1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
no verse 2 in this text
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3Ἀφροσύνη ἀνδρὸς λυμαίνεται τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ, τὸν δὲ Θεὸν αἰτιᾶται τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD .
4Πλοῦτος προστίθησι φίλους πολλοὺς, ὁ δὲ πτωχὸς καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑπάρχοντος φίλου λείπεται.
4Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5Μάρτυς ψευδὴς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται, ὁ δὲ ἐγκαλῶν ἀδίκως οὐ διαφεύξεται.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6Πολλοὶ θεραπεύουσι πρόσωπα βασιλέων, πᾶς δὲ ὁ κακὸς γίνεται ὄνειδος ἀνδρί.
6Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7Πᾶς ὃς ἀδελφὸν πτωχὸν μισεῖ, καὶ φιλίας μακρὰν ἔσται· ἔννοια ἀγαθὴ τοῖς εἰδόσιν αὐτὴν ἐγγιεῖ, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος εὑρήσει αὐτήν· ὁ πολλὰ κακοποιῶν τελεσιουργεῖ κακίαν, ὃς δὲ ἐρεθίζει λόγους, οὐ σωθήσεται.
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 .
8Ὁ κτώμενος φρόνησιν ἀγαπᾷ ἑαυτὸν, ὃς δὲ φυλάσσει φρόνησιν, εὑρήσει ἀγαθά.
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9Μάρτυς ψευδὴς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται, ὃς δʼ ἂν ἐκκαύσῃ κακίαν, ἀπολεῖται ὑπʼ αὐτῆς.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10Οὐ συμφέρει ἄφρονι τρυφὴ, καὶ ἐὰν οἰκέτης ἄρξηται μεθʼ ὕβρεως δυναστεύειν.
10Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11Ἐλεήμων ἀνὴρ μακροθυμεῖ, τὸ δὲ καύχημα αὐτοῦ ἐπέρχεται παρανόμοις.
11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12Βασιλέως ἀπειλὴ ὁμοία βρυγμῷ λέοντος· ὥσπερ δὲ δρόσος ἐπὶ χόρτῳ, οὕτως τὸ ἱλαρὸν αὐτοῦ.
12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13Αἰσχύνη πατρὶ υἱὸς ἄφρων, οὐχ ἁγναὶ εὐχαὶ ἀπὸ μισθώματος ἑταίρας.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14Οἶκον καὶ ὕπαρξιν μερίζουσι πατέρες παισὶ, παρὰ δὲ Κυρίου ἁρμόζεται γυνὴ ἀνδρί.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD .
15Δειλία κατέχει ἀνδρόγυνον, ψυχὴ δὲ ἀεργοῦ πεινάσει.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16Ὃς φυλάσσει ἐντολὴν, τηρεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν· ὁ δὲ καταφρονῶν τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδῶν, ἀπολεῖται.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17Δανείζει Θεῷ ὁ ἐλεῶν πτωχὸν, κατὰ δὲ τὸ δόμα αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ.
17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD ; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18Παίδευε υἱόν σου, οὕτως γὰρ ἔσται εὔελπις, εἰς δὲ ὕβριν μὴ ἐπαίρου τῇ ψυχῇ σου.
18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19Κακόφρων ἀνὴρ πολλὰ ζημιωθήσεται· ἐὰν δὲ λοιμεύηται, καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ προσθήσει.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him , yet thou must do it again.
20Ἄκουε, υἱὲ, παιδείαν πατρός σου, ἵνα σοφὸς γένῃ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων σου.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21Πολλοὶ λογισμοὶ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνδρὸς, ἡ δὲ βουλὴ τοῦ Κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει.
21There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD , that shall stand.
22Καρπὸς ἀνδρὶ ἐλεημοσύνη, κρείσσων δὲ πτωχὸς δίκαιος ἢ πλούσιος ψευδής.
22The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23Φόβος Κυρίου εἰς ζωὴν ἀνδρὶ· ὁ δὲ ἄφοβος αὐλισθήσεται ἐν τόποις οὗ οὐκ ἐπισκοπεῖται γνῶσις.
23The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24Ὁ ἐγκρύπτων εἰς τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ χεῖρας ἀδίκως, οὐδὲ τῷ στόματι οὐ μὴ προσενείκῃ αὐτάς.
24A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25Λοιμοῦ μαστιγουμένου, ἄφρων πανουργότερος γίνεται· ἐὰν δὲ ἐλέγχῃς ἄνδρα φρόνιμον, νοήσει αἴσθησιν.
25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26Ὁ ἀτιμάζων πατέρα καὶ ἀπωθούμενος μητέρα αὐτοῦ, καταισχυνθήσεται καὶ ἐπονείδιστος ἔσται.
26He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27Υἱὸς ἀπολειπόμενος φυλάξαι παιδείαν πατρὸς, μελετήσει ῥήσεις κακάς.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
28Ὁ ἐγγυώμενος παῖδα ἄφρονα, καθυβρίσει δικαίωμα· στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν καταπίεται κρίσεις.
28An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29Ἑτοιμάζονται ἀκολάστοις μάστιγες, καὶ τιμωρίαι ὁμοίως ἄφροσιν.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
