Reina-Valera 1909
1He that hath a mind to depart from a friend seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.
1SEGÚN su antojo busca el que se desvía, y se entremete en todo negocio.
2A fool receiveth not the words of prudence: unless thou say those things which are in his heart.
2No toma placer el necio en la inteligencia, sino en lo que su corazón se descubre.
3The wicked man when he is come into the depth of sins, contemneth: but ignominy and reproach follow him.
3Cuando viene el impío, viene también el menosprecio, y con el deshonrador la afrenta.
4Words from the mouth of a men are as deep water: and the fountain of wisdom as an overflowing stream.
4Aguas profundas son las palabras de la boca del hombre; y arroyo revertiente, la fuente de la sabiduría.
5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to decline from the truth of judgment.
5Tener respeto á la persona del impío, para hacer caer al justo de su derecho, no es bueno.
6The lips of a fool intermeddle with strife: and his mouth provoketh quarrels.
6Los labios del necio vienen con pleito; y su boca á cuestiones llama.
7The mouth of a fool is his destruction: and his lips are the ruin of his soul.
7La boca del necio es quebrantamiento para sí, y sus labios son lazos para su alma.
8The words of the double tongued are as if they were harmless: and they reach even to the inner parts of the bowels. Fear casteth down the slothful: and the souls of the effeminate shall be hungry.
8Las palabras del chismoso parecen blandas, y descienden hasta lo íntimo del vientre.
9He that is loose and slack in his work, is the brother of him that wasteth his own works.
9También el que es negligente en su obra es hermano del hombre disipador.
10The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the just runneth to it, and shall be exalted.
10Torre fuerte es el nombre de Jehová: á él correrá el justo, y será levantado.
11The substance of the rich man is the city of his strength, and as a strong wall compassing him about.
11Las riquezas del rico son la ciudad de su fortaleza, y como un muro alto en su imaginación.
12Before destruction, the heart of a man is exalted: and before he be glorified, it is humbled.
12Antes del quebrantamiento se eleva el corazón del hombre, y antes de la honra es el abatimiento.
13He that answereth before he heareth sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion.
13El que responde palabra antes de oir, le es fatuidad y oprobio.
14The spirit of a man upholdeth his infirmity: but a spirit that is easily angered, who can bear?
14El ánimo del hombre soportará su enfermedad: mas ¿quién soportará al ánimo angustiado?
15A wise heart shall acquire knowledge: and the ear of the wise seeketh instruction.
15El corazón del entendido adquiere sabiduría; y el oído de los sabios busca la ciencia.
16A man’s gift enlargeth his may, and maketh him room before princes.
16El presente del hombre le ensancha el camino , y le lleva delante de los grandes.
17The just is first accuser of himself: his friend cometh, and shall search him.
17El primero en su propia causa parece justo; y su adversario viene, y le sondea.
18The lot suppresseth contentions, and determineth even between the mighty.
18La suerte pone fin á los pleitos, y desparte los fuertes.
19A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities.
19El hermano ofendido es más tenaz que una ciudad fuerte: y las contiendas de los hermanos son como cerrojos de alcázar.
20Of the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be satisfied: and the offspring of his lips shall fill him.
20Del fruto de la boca del hombre se hartará su vientre; hartaráse del producto de sus labios.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.
21La muerte y la vida están en poder de la lengua; y el que la ama comerá de sus frutos.
22He that hath found a good wife, hath found a good thing, and shall receive a pleasure from the Lord. He that driveth away a good wife, driveth away a good thing: but he that keepeth an adulteress, is foolish and wicked.
22El que halló esposa halló el bien, y alcanzó la benevolencia de Jehová.
23The poor will speak with supplications, and the rich will speak roughly.
23El pobre habla con ruegos; mas el rico responde durezas.
24A man amiable in society, shall be more friendly than a brother.
24El hombre que tiene amigos, ha de mostrarse amigo: y amigo hay más conjunto que el hermano.
