Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1A wise son heeds his father’s discipline, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
1[Filius sapiens doctrina patris; qui autem illusor est non audit cum arguitur.
2From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, but the desire of the faithless is violence.
2De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis: anima autem prævaricatorum iniqua.
3He who guards his mouth protects his life, but the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.
3Qui custodit os suum custodit animam suam; qui autem inconsideratus est ad loquendum, sentiet mala.
4The slacker craves yet has nothing, but the soul of the diligent is fully satisfied.
4Vult et non vult piger; anima autem operantium impinguabitur.
5The righteous hate falsehood, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace.
5Verbum mendax justus detestabitur; impius autem confundit, et confundetur.
6Righteousness guards the man of integrity, but wickedness undermines the sinner.
6Justitia custodit innocentis viam, impietas autem peccatorem supplantat.]
7One pretends to be rich, but has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
7[Est quasi dives, cum nihil habeat, et est quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit.
8Riches may ransom a man’s life, but a poor man hears no threat.
8Redemptio animæ viri divitiæ suæ; qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet.
9The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
9Lux justorum lætificat: lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur.
10Arrogance leads only to strife, but wisdom is with the well-advised.
10Inter superbos semper jurgia sunt; qui autem agunt omnia cum consilio, reguntur sapientia.
11Dishonest wealth will dwindle, but what is earned through hard work will be multiplied.
11Substantia festinata minuetur; quæ autem paulatim colligitur manu, multiplicabitur.
12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
12Spes quæ differtur affligit animam; lignum vitæ desiderium veniens.]
13He who despises instruction will pay the penalty, but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.
13[Qui detrahit alicui rei, ipse se in futurum obligat; qui autem timet præceptum, in pace versabitur. Animæ dolosæ errant in peccatis: justi autem misericordes sunt, et miserantur.
14The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning one from the snares of death.
14Lex sapientis fons vitæ, ut declinet a ruina mortis.
15Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the faithless is difficult.
15Doctrina bona dabit gratiam; in itinere contemptorum vorago.
16Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool displays his folly.
16Astutus omnia agit cum consilio; qui autem fatuus est aperit stultitiam.
17A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing.
17Nuntius impii cadet in malum; legatus autem fidelis, sanitas.
18Poverty and shame come to him who ignores discipline, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
18Egestas et ignominia ei qui deserit disciplinam; qui autem acquiescit arguenti glorificabitur.
19Desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but turning from evil is detestable to fools.
19Desiderium si compleatur delectat animam; detestantur stulti eos qui fugiunt mala.
20He who walks with the wise will become wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.
20Qui cum sapientibus graditur sapiens erit; amicus stultorum similis efficietur.]
21Disaster pursues sinners, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.
21[Peccatores persequitur malum, et justis retribuentur bona.
22A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is passed to the righteous.
22Bonus reliquit hæredes filios et nepotes, et custoditur justo substantia peccatoris.
23Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor, but without justice it is swept away.
23Multi cibi in novalibus patrum, et aliis congregantur absque judicio.
24He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently.
24Qui parcit virgæ odit filium suum; qui autem diligit illum instanter erudit.
25A righteous man eats to his heart’s content, but the stomach of the wicked is empty.
25Justus comedit et replet animam suam; venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.]
