King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΟΡΓΗ ἀπόλλυσι καὶ φρονίμους, ἀπόκρισις δὲ ὑποπίπτουσα ἀποστρέφει θυμόν, λόγος δὲ λυπηρὸς ἐγείρει ὀργάς.
1A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2γλῶσσα σοφῶν καλὰ ἐπίσταται, στόμα δὲ ἀφρόνων ἀναγγέλλει κακά.
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου, σκοπεύουσι κακούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς.
3The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4ἴασις γλώσσης δένδρον ζωῆς, ὁ δὲ συντηρῶν αὐτὴν πλησθήσεται πνεύματος,
4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει παιδείαν πατρός, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐντολὰς πανουργότερος.
5A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6ἐν πλεοναζούσῃ δικαιοσύνῃ ἰσχὺς πολλή, οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὁλόρριζοι ἐκ γῆς ἀπολοῦνται. οἴκοις δικαίων ἰσχὺς πολλή, καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολοῦνται.
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7χείλη σοφῶν δέδεται αἰσθήσει, καρδία δὲ ἀφρόνων οὐκ ἀσφαλεῖς.
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8θυσίαι ἀσεβῶν βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ, εὐχαὶ δὲ κατευθυνόντων δεκταὶ παρ᾿ αὐτῷ.
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD : but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀσεβοῦς, διώκοντας δὲ δικαιοσύνην ἀγαπᾷ.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD : but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10παιδεία ἀκάκου γνωρίζεται ὑπὸ τῶν παριόντων, οἱ δὲ μισοῦντες ἐλέγχους τελευτῶσιν αἰσχρῶς.
10Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11ᾅδης καὶ ἀπώλεια φανερὰ παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ· πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ αἱ καρδίαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων;
11Hell and destruction are before the LORD : how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12οὐκ ἀγαπήσει ἀπαίδευτος τοὺς ἐλέγχοντας αὐτόν, μετὰ δὲ σοφῶν οὐχ ὁμιλήσει.
12A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13καρδίας εὐφραινομένης πρόσωπον θάλλει, ἐν δὲ λύπαις οὔσης σκυθρωπάζει.
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14καρδία ὀρθὴ ζητεῖ αἴσθησιν, στόμα δὲ ἀπαιδεύτων γνώσεται κακά.
14The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15πάντα τὸν χρόνον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ τῶν κακῶν προσδέχονται κακά, οἱ δὲ ἀγαθοὶ ἡσυχάζουσι διαπαντός.
15All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16κρεῖσσον μικρὰ μερὶς μετὰ φόβου Κυρίου ἢ θησαυροὶ μεγάλοι μετὰ ἀφοβίας.
16Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17κρείσσων ξενισμὸς μετὰ λαχάνων πρὸς φιλίαν καὶ χάριν ἢ παράθεσις μόσχων μετὰ ἔχθρας.
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18ἀνὴρ θυμώδης παρασκευάζει μάχας, μακρόθυμος δὲ καὶ τὴν μέλλουσαν καταπραυ±νει. α μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ κατασβέσει κρίσεις, ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς ἐγείρει μᾶλλον.
18A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19ὁδοὶ ἀεργῶν ἐστρωμέναι ἀκάνθαις, αἱ δὲ τῶν ἀνδρείων τετριμμέναι.
19The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα, υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει μητέρα αὐτοῦ.
20A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21ἀνοήτου τρίβοι ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος κατευθύνων πορεύεται.
21Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22ὑπερτίθενται λογισμοὺς οἱ μὴ τιμῶντες συνέδρια, ἐν δὲ καρδίαις βουλευομένων μένει βουλή.
22Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσῃ ὁ κακὸς αὐτῇ, οὐδὲ μὴ εἴπῃ καίριόν τι καὶ καλὸν τῷ κοινῷ.
23A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it !
24ὁδοὶ ζωῆς διανοήματα συνετοῦ, ἵνα ἐκκλίνας ἐκ τοῦ ᾅδου σωθῇ.
24The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25οἴκους ὑβριστῶν κατασπᾷ Κύριος, ἐστήρισε δὲ ὅριον χήρας.
25The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ λογισμὸς ἄδικος, ἁγνῶν δὲ ρήσεις σεμναί.
26The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD : but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27ἐξόλλυσιν ἑαυτὸν ὁ δωρολήπτης, ὁ δὲ μισῶν δώρων λήψεις σώζεται. α ἐλεημοσύναις καὶ πίστεσιν ἀποκαθαίρονται ἁμαρτίαι, τῷ δὲ φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐκκλίνει πᾶς ἀπὸ κακοῦ.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28καρδίαι δικαίων μελετῶσι πίστεις, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποκρίνεται κακά. α δεκταὶ παρὰ Κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀνθρώπων δικαίων, διὰ δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ φίλοι γίνονται.
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29μακρὰν ἀπέχει ὁ Θεὸς ἀπὸ ἀσεβῶν, εὐχαῖς δὲ δικαίων ἐπακούει. α κρείσσων ὀλίγη λῆψις μετὰ δικαιοσύνης ἢ πολλὰ γεννήματα μετὰ ἀδικίας. β καρδία ἀνδρὸς λογιζέσθω δίκαια, ἵνα ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ διορθωθῇ τὰ διαβήματα αὐτοῦ.
29The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30θεωρῶν ὀφθαλμὸς καλὰ εὐφραίνει καρδίαν, φήμη δὲ ἀγαθὴ πιαίνει ὀστᾶ.
30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

31The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32ὃς ἀπωθεῖται παιδείαν, μισεῖ ἑαυτόν, ὁ δὲ τηρῶν ἐλέγχους ἀγαπᾷ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
32He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33φόβος Θεοῦ παιδεία καὶ σοφία, καὶ ἀρχὴ δόξης ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτῇ.
33The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
