiens operabitur stultitiam,
et vir versutus odiosus est.

18 Possidebunt parvuli stultitiam,
et exspectabunt astuti scientiam.

19 Jacebunt mali ante bonos,
et impii ante portas justorum.

20 Etiam proximo suo pauper odiosus erit:
amici vero divitum multi.

21 Qui despicit proximum suum peccat;
qui autem miseretur pauperis beatus erit.
Qui credit in Domino misericordiam diligit.

22 Errant qui operantur malum;
misericordia et veritas præparant bona.

23 In omni opere erit abundantia;
ubi autem verba sunt plurima, ibi frequenter egestas.

24 Corona sapientium divitiæ eorum;
fatuitas stultorum imprudentia.

25 Liberat animas testis fidelis,
et profert mendacia versipellis.]

26 [In timore Domini fiducia fortitudinis,
et filiis ejus erit spes.

27 Timor Domini fons vitæ,
ut declinent a ruina mortis.

28 In multitudine populi dignitas regis,
et in paucitate plebis ignominia principis.

29 Qui patiens est multa gubernatur prudentia;
qui autem impatiens est exaltat stultitiam suam.

30 Vita carnium sanitas cordis;
putredo ossium invidia.

31 Qui calumniatur egentem exprobrat factori ejus;
honorat autem eum qui miseretur pauperis.

32 In malitia sua expelletur impius:
sperat autem justus in morte sua.

33 In corde prudentis requiescit sapientia,
et indoctos quosque erudiet.

34 Justitia elevat gentem;
miseros autem facit populos peccatum.

35 Acceptus est regi minister intelligens;
iracundiam ejus inutilis sustinebit.]
