Liber Proverbiorum

Proverbiorum, chapter 10, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 10 Vulgate

   1 Parabolae Salomonis. Filius sapiens laetificat pa trem, filius vero stultus maestitia est matris suae.
   2 Nil proderunt thesauri impietatis, iustitia vero liberabit a morte.
   3 Non affliget Dominus fame animam iusti et cupiditatem impiorum subvertet.
   4 Egestatem operata est manus remissa, manus autem fortium divitias parat.
   5 Qui congregat in messe, filius sapiens est; qui autem stertit aestate, filius confusionis.
   6 Benedictiones Domini super caput iusti, os autem impiorum operit violentiam.
   7 Memoria iusti in benedictione erit, et nomen impiorum putrescet.
   8 Sapiens corde praecepta suscipit, et stultus labiis corruet.
   9 Qui ambulat simpliciter, ambulat confidenter; qui autem depravat vias suas, manifestus erit.
   10 Qui annuit oculo, dabit dolorem, et stultus labiis corruet.
   11 Vena vitae os iusti, et os impiorum operit violentiam.
   12 Odium suscitat rixas, et universa delicta operit caritas.
   13 In labiis sapientis invenitur sapientia, et virga in dorso eius, qui indiget corde.
   14 Sapientes recondunt scientiam, os autem stulti ruinae proximum est.
   15 Substantia divitis urbs fortitudinis eius, ruina pauperum egestas eorum.
   16 Opus iusti ad vitam, fructus autem impii ad peccatum.
   17 Graditur ad vitam, qui custodit disciplinam; qui autem increpationes relinquit, errat.
   18 Abscondunt odium labia mendacia; qui profert contumeliam, insipiens est.
   19 In multiloquio non deerit peccatum; qui autem moderatur labia sua, prudentissimus est.
   20 Argentum electum lingua iusti, cor autem impiorum pro nihilo.
   21 Labia iusti erudiunt plurimos; qui autem indocti sunt, in cordis egestate morientur.
   22 Benedictio Domini divites facit, nec addet ei labor quidquam.
   23 Quasi per risum stultus operatur scelus, sapientia autem est viro prudentiae.
   24 Quod timet impius, veniet super eum; desiderium suum iustis dabitur.
   25 Quasi tempestas transiens non erit impius, iustus autem quasi fundamentum sempiternum.
   26 Sicut acetum dentibus et fumus oculis, sic piger his, qui miserunt eum.
   27 Timor Domini apponet dies, et anni impiorum breviabuntur.
   28 Exspectatio iustorum laetitia, spes autem impiorum peribit.
   29 Fortitudo simplici via Domini et ruina his, qui operantur malum.
   30 Iustus in aeternum non commovebitur, impii autem non habitabunt super terram.
   31 Os iusti germinabit sapientiam, lingua prava abscindetur.
   32 Labia iusti considerant placita, et os impiorum perversa.

King James Version

   1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
   2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
   3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
   4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
   5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
   6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
   7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
   8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
   9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
   10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
   11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
   12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
   13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
   14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
   15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
   16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
   17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
   18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
   19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
   20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
   21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
   22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
   23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
   24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
   25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
   26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
   27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
   28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
   29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
   30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
   31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
   32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
