Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1[Melior est pauper qui ambulat in simplicitate sua quam dives torquens labia sua, et insipiens.
1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2Ubi non est scientia animæ, non est bonum, et qui festinus est pedibus offendet.
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3Stultitia hominis supplantat gressus ejus, et contra Deum fervet animo suo.
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD .
4Divitiæ addunt amicos plurimos; a paupere autem et hi quos habuit separantur.
4Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5Testis falsus non erit impunitus, et qui mendacia loquitur non effugiet.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6Multi colunt personam potentis, et amici sunt dona tribuentis.
6Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7Fratres hominis pauperis oderunt eum; insuper et amici procul recesserunt ab eo.] [Qui tantum verba sectatur nihil habebit;
7All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him .
8qui autem possessor est mentis diligit animam suam, et custos prudentiæ inveniet bona.
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9Falsus testis non erit impunitus, et qui loquitur mendacia peribit.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10Non decent stultum deliciæ, nec servum dominari principibus.
10Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11Doctrina viri per patientiam noscitur, et gloria ejus est iniqua prætergredi.
11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12Sicut fremitus leonis, ita et regis ira, et sicut ros super herbam, ita et hilaritas ejus.
12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13Dolor patris filius stultus, et tecta jugiter perstillantia litigiosa mulier.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14Domus et divitiæ dantur a parentibus; a Domino autem proprie uxor prudens.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD .

17Fœneratur Domino qui miseretur pauperis, et vicissitudinem suam reddet ei.
17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD ; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18Erudi filium tuum; ne desperes: ad interfectionem autem ejus ne ponas animam tuam.
18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19Qui impatiens est sustinebit damnum, et cum rapuerit, aliud apponet.
