King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΩΣΠΕΡ ὁρμὴ ὕδατος, οὕτως καρδία βασιλέως ἐν χειρὶ Θεοῦ· οὗ ἐὰν θέλων νεύσῃ, ἐκεῖ ἔκλινεν αὐτήν.
1The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD , as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
2πᾶς ἀνὴρ φαίνεται ἑαυτῷ δίκαιος, κατευθύνει δὲ καρδίας Κύριος.
2Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
3ποιεῖν δίκαια καὶ ἀληθεύειν ἀρεστὰ παρὰ Θεῷ μᾶλλον ἢ θυσιῶν αἷμα.
3To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4μεγαλόφρων ἐν ὕβρει θρασυκάρδιος, λαμπτὴρ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἁμαρτία.
4An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
no verse 5 in this text
5The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
6ὁ ἐνεργῶν θησαυρίσματα γλώσσῃ ψευδεῖ μάταια διώκει καὶ ἔρχεται ἐπὶ παγίδας θανάτου.
6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
7ὄλεθρος ἀσεβέσιν ἐπιξενωθήσεται, οὐ γὰρ βούλονται πράσσειν τὰ δίκαια.
7The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
8πρὸς τοὺς σκολιοὺς σκολιὰς ὁδοὺς ἀποστέλλει ὁ Θεός, ἁγνὰ γὰρ καὶ ὀρθὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ. 9κρεῖσσον οἰκεῖν ἐπὶ γωνίας ὑπαίθρου ἢ ἐν κεκονιαμένοις μετὰ ἀδικίας καὶ ἐν οἴκῳ κοινῷ.
8The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
no verse 9 in this text
9It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10ψυχὴ ἀσεβοῦς οὐκ ἐλεηθήσεται ὑπ᾿ οὐδενὸς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
10The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11ζημιουμένου ἀκολάστου πανουργότερος γίνεται ὁ ἄκακος, συνίων δὲ σοφὸς δέξεται γνῶσιν.
11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12συνίει δίκαιος καρδίας ἀσεβῶν καὶ φαυλίζει ἀσεβεῖς ἐν κακοῖς.
12The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
13ὃς φράσσει τὰ ὧτα αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ ἐπακοῦσαι ἀσθενοῦς, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπικαλέσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ εἰσακούων.
13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
14δόσις λάθριος ἀνατρέπει ὀργάς, δώρων δὲ ὁ φειδόμενος θυμὸν ἐγείρει ἰσχυρόν.
14A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
15εὐφροσύνη δικαίων ποιεῖν κρίμα, ὅσιος δὲ ἀκάθαρτος παρὰ κακούργοις.
15It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
16ἀνὴρ πλανώμενος ἐξ ὁδοῦ δικαιοσύνης ἐν συναγωγῇ γιγάντων ἀναπαύσεται.
16The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
17ἀνὴρ ἐνδεὴς ἀγαπᾷ εὐφροσύνην, φιλῶν οἶνον καὶ ἔλαιον εἰς πλοῦτον·
17He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18περικάθαρμα δὲ δικαίου ἄνομος.
18The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
19κρεῖσσον οἰκεῖν ἐν γῇ ἐρήμῳ ἢ μετὰ γυναικὸς μαχίμου καὶ γλωσσώδους καὶ ὀργίλου.
19It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
20θησαυρὸς ἐπιθυμητὸς ἀναπαύσεται ἐπὶ στόματος σοφοῦ, ἄφρονες δὲ ἄνδρες καταπίονται αὐτόν.
20There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
21ὁδὸς δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἐλεημοσύνης εὑρήσει ζωὴν καὶ δόξαν.
21He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22πόλεις ὀχυρὰς ἐπέβη σοφὸς καὶ καθεῖλε τὸ ὀχύρωμα, ἐφ᾿ ᾧ ἐπεποίθεισαν οἱ ἀσεβεῖς.
22A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23ὃς φυλάσσει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν γλῶσσαν, διατηρεῖ ἐκ θλίψεως τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24θρασὺς καὶ αὐθάδης καὶ ἀλαζὼν λοιμὸς καλεῖται, ὃς δὲ μνησικακεῖ, παράνομος.
24Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
25ἐπιθυμίαι ὀκνηρὸν ἀποκτείνουσιν, οὐ γὰρ προαιροῦνται αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ποιεῖν τι.
25The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
26ἀσεβὴς ἐπιθυμεῖ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐπιθυμίας κακάς, ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐλεᾷ καὶ οἰκτείρει ἀφειδῶς.
26He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27θυσίαι ἀσεβῶν βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ, καὶ γὰρ παρανόμως προσφέρουσιν αὐτάς.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
28μάρτυς ψευδὴς ἀπολεῖται, ἀνὴρ δὲ ὑπήκοος φυλασσόμενος λαλήσει.
28A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29ἀσεβὴς ἀνὴρ ἀναιδῶς ὑφίσταται προσώπῳ, ὁ δὲ εὐθὴς αὐτὸς συνίει τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ.
29A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
30οὐκ ἔστι σοφία, οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνδρεία, οὐκ ἔστι βουλὴ πρὸς τὸν ἀσεβῆ.
30There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD .
31ἵππος ἑτοιμάζεται εἰς ἡμέραν πολέμου, παρὰ δὲ Κυρίου ἡ βοήθεια.
31The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD .
