World English Bible
1ΟΡΓΗ ἀπόλλυσι καὶ φρονίμους, ἀπόκρισις δὲ ὑποπίπτουσα ἀποστρέφει θυμόν, λόγος δὲ λυπηρὸς ἐγείρει ὀργάς.
1A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2γλῶσσα σοφῶν καλὰ ἐπίσταται, στόμα δὲ ἀφρόνων ἀναγγέλλει κακά.
2The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools gush out folly.
3ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου, σκοπεύουσι κακούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς.
3The LORD’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4ἴασις γλώσσης δένδρον ζωῆς, ὁ δὲ συντηρῶν αὐτὴν πλησθήσεται πνεύματος,
4A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.
5ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει παιδείαν πατρός, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐντολὰς πανουργότερος.
5A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
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 the income of the wicked brings trouble.
7χείλη σοφῶν δέδεται αἰσθήσει, καρδία δὲ ἀφρόνων οὐκ ἀσφαλεῖς.
7The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.
8θυσίαι ἀσεβῶν βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ, εὐχαὶ δὲ κατευθυνόντων δεκταὶ παρ᾿ αὐτῷ.
8The sacrifice made by 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 to the LORD, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
10παιδεία ἀκάκου γνωρίζεται ὑπὸ τῶν παριόντων, οἱ δὲ μισοῦντες ἐλέγχους τελευτῶσιν αἰσχρῶς.
10There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way. Whoever hates reproof shall die.
11ᾅδης καὶ ἀπώλεια φανερὰ παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ· πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ αἱ καρδίαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων;
11Sheol and Abaddon 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 scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
13καρδίας εὐφραινομένης πρόσωπον θάλλει, ἐν δὲ λύπαις οὔσης σκυθρωπάζει.
13A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
14καρδία ὀρθὴ ζητεῖ αἴσθησιν, στόμα δὲ ἀπαιδεύτων γνώσεται κακά.
14The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
15πάντα τὸν χρόνον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ τῶν κακῶν προσδέχονται κακά, οἱ δὲ ἀγαθοὶ ἡσυχάζουσι διαπαντός.
15All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys 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 with trouble.
17κρείσσων ξενισμὸς μετὰ λαχάνων πρὸς φιλίαν καὶ χάριν ἢ παράθεσις μόσχων μετὰ ἔχθρας.
17Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred.
18ἀνὴρ θυμώδης παρασκευάζει μάχας, μακρόθυμος δὲ καὶ τὴν μέλλουσαν καταπραυ±νει. α μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ κατασβέσει κρίσεις, ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς ἐγείρει μᾶλλον.
18A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
19ὁδοὶ ἀεργῶν ἐστρωμέναι ἀκάνθαις, αἱ δὲ τῶν ἀνδρείων τετριμμέναι.
19The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway.
20υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα, υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει μητέρα αὐτοῦ.
20A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.
21ἀνοήτου τρίβοι ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος κατευθύνων πορεύεται.
21Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
22ὑπερτίθενται λογισμοὺς οἱ μὴ τιμῶντες συνέδρια, ἐν δὲ καρδίαις βουλευομένων μένει βουλή.
22Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established.
23οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσῃ ὁ κακὸς αὐτῇ, οὐδὲ μὴ εἴπῃ καίριόν τι καὶ καλὸν τῷ κοινῷ.
23Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!
24ὁδοὶ ζωῆς διανοήματα συνετοῦ, ἵνα ἐκκλίνας ἐκ τοῦ ᾅδου σωθῇ.
24The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.
25οἴκους ὑβριστῶν κατασπᾷ Κύριος, ἐστήρισε δὲ ὅριον χήρας.
25The LORD will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.
26βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ λογισμὸς ἄδικος, ἁγνῶν δὲ ρήσεις σεμναί.
26The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.
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 who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will 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 weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.
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 hears the prayer of the righteous.
30θεωρῶν ὀφθαλμὸς καλὰ εὐφραίνει καρδίαν, φήμη δὲ ἀγαθὴ πιαίνει ὀστᾶ.
30The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.

31The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.
32ὃς ἀπωθεῖται παιδείαν, μισεῖ ἑαυτόν, ὁ δὲ τηρῶν ἐλέγχους ἀγαπᾷ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
32He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
33φόβος Θεοῦ παιδεία καὶ σοφία, καὶ ἀρχὴ δόξης ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτῇ.
33The fear of the LORD teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.
