Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
1[Filius sapiens lætificat patrem, filius vero stultus mœstitia est matris suæ.
2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
2Nil proderunt thesauri impietatis, justitia vero liberabit a morte.
3The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
3Non affliget Dominus fame animam justi, et insidias impiorum subvertet.
4He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
4Egestatem operata est manus remissa; manus autem fortium divitias parat. Qui nititur mendaciis, hic pascit ventos; idem autem ipse sequitur aves volantes.
5He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
5Qui congregat in messe, filius sapiens est; qui autem stertit æstate, filius confusionis.
6Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
6Benedictio Domini super caput justi; os autem impiorum operit iniquitas.
7The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
7Memoria justi cum laudibus, et nomen impiorum putrescet.
8The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall.
8Sapiens corde præcepta suscipit; stultus cæditur labiis.
9He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
9Qui ambulat simpliciter ambulat confidenter; qui autem depravat vias suas manifestus erit.
10One who winks with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall.
10Qui annuit oculo dabit dolorem; et stultus labiis verberabitur.]
11The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
11[Vena vitæ os justi, et os impiorum operit iniquitatem.
12Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.
12Odium suscitat rixas, et universa delicta operit caritas.
13Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who 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 near ruin.
14Sapientes abscondunt scientiam; os autem stulti confusioni proximum est.
15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
15Substantia divitis, urbs fortitudinis ejus; pavor pauperum egestas eorum.
16The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
16Opus justi ad vitam, fructus autem impii ad peccatum.
17He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
17Via vitæ custodienti disciplinam; qui autem increpationes relinquit, errat.
18He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.
18Abscondunt odium labia mendacia; qui profert contumeliam, insipiens est.
19In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
19In multiloquio non deerit peccatum, qui autem moderatur labia sua prudentissimus est.
20The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
20Argentum electum lingua justi; cor autem impiorum pro nihilo.
21The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
21Labia justi erudiunt plurimos; qui autem indocti sunt in cordis egestate morientur.]
22The LORD’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.
22[Benedictio Domini divites facit, nec sociabitur eis afflictio.
23It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.
23Quasi per risum stultus operatur scelus, sapientia autem est viro prudentia.
24What the wicked fear will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
24Quod timet impius veniet super eum; desiderium suum justus dabitur.
25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever.
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 those who send him.
26Sicut acetum dentibus, et fumus oculis, sic piger his qui miserunt eum.
27The fear of the LORD prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
27Timor Domini apponet dies, et anni impiorum breviabuntur.
28The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish.
28Exspectatio justorum lætitia, spes autem impiorum peribit.
29The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
29Fortitudo simplicis via Domini, et pavor his qui operantur malum.
30The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
30Justus in æternum non commovebitur, impii autem non habitabunt super terram.
31The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will 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 perverse.
32Labia justi considerant placita, et os impiorum perversa.]
