Berean Standard Bible
1ΥΙΟΣ πανοῦργος ὑπήκοος πατρί, υἱὸς δὲ ἀνήκοος ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ.
1A wise son heeds his father’s discipline, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
2ἀπὸ καρπῶν δικαιοσύνης φάγεται ἀγαθός, ψυχαὶ δὲ παρανόμων ὀλοῦνται ἄωροι.
2From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, but the desire of the faithless is violence.
3ὃς φυλάσσει τὸ ἑαυτοῦ στόμα, τηρεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν, ὁ δὲ προπετὴς χείλεσι πτοήσει ἑαυτόν.
3He who guards his mouth protects his life, but the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.
4ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις ἐστὶ πᾶς ἀεργός, χεῖρες δὲ ἀνδρείων ἐν ἐπιμελείᾳ.
4The slacker craves yet has nothing, but the soul of the diligent is fully satisfied.
5λόγον ἄδικον μισεῖ δίκαιος, ἀσεβὴς δὲ αἰσχύνεται καὶ οὐχ ἕξει παρρησίαν.
5The righteous hate falsehood, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace.
no verse 6 in this text
6Righteousness guards the man of integrity, but wickedness undermines the sinner.
7εἰσὶν οἱ πλουτίζοντες ἑαυτοὺς μηδὲν ἔχοντες, καί εἰσιν οἱ ταπεινοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐν πολλῷ πλούτῳ.
7One pretends to be rich, but has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
8λύτρον ἀνδρὸς ψυχῆς ὁ ἴδιος πλοῦτος, πτωχὸς δὲ οὐχ ὑφίσταται ἀπειλήν.
8Riches may ransom a man’s life, but a poor man hears no threat.
9φῶς δικαίοις διαπαντός, φῶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν σβέννυται. 9α ψυχαὶ δόλιαι πλανῶνται ἐν ἁμαρτίαις, δίκαιοι δὲ οἰκτείρουσι καὶ ἐλεοῦσι.
9The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
10κακὸς μεθ᾿ ὕβρεως πράσσει κακά, οἱ δὲ ἑαυτῶν ἐπιγνώμονες σοφοί.
10Arrogance leads only to strife, but wisdom is with the well-advised.
11ὕπαρξις ἐπισπουδαζομένη μετὰ ἀνομίας ἐλάσσων γίνεται, ὁ δὲ συνάγων ἑαυτῷ μετ᾿ εὐσεβείας πληθυνθήσεται· δίκαιος οἰκτείρει καὶ κιχρᾷ.
11Dishonest wealth will dwindle, but what is earned through hard work will be multiplied.
12κρείσσων ἐναρχόμενος βοηθῶν καρδίᾳ τοῦ ἐπαγγελλομένου καὶ εἰς ἐλπίδα ἄγοντος· δένδρον γὰρ ζωῆς ἐπιθυμία ἀγαθή.
12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
13ὃς καταφρονεῖ πράγματος, καταφρονηθήσεται ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ· ὁ δὲ φοβούμενος ἐντολήν, οὗτος ὑγιαίνει. 13α υἱῷ δολίῳ οὐδὲν ἔσται ἀγαθόν, οἰκέτῃ δὲ σοφῷ εὔοδοι ἔσονται πράξεις, καὶ κατευθυνθήσεται ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ.
13He who despises instruction will pay the penalty, but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.
14νόμος σοφοῦ πηγὴ ζωῆς, ὁ δὲ ἄνους ὑπὸ παγίδος θανεῖται.
14The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning one from the snares of death.
15σύνεσις ἀγαθὴ δίδωσι χάριν, τὸ δὲ γνῶναι νόμον διανοίας ἐστὶν ἀγαθῆς, ὁδοὶ δὲ καταφρονούντων ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ.
15Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the faithless is difficult.
16πᾶς πανοῦργος πράσσει μετὰ γνώσεως, ὁ δὲ ἄφρων ἐξεπέτασεν ἑαυτοῦ κακίαν.
16Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool displays his folly.
17βασιλεὺς θρασὺς ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακά, ἄγγελος δὲ σοφὸς ρύσεται αὐτόν.
17A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing.
18πενίαν καὶ ἀτιμίαν ἀφαιρεῖται παιδεία, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐλέγχους δοξασθήσεται.
18Poverty and shame come to him who ignores discipline, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
19ἐπιθυμίαι εὐσεβῶν ἡδύνουσι ψυχήν, ἔργα δὲ ἀσεβῶν μακρὰν ἀπὸ γνώσεως.
19Desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but turning from evil is detestable to fools.
20ὁ συμπορευόμενος σοφοῖς σοφὸς ἔσται, ὁ δὲ συμπορευόμενος ἄφροσι γνωσθήσεται.
20He who walks with the wise will become wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.
21ἁμαρτάνοντας καταδιώξεται κακά, τοὺς δὲ δικαίους καταλήψεται ἀγαθά.
21Disaster pursues sinners, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.
22ἀγαθὸς ἀνὴρ κληρονομήσει υἱοὺς υἱῶν, θησαυρίζεται δὲ δικαίοις πλοῦτος ἀσεβῶν.
22A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is passed to the righteous.
23δίκαιοι ποιήσουσιν ἐν πλούτῳ ἔτη πολλά, ἄδικοι δὲ ἀπολοῦνται συντόμως.
23Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor, but without justice it is swept away.
24ὃς φείδεται τῆς βακτηρίας μισεῖ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν ἐπιμελῶς παιδεύει.
24He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently.
25δίκαιος ἔσθων ἐμπιπλᾷ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, ψυχαὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἐνδεεῖς.
25A righteous man eats to his heart’s content, but the stomach of the wicked is empty.
