Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1[Filius sapiens lætificat patrem, filius vero stultus mœstitia est matris suæ.
1A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.
2Nil proderunt thesauri impietatis, justitia vero liberabit a morte.
2Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death.
3Non affliget Dominus fame animam justi, et insidias impiorum subvertet.
3The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.
4Egestatem operata est manus remissa; manus autem fortium divitias parat. Qui nititur mendaciis, hic pascit ventos; idem autem ipse sequitur aves volantes.
4The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.
5Qui congregat in messe, filius sapiens est; qui autem stertit æstate, filius confusionis.
5He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.

7The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.

11The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.
12Odium suscitat rixas, et universa delicta operit caritas.
12Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.
13In labiis sapientis invenitur sapientia, et virga in dorso ejus qui indiget corde.
13In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.
14Sapientes abscondunt scientiam; os autem stulti confusioni proximum est.
14Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.
15Substantia divitis, urbs fortitudinis ejus; pavor pauperum egestas eorum.
15The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.
16Opus justi ad vitam, fructus autem impii ad peccatum.
16The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin.

17The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray.
18Abscondunt odium labia mendacia; qui profert contumeliam, insipiens est.
18Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish.
19In multiloquio non deerit peccatum, qui autem moderatur labia sua prudentissimus est.
19In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise.
20Argentum electum lingua justi; cor autem impiorum pro nihilo.
20The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.
21Labia justi erudiunt plurimos; qui autem indocti sunt in cordis egestate morientur.]
21The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.
22[Benedictio Domini divites facit, nec sociabitur eis afflictio.
22The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.
23Quasi per risum stultus operatur scelus, sapientia autem est viro prudentia.
23A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.
24Quod timet impius veniet super eum; desiderium suum justus dabitur.
24That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.
25Quasi tempestas transiens non erit impius; justus autem quasi fundamentum sempiternum.
25As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.
