Proverbs 10
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
1[Filius sapiens lætificat patrem, filius vero stultus mœstitia est matris suæ.
2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.
2Nil proderunt thesauri impietatis, justitia vero liberabit a morte.
3The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
3Non affliget Dominus fame animam justi, et insidias impiorum subvertet.
4He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
4Egestatem operata est manus remissa; manus autem fortium divitias parat. Qui nititur mendaciis, hic pascit ventos; idem autem ipse sequitur aves volantes.
5A wise son gathereth in summer; but a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest.
5Qui congregat in messe, filius sapiens est; qui autem stertit æstate, filius confusionis.
6Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
6Benedictio Domini super caput justi; os autem impiorum operit iniquitas.
7The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot.
7Memoria justi cum laudibus, et nomen impiorum putrescet.
8The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.
8Sapiens corde præcepta suscipit; stultus cæditur labiis.
9He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be found out.
9Qui ambulat simpliciter ambulat confidenter; qui autem depravat vias suas manifestus erit.
10He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall.
10Qui annuit oculo dabit dolorem; et stultus labiis verberabitur.]
11The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
11[Vena vitæ os justi, et os impiorum operit iniquitatem.
12Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions.
12Odium suscitat rixas, et universa delicta operit caritas.
13In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
13In labiis sapientis invenitur sapientia, et virga in dorso ejus qui indiget corde.
14Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin.
14Sapientes abscondunt scientiam; os autem stulti confusioni proximum est.
15The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
15Substantia divitis, urbs fortitudinis ejus; pavor pauperum egestas eorum.
16The wages of the righteous is life; the increase of the wicked is sin.
16Opus justi ad vitam, fructus autem impii ad peccatum.
17He is in the way of life that heedeth instruction; but he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
17Via vitæ custodienti disciplinam; qui autem increpationes relinquit, errat.
18He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; and he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
18Abscondunt odium labia mendacia; qui profert contumeliam, insipiens est.
19In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
19In multiloquio non deerit peccatum, qui autem moderatur labia sua prudentissimus est.
20The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth.
20Argentum electum lingua justi; cor autem impiorum pro nihilo.
21The lips of the righteous feed many; but the foolish die for want of understanding.
21Labia justi erudiunt plurimos; qui autem indocti sunt in cordis egestate morientur.]
22The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and toil addeth nothing thereto.
22[Benedictio Domini divites facit, nec sociabitur eis afflictio.
23It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness, and so is wisdom to a man of discernment.
23Quasi per risum stultus operatur scelus, sapientia autem est viro prudentia.
24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; and the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
24Quod timet impius veniet super eum; desiderium suum justus dabitur.
25When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
25Quasi tempestas transiens non erit impius; justus autem quasi fundamentum sempiternum.
26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
26Sicut acetum dentibus, et fumus oculis, sic piger his qui miserunt eum.
27The fear of the LORD prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
27Timor Domini apponet dies, et anni impiorum breviabuntur.
28The hope of the righteous is gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
28Exspectatio justorum lætitia, spes autem impiorum peribit.
29The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but ruin to the workers of iniquity.
29Fortitudo simplicis via Domini, et pavor his qui operantur malum.
30The righteous shall never be moved; but the wicked shall not inhabit the land.
30Justus in æternum non commovebitur, impii autem non habitabunt super terram.
31The mouth of the righteous buddeth with wisdom; but the froward tongue shall be cut off.
31Os justi parturiet sapientiam; lingua pravorum peribit.
32The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness.
32Labia justi considerant placita, et os impiorum perversa.]
