Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1A deceitful balance is an abomination before the Lord: and a just weight is his will.
1ΖΥΓΟΙ δόλιοι βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, στάθμιον δὲ δίκαιον δεκτὸν αὐτῷ.
2Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom.
2οὗ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃ ὕβρις, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀτιμία· στόμα δὲ ταπεινῶν μελετᾷ σοφίαν
3The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them.
3ἀποθανὼν δίκαιος ἔλιπε μετάμελον, πρόχειρος δὲ γίνεται καὶ ἐπίχαρτος ἀσεβῶν ἀπώλεια.
4Riches shall not profit in the day of revenge: but justice shall deliver from death.
no verse 4 in this text
5The justice of the upright shall make his way prosperous: and the wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness.
5δικαιοσύνη ἀμώμους ὀρθοτομεῖ ὁδούς, ἀσέβεια δὲ περιπίπτει ἀδικίᾳ.
6The justice of the righteous shall deliver them: and the unjust shall be caught in their own snares.
6δικαιοσύνη ἀνδρῶν ὀρθῶν ρύεται αὐτούς, τῇ δὲ ἀπωλείᾳ αὐτῶν ἁλίσκονται παράνομοι.
7When the wicked man is dead, there shall be no hope any more: and the expectation of the solicitous shall perish.
7τελευτήσαντος ἀνδρὸς δικαίου οὐκ ὄλλυται ἐλπίς, τὸ δὲ καύχημα τῶν ἀσεβῶν ὄλλυται.
8The just is delivered out of distress: and the wicked shall be given up for him.
8δίκαιος ἐκ θήρας ἐκδύνει, ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ δὲ παραδίδοται ὁ ἀσεβής.
9The dissembler with his mouth deceiveth his friend: but the just shall be delivered by knowledge.
9ἐν στόματι ἀσεβῶν παγὶς πολίταις, αἴσθησις δὲ δικαίων εὔοδος.
10When it goeth well with the just the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish there shall be praise.
10ἐν ἀγαθοῖς δικαίων κατώρθωσε πόλις,
11By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown.
11στόμασι δὲ ἀσεβῶν κατεσκάφη.
12He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold his peace.
12μυκτηρίζει πολίτας ἐνδεὴς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος ἡσυχίαν ἄγει.
13He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.
13ἀνὴρ δίγλωσσος ἀποκαλύπτει βουλὰς ἐν συνεδρίῳ, πιστὸς δὲ πνοῇ κρύπτει πράγματα.
14Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.
14οἷς μὴ ὑπάρχει κυβέρνησις, πίπτουσιν ὥπερ φύλλα, σωτηρία δὲ ὑπάρχει ἐν πολλῇ βουλῇ.
15He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.
15πονηρὸς κακοποιεῖ ὅταν συμμίξῃ δικαίῳ, μισεῖ δὲ ἦχον ἀσφαλείας.
16A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.
16γυνὴ εὐχάριστος ἐγείρει ἀνδρὶ δόξαν, θρόνος δὲ ἀτιμίας γυνὴ μισοῦσα δίκαια. πλούτου ὀκνηροὶ ἐνδεεῖς γίνονται, οἱ δὲ ἀνδρεῖοι ἐρείδονται πλούτῳ.
17A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.
17τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὸν ποιεῖ ἀνὴρ ἐλεήμων, ἐξολλύει δὲ αὐτοῦ σῶμα ὁ ἀνελεήμων.
18The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.
18ἀσεβεῖς ποιεῖ ἔργα ἄδικα, σπέρμα δὲ δικαίων μισθὸς ἀληθείας.
19Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.
19υἱὸς δίκαιος γεννᾶται εἰς ζωήν, διωγμὸς δὲ ἀσεβοῦς εἰς θάνατον.
20A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
20βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ διεστραμμέναι ὁδοί, προσδεκτοὶ δὲ αὐτῷ πάντες ἄμωμοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν.
21Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.
21χειρὶ χεῖρας ἐμβαλὼν ἀδίκως οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται, ὁ δὲ σπείρων δικαιοσύνην λήψεται μισθὸν πιστόν.
22A golden ring in a swine’s snout, a woman fair and foolish.
22ὥσπερ ἐνώτιον ἐν ρινὶ ὑός, οὕτως γυναικὶ κακόφρονι κάλλος.
23The desire of the just is all good: the expectation of the wicked is indignation.
23ἐπιθυμία δικαίων πᾶσα ἀγαθή, ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.
24Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.
24εἰσὶν οἳ τὰ ἴδια σπείροντες πλείονα ποιοῦσιν, εἰσὶ δὲ καὶ οἳ συνάγοντες ἐλαττονοῦνται.
25The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself.
25ψυχὴ εὐλογουμένη πᾶσα ἁπλῆ, ἀνὴρ δὲ θυμώδης οὐκ εὐσχήμων.
26He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell.
26ὁ συνέχων σῖτον ὑπολείποιτο αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, εὐλογίαν δὲ εἰς κεφαλὴν τοῦ μεταδιδόντος.
27Well doth he rise early who seeketh good things; but he that seeketh after evil things shall be oppressed by them.
27τεκταινόμενος ἀγαθὰ ζητεῖ χάριν ἀγαθήν, ἐκζητοῦντα δὲ κακά, καταλήψεται αὐτόν.
28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the just shall spring up as a green leaf.
28ὁ πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ πλούτῳ οὗτος πεσεῖται, ὁ δὲ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος δικαίων οὗτος ἀνατελεῖ.
29He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the winds: and the fool shall serve the wise.
29ὁ μὴ συμπεριφερόμενος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ οἴκῳ κληρονομήσει ἄνεμον, δουλεύσει δὲ ἄφρων φρονίμῳ.
30The fruit of the just man is a tree of life: and he that gaineth souls, is wise.
30ἐκ καρποῦ δικαιοσύνης φύεται δένδρον ζωῆς, ἀφαιροῦνται δὲ ἄωροι ψυχαὶ παρανόμων.
31If the just man receive in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner.
31εἰ ὁ μὲν δίκαιος μόλις σώζεται, ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποὺ φανεῖται;
