King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
1[Viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit, repentinus ei superveniet interitus, et eum sanitas non sequetur.
2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
2In multiplicatione justorum lætabitur vulgus; cum impii sumpserint principatum, gemet populus.
3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
3Vir qui amat sapientiam lætificat patrem suum; qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam.
4The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
4Rex justus erigit terram; vir avarus destruet eam.
5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.
5Homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo rete expandit gressibus ejus.
6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
6Peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus, et justus laudabit atque gaudebit.
7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it .
7Novit justus causam pauperum; impius ignorat scientiam.
8Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
8Homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem; sapientes vero avertunt furorem.
9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
9Vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit, sive irascatur, sive rideat, non inveniet requiem.
10The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
10Viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem; justi autem quærunt animam ejus.
11A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
11Totum spiritum suum profert stultus; sapiens differt, et reservat in posterum.
12If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
12Princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii, omnes ministros habet impios.
13The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.
13Pauper et creditor obviaverunt sibi: utriusque illuminator est Dominus.
14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
14Rex qui judicat in veritate pauperes, thronus ejus in æternum firmabitur.]
15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
15[Virga atque correptio tribuit sapientiam; puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suæ confundit matrem suam.
16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
16In multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera, et justi ruinas eorum videbunt.
17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
17Erudi filium tuum, et refrigerabit te, et dabit delicias animæ tuæ.
18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
18Cum prophetia defecerit, dissipabitur populus; qui vero custodit legem beatus est.
19A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
19Servus verbis non potest erudiri, quia quod dicis intelligit, et respondere contemnit.
20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
20Vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum? stultitia magis speranda est quam illius correptio.
21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
21Qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum postea sentiet eum contumacem.]
22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
22[Vir iracundus provocat rixas, et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccandum proclivior.
23A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
23Superbum sequitur humilitas, et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria.
24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
24Qui cum fure participat odit animam suam; adjurantem audit, et non indicat.
25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
25Qui timet hominem cito corruet; qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur.
26Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD .
26Multi requirunt faciem principis, et judicium a Domino egreditur singulorum.
27An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
27Abominantur justi virum impium, et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via. Verbum custodiens filius extra perditionem erit.]
