Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.
1[Viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit, repentinus ei superveniet interitus, et eum sanitas non sequetur.
2When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.
2In multiplicatione justorum lætabitur vulgus; cum impii sumpserint principatum, gemet populus.
3A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.
3Vir qui amat sapientiam lætificat patrem suum; qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam.
4A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.
4Rex justus erigit terram; vir avarus destruet eam.
5A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet.
5Homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo rete expandit gressibus ejus.
6A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice.
6Peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus, et justus laudabit atque gaudebit.
7The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge.
7Novit justus causam pauperum; impius ignorat scientiam.
8Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath.
8Homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem; sapientes vero avertunt furorem.
9If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest.
9Vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit, sive irascatur, sive rideat, non inveniet requiem.
10Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul.
10Viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem; justi autem quærunt animam ejus.
11A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.
11Totum spiritum suum profert stultus; sapiens differt, et reservat in posterum.
12A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.
12Princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii, omnes ministros habet impios.
13The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.
13Pauper et creditor obviaverunt sibi: utriusque illuminator est Dominus.
14The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
14Rex qui judicat in veritate pauperes, thronus ejus in æternum firmabitur.]
15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
15[Virga atque correptio tribuit sapientiam; puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suæ confundit matrem suam.
16When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.
16In multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera, et justi ruinas eorum videbunt.
17Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
17Erudi filium tuum, et refrigerabit te, et dabit delicias animæ tuæ.
18When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.
18Cum prophetia defecerit, dissipabitur populus; qui vero custodit legem beatus est.
19A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.
19Servus verbis non potest erudiri, quia quod dicis intelligit, et respondere contemnit.
20Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.
20Vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum? stultitia magis speranda est quam illius correptio.
21He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
21Qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum postea sentiet eum contumacem.]
22A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.
22[Vir iracundus provocat rixas, et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccandum proclivior.
23Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.
23Superbum sequitur humilitas, et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria.
24He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.
24Qui cum fure participat odit animam suam; adjurantem audit, et non indicat.
25He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.
25Qui timet hominem cito corruet; qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur.
26Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord.
26Multi requirunt faciem principis, et judicium a Domino egreditur singulorum.
27The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction.
27Abominantur justi virum impium, et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via. Verbum custodiens filius extra perditionem erit.]
