Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight.
1ΖΥΓΟΙ δόλιοι βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, στάθμιον δὲ δίκαιον δεκτὸν αὐτῷ.
2When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom.
2οὗ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃ ὕβρις, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀτιμία· στόμα δὲ ταπεινῶν μελετᾷ σοφίαν
3The integrity of the upright guides them, but the perversity of the faithless destroys them.
3ἀποθανὼν δίκαιος ἔλιπε μετάμελον, πρόχειρος δὲ γίνεται καὶ ἐπίχαρτος ἀσεβῶν ἀπώλεια.
4Riches are worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness brings deliverance from death.
no verse 4 in this text
5The righteousness of the blameless directs their path, but the wicked fall by their own wickedness.
5δικαιοσύνη ἀμώμους ὀρθοτομεῖ ὁδούς, ἀσέβεια δὲ περιπίπτει ἀδικίᾳ.
6The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the faithless are trapped by their own desires.
6δικαιοσύνη ἀνδρῶν ὀρθῶν ρύεται αὐτούς, τῇ δὲ ἀπωλείᾳ αὐτῶν ἁλίσκονται παράνομοι.
7When the wicked man dies, his hope perishes, and the hope of his strength vanishes.
7τελευτήσαντος ἀνδρὸς δικαίου οὐκ ὄλλυται ἐλπίς, τὸ δὲ καύχημα τῶν ἀσεβῶν ὄλλυται.
8The righteous man is delivered from trouble; in his place the wicked man goes in.
8δίκαιος ἐκ θήρας ἐκδύνει, ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ δὲ παραδίδοται ὁ ἀσεβής.
9With his mouth the ungodly man destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.
9ἐν στόματι ἀσεβῶν παγὶς πολίταις, αἴσθησις δὲ δικαίων εὔοδος.
10When the righteous thrive, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
10ἐν ἀγαθοῖς δικαίων κατώρθωσε πόλις,
11By the blessing of the upright a city is built up, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
11στόμασι δὲ ἀσεβῶν κατεσκάφη.
12Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks judgment, but a man of understanding remains silent.
12μυκτηρίζει πολίτας ἐνδεὴς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος ἡσυχίαν ἄγει.
13A gossip reveals a secret, but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.
13ἀνὴρ δίγλωσσος ἀποκαλύπτει βουλὰς ἐν συνεδρίῳ, πιστὸς δὲ πνοῇ κρύπτει πράγματα.
14For lack of guidance, a nation falls, but with many counselors comes deliverance.
14οἷς μὴ ὑπάρχει κυβέρνησις, πίπτουσιν ὥπερ φύλλα, σωτηρία δὲ ὑπάρχει ἐν πολλῇ βουλῇ.
15He who puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but the one who hates indebtedness is secure.
15πονηρὸς κακοποιεῖ ὅταν συμμίξῃ δικαίῳ, μισεῖ δὲ ἦχον ἀσφαλείας.
16A gracious woman attains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth.
16γυνὴ εὐχάριστος ἐγείρει ἀνδρὶ δόξαν, θρόνος δὲ ἀτιμίας γυνὴ μισοῦσα δίκαια. πλούτου ὀκνηροὶ ἐνδεεῖς γίνονται, οἱ δὲ ἀνδρεῖοι ἐρείδονται πλούτῳ.
17A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.
17τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὸν ποιεῖ ἀνὴρ ἐλεήμων, ἐξολλύει δὲ αὐτοῦ σῶμα ὁ ἀνελεήμων.
18The wicked man earns an empty wage, but he who sows righteousness reaps a true reward.
18ἀσεβεῖς ποιεῖ ἔργα ἄδικα, σπέρμα δὲ δικαίων μισθὸς ἀληθείας.
19Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings death.
19υἱὸς δίκαιος γεννᾶται εἰς ζωήν, διωγμὸς δὲ ἀσεβοῦς εἰς θάνατον.
20The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but the blameless in their walk are His delight.
20βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ διεστραμμέναι ὁδοί, προσδεκτοὶ δὲ αὐτῷ πάντες ἄμωμοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν.
21Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
21χειρὶ χεῖρας ἐμβαλὼν ἀδίκως οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται, ὁ δὲ σπείρων δικαιοσύνην λήψεται μισθὸν πιστόν.
22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
22ὥσπερ ἐνώτιον ἐν ρινὶ ὑός, οὕτως γυναικὶ κακόφρονι κάλλος.
23The desire of the righteous leads only to good, but the hope of the wicked brings wrath.
23ἐπιθυμία δικαίων πᾶσα ἀγαθή, ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.
24One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.
24εἰσὶν οἳ τὰ ἴδια σπείροντες πλείονα ποιοῦσιν, εἰσὶ δὲ καὶ οἳ συνάγοντες ἐλαττονοῦνται.
25A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
25ψυχὴ εὐλογουμένη πᾶσα ἁπλῆ, ἀνὴρ δὲ θυμώδης οὐκ εὐσχήμων.
26The people will curse the hoarder of grain, but blessing will crown the one who sells it.
26ὁ συνέχων σῖτον ὑπολείποιτο αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, εὐλογίαν δὲ εἰς κεφαλὴν τοῦ μεταδιδόντος.
27He who searches out good finds favor, but evil will come to him who seeks it.
27τεκταινόμενος ἀγαθὰ ζητεῖ χάριν ἀγαθήν, ἐκζητοῦντα δὲ κακά, καταλήψεται αὐτόν.
28He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like foliage.
28ὁ πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ πλούτῳ οὗτος πεσεῖται, ὁ δὲ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος δικαίων οὗτος ἀνατελεῖ.
29He who brings trouble on his house will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
29ὁ μὴ συμπεριφερόμενος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ οἴκῳ κληρονομήσει ἄνεμον, δουλεύσει δὲ ἄφρων φρονίμῳ.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.
30ἐκ καρποῦ δικαιοσύνης φύεται δένδρον ζωῆς, ἀφαιροῦνται δὲ ἄωροι ψυχαὶ παρανόμων.
31If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
31εἰ ὁ μὲν δίκαιος μόλις σώζεται, ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποὺ φανεῖται;
