  1 G2908 Better G5596.1 a morsel G3326 with G2237 satisfaction G1722 in G1515 peace, G2228 than G3624 a house G4134 full G4183 of many G18 good things, G2532 and G94 unjust G2367.3 things offered for sacrifices G3326 with G3163 battles.
  2 G3610 [2servant G3540.1 1An intelligent] G2902 shall prevail over G1203 [2masters G878 1foolish]; G1722 and among G1161   G80 brethren G1244 he shall divide G3313 portions.
  3 G5618 As G1381 [4tried G1722 5in G2575 6a furnace G696 1silver G2532 2and G5557 3gold]; G3779 so G1588 choice G2588 hearts G3844 by G2962 the lord .
  4 G2556 A bad man G5219 obeys G1100 the tongue G3892.1 of lawbreakers; G94 and an unjust man G1161   G4337 heeds G5491 [2lips G5571 1lying].
  5 G3588 The G2606 one ridiculing G4434 the poor G3947 provokes G3588 the one G4160 making G1473 him. G3588 And the one G1161   G2020.1 rejoicing at G622 one being destroyed G3756 shall not G121.1 be acquitted; G3588 but the one G1161   G1986.2 showing compassion G1653 shall be shown mercy.
  6 G4735 [3 are the crown G1088 4of the aged G5043 1Children's G5043 2children]; G2745 [3 are the boasting G1161 1and G5043 2children] G3962 of their fathers. G1473   G3588 [4 is of the G4103 5trustworthy G3650 1 The entire G3588   G2889 2world G3588   G5536 3of things]; G3588 but for the G1161   G571 unbelieving G3761 not G3588.2 an obolus.
  7 G3756 [3shall not G718 4suit G878 5a fool G5491 2lips G4103 1Trustworthy], G3761 nor G1342 [3to the just G5491 2lips G5571 1lying].
  8 G3408 [5wage G5484 4 is a favorable G3809 1Instruction G3588 2to the G5530 3ones employing it]; G3739 and where G1161   G302 ever G1994 it shall turn, G2137 the way shall be prosperous.
  9 G3739 The one who G2928 hides G92 offences G2212 seeks G5373 friendship; G3739 but the one who G1161   G3404 detests G2928 hiding it G1339 sets apart G5384 friends G2532 and G3609 family members.
  10 G4937 [2breaks down G547 1Intimidation] G2588 the heart G5429 of the intelligent; G878 but a fool G1161   G3146 being whipped G3756 does not G143 perceive.
  11 G485 Disputes G1453 arise G3956 with every G2556 evil man; G3588 but the G1161   G2962 lord G32 [3angel G415 2an unmerciful G1599 1shall send forth] G1473 against him.
  12 G1706 [2shall fall unto G3308 1Anxiety G435 4man G3540.1 3an intelligent]; G3588 but the G1161   G878 fools G1260 shall argue G2556 evil things .
  13 G3739 The one who G591 repays G2556 evil things G473 for G18 good things, G3756 [2shall not G2795 3be moved G2556 1evil things] G1537 from out of G3588   G3624 his house. G1473  
  14 G1849 [4authority G1325 3shall give G3056 5to words G746 1 The sovereignty G1343 2of righteousness]; G4285 [5lead G1161 1but G3588   G1729.1 6to lack G4714 2faction G2532 3and G3163 4fighting].
  15 G3739 The one who G1342 [4 as just G2919 1judges G3588 2the G94 3unjust], G94 [4 as unjust G1161 1or G3588 2the G1342 3just], G169 is unclean G2532 and G947 abominable G3844 before G2316 God.
  16 G2444 Why did G5224 [2exist G5536 1riches] G878 to the fool? G2932 [5to acquire G1063   G1063 1for G4678 6wisdom G174.1 2 the heartless G3756 3will not G1410 4be able]. G3739 The one who G5308 [4high G4160 1makes G3588   G1438 2his own G3624 3house] G2212 seeks G4936.1 destruction; G3588 and the one G1161   G4645.3 being crooked G3588   G3129 to learn G1706 shall fall G1519 into G2556 evils.
  17 G1519 For G3956 all G2540 time G3588 [2the G5384 3friend G5224 1let] exist G1473 to you! G80 [2 the brethren G1722 5in G318 6distresses G5539 4profitable G1510.5 1let 3be]! G3778 for this G1063   G5484 favor G1080 they were born.
  18 G435 [2man G878 1A foolish] G1948.1 claps G2532 and G2020.1 rejoices over G1438 himself, G5613 as G2532 also G3588 the one G1449.1 guaranteeing a loan G1449.2 by surety G3588   G1438 for his own G5384 friend.
  19 G5361.1 The one fond of sinning G5463 rejoices in G3163 fights;
  20 G3588 and the G1161   G4641.1 hard-hearted one G3756 does not G4876 meet with G18 good things . G435 A man G2129.2 with a changeable G1100 tongue G1706 will fall G1519 into G2556 evils;
  21 G2588 and the heart G1161   G878 of a fool G3601 is grief G3588 to G2932 its possessor. G1473   G3756 [2is not G2165 3glad G3962 1A father] G1909 over G5207 [2son G521 1an uninstructed]; G5207 [3son G1161 1but G5429 2an intelligent] G2165 gladdens G3384 his mother. G1473  
  22 G2588 A heart G2165 being glad G2107.2 [2to be in good health G4160 1makes]; G435 [3man G1161 1but G3077.1 2a distressed] G3583 dries G3588 the G3747 bones.
  23 G2983 One receiving G1435 gifts G1722 in G2859 enfolded arms G95 unjustly G3756 does not greatly prosper G2720.1   G3588 in the G3598 ways; G765 and an impious man G1161   G1578 turns aside G3598 the ways G1343 of righteousness.
  24 G4383 The countenance G4908 [3 is discerning G435 2man G4680 1of a wise]; G3588 but the G1161   G3788 eyes G3588 of the G878 fool G1909 are unto G206.1 the uttermost parts G1093 of the earth.
  25 G3709 [3 is anger G3962 4to a father G5207 2son G878 1A foolish], G2532 and G3601 grief G3588 to the G5088 one birthing G1473 him.
  26 G2210 To penalize G435 [2man G1342 1a just] G3756 is not G2570 good; G3761 nor G3741 is it sacred G1916.2 to plot against G1413 [2monarchs G1342 1just].
  27 G3739 The one G5339 sparing G4487 [3word G4290.2 1to let go G4642 2a hard] G1921.2 is an arbitrator; G3115.1 and a lenient G1161   G435 man G5429 is intelligent.
  28 G453 To an unthinking man G1905 asking, G4678 wisdom G3049 shall be imputed; G1769 [3dumb man G1161 1and G5100 2any G1438 5for himself G4160 4doing] G1380 shall seem G5429 to be intelligent. G1510.1

new(i)
  1 H2896 Better H2720 is a dry H6595 morsel, H7962 and quietness H1004 with it, than an house H4392 full H2077 of sacrifices H7379 with strife.
  2 H7919 [H8688] A prudent H5650 servant H4910 [H8799] shall have rule H1121 over a son H954 [H8688] that causeth shame, H2505 [H8799] and shall have part H5159 of the inheritance H8432 among H251 the brethren.
  3 H4715 The refining pot H3701 is for silver, H3564 and the furnace H2091 for gold: H3068 but the LORD H974 [H8802] trieth H3826 the hearts.
  4 H7489 [H8688] A wicked doer H7181 [H8688] prickeneth up his ear H8193 to lips H205 of nothingness; H8267 and a liar H238 [H8688] giveth ear H1942 to a mischievous H3956 tongue.
  5 H3932 [H8802] He that mocketh H7326 [H8802] the poor H2778 [H8765] reproacheth H6213 [H8802] his Maker: H8056 and he that is glad H343 at calamities H5352 [H8735] shall not be unpunished.
  6 H1121 Son's H1121 sons H5850 are the crown H2205 of old men; H8597 and the glory H1121 of sons H1 is their fathers.
  7 H3499 Excellent H8193 speech H5000 becometh H5036 not a fool: H8267 much less do lying H8193 lips H5081 a prince.
  8 H7810 A bribe H2580 is as a precious H68 stone H5869 in the eyes H1167 of him that hath H6437 [H8799] it: wherever it turneth, H7919 [H8686] it prospereth.
  9 H3680 [H8764] He that covereth H6588 a revolt H1245 [H8764] seeketh H160 love; H8138 [H8802] but he that repeateth H1697 a matter H6504 [H8688] separateth H441 very friends.
  10 H1606 A reproof H5181 [H8799] entereth H995 [H8688] more into a wise man H3967 than an hundred H5221 [H8687] stripes H3684 into a fool.
  11 H7451 An evil H1245 [H8762] man seeketh H4805 only rebellion: H394 therefore a cruel H4397 messenger H7971 [H8792] shall be sent against him.
  12 H1677 Let a bear H7909 robbed H6298 [H8800] of her whelps meet H376 a man, H408 rather than H3684 a fool H200 in his folly.
  13 H7725 [H8688] Whoever rewardeth H7451 evil H2896 for good, H7451 evil H4185 H4185 [H8799] shall not depart H1004 from his house.
  14 H7225 The beginning H4066 of strife H6362 [H8802] is as when one letteth out H4325 water: H5203 [H8800] therefore withdraw from H7379 contention, H6440 at the face of H1566 [H8694] it be meddled with.
  15 H6663 [H8688] He that justifieth H7563 the wicked, H7561 [H8688] and he that condemneth H6662 the just, H8147 even they both H8441 are abomination H3068 to the LORD.
  16 H4242 Why is there a price H3027 in the hand H3684 of a fool H7069 [H8800] to get H2451 wisdom, H3820 seeing he hath no heart to it?
  17 H7453 A friend H157 [H8802] loveth H6256 at all times, H251 and a brother H3205 [H8735] is born H6869 for tightness.
  18 H120 A man H2638 void H3820 of heart H8628 [H8802] striketh H3709 palms, H6148 [H8802] and becometh H6161 surety H6440 in the face H7453 of his friend.
  19 H157 [H8802] He loveth H6588 revolt H157 [H8802] that loveth H4683 strife: H1361 [H8688] and he that exalteth H6607 his gate H1245 [H8764] seeketh H7667 fracture.
  20 H6141 He that hath a perverse H3820 heart H4672 [H8799] findeth H2896 no good: H2015 [H8738] and he that hath a perverse H3956 tongue H5307 [H8799] falleth H7451 into evil.
  21 H3205 [H8802] He that begetteth H3684 a fool H8424 doeth it to his sorrow: H1 and the father H5036 of a fool H8055 [H8799] hath no joy.
  22 H8056 A merry H3820 heart H3190 [H8686] doeth good H1456 like a medicine: H5218 but a broken H7307 spirit H3001 [H8762] drieth H1634 the bones.
  23 H7563 A wicked H3947 [H8799] man taketh H7810 a bribe H2436 out of the bosom H5186 [H8687] to pervert H734 the ways H4941 of judgment.
  24 H2451 Wisdom H6440 H995 [H8688] is before him that hath understanding; H5869 but the eyes H3684 of a fool H7097 are in the ends H776 of the earth.
  25 H3684 A foolish H1121 son H3708 is a vexation H1 to his father, H4470 and bitterness H3205 [H8802] to her that bore him.
  26 H6064 [H8800] Also to punish H6662 the just H2896 is not good, H5221 [H8687] nor to strike H5081 princes H3476 for equity.
  27 H3045 [H8802] He that hath H1847 knowledge H2820 [H8802] spareth H561 his words: H376 and a man H8394 of understanding H3368 H7119 [H8675] is of an excellent H7307 spirit.

Clementine_Vulgate(i) 1 [Melior est buccella sicca cum gaudio quam domus plena victimis cum jurgio. 2 Servus sapiens dominabitur filiis stultis, et inter fratres hæreditatem dividet. 3 Sicut igne probatur argentum et aurum camino, ita corda probat Dominus. 4 Malus obedit linguæ iniquæ, et fallax obtemperat labiis mendacibus. 5 Qui despicit pauperem exprobrat factori ejus, et qui ruina lætatur alterius non erit impunitus. 6 Corona senum filii filiorum, et gloria filiorum patres eorum. 7 Non decent stultum verba composita, nec principem labium mentiens. 8 Gemma gratissima exspectatio præstolantis; quocumque se vertit, prudenter intelligit. 9 Qui celat delictum quærit amicitias; qui altero sermone repetit, separat fœderatos. 10 Plus proficit correptio apud prudentem, quam centum plagæ apud stultum. 11 Semper jurgia quærit malus: angelus autem crudelis mittetur contra eum. 12 Expedit magis ursæ occurrere raptis fœtibus, quam fatuo confidenti in stultitia sua. 13 Qui reddit mala pro bonis, non recedet malum de domo ejus. 14 Qui dimittit aquam caput est jurgiorum, et antequam patiatur contumeliam judicium deserit.] 15 [Qui justificat impium, et qui condemnat justum, abominabilis est uterque apud Deum. 16 Quid prodest stulto habere divitias, cum sapientiam emere non possit?

Wycliffe(i) 1 Betere is a drie mussel with ioye, than an hous ful of sacrifices with chidyng. 2 A wijs seruaunt schal be lord of fonned sones; and he schal departe eritage among britheren. 3 As siluer is preued bi fier, and gold is preued bi a chymnei, so the Lord preueth hertis. 4 An yuel man obeieth to a wickid tunge; and a fals man obeieth to false lippis. 5 He that dispisith a pore man, repreueth his maker; and he that is glad in the fallyng of another man, schal not be vnpunyschid. 6 The coroun of elde men is the sones of sones; and the glorie of sones is the fadris of hem. 7 Wordis wel set togidere bisemen not a fool; and a liynge lippe bicometh not a prince. 8 A preciouse stoon moost acceptable is the abiding of hym that sekith; whidur euere he turneth hym silf, he vndurstondith prudentli. 9 He that helith trespas, sekith frenschipis; he that rehersith bi an hiy word, departith hem, that ben knyt togidere in pees. 10 A blamyng profitith more at a prudent man, than an hundryd woundis at a fool. 11 Euere an yuel man sekith stryues; forsothe a cruel aungel schal be sent ayens hym. 12 It spedith more to meete a femal bere, whanne the whelpis ben rauyschid, than a fool tristynge to hym silf in his foli. 13 Yuel schal not go a wei fro the hous of hym, that yeldith yuels for goodis. 14 He that leeueth watir, is heed of stryues; and bifor that he suffrith wrong, he forsakith dom. 15 Bothe he that iustifieth a wickid man, and he that condempneth a iust man, euer ethir is abhomynable at God. 16 What profitith it to a fool to haue richessis, sithen he mai not bie wisdom? He that makith his hous hiy, sekith falling; and he that eschewith to lerne, schal falle in to yuels. 17 He that is a frend, loueth in al tyme; and a brother is preuyd in angwischis. 18 A fonned man schal make ioie with hondis, whanne he hath bihiyt for his frend. 19 He that bithenkith discordis, loueth chidingis; and he that enhaunsith his mouth, sekith fallyng. 20 He that is of weiward herte, schal not fynde good; and he that turneth the tunge, schal falle in to yuel. 21 A fool is borun in his schenschipe; but nether the fadir schal be glad in a fool. 22 A ioiful soule makith likinge age; a sorewful spirit makith drie boonys. 23 A wickid man takith yiftis fro the bosum, to mys turne the pathis of doom. 24 Wisdom schyneth in the face of a prudent man; the iyen of foolis ben in the endis of erthe. 25 A fonned sone is the ire of the fadir, and the sorewe of the modir that gendride hym. 26 It is not good to brynge in harm to a iust man; nether to smyte the prince that demeth riytfuli. 27 He that mesurith his wordis, is wijs and prudent; and a lerud man is of preciouse spirit. 28 Also a foole, if he is stille, schal be gessid a wijs man; and, if he pressith togidre hise lippis, he `schal be gessid an vndurstondynge man.
Coverdale(i) 1 Better is a drye morsell wt quyetnesse, the a full house and many fatt catell wt stryfe. 2 A discrete seruaut shal haue more rule then the sonnes yt haue no wysdome, and shal haue like heretage wt the brethren. 3 Like as syluer is tried in the fyre and golde in the fornace, euen so doth the LORDE proue the hertes. 4 A wicked body holdeth moch of false lippes, & a dyssemblynge persone geueth eare to a disceatfull toge. 5 Who so laugheth ye poore to scorne, blasphemeth his maker: and he yt is glad of another mans hurte, shal not be vnpunyshed. 6 Childers children are a worshipe vnto the elders, and the fathers are the honor of the children. 7 An eloquent speach becometh not a foole, a dyssemblinge mouth also besemeth not a prynce. 8 Liberalite is a precious stone vnto him that hath it, for where so euer he becometh, he prospereth. 9 Who so couereth another mans offence, seketh loue: but he yt discloseth the faute, setteth frendes at variaunce. 10 One reprofe only doth more good to him yt hath vnderstodinge, then an C. stripes vnto a foole. 11 A sedicious personne seketh myschefe, but a cruell messaunger shal be sent agaynst him. 12 It were better to come agaynst a she Bere robbed of hir whelpes, then agaynst a foole in his foolishnes. 13 Who so rewardeth euell for good, the plage shal not departe fro his house. 14 He yt soweth discorde & strife, is like one yt dyggeth vp a water broke: but an open enemie is like the water yt breaketh out & reneth abrode. 15 The LORDE hateth as well him yt iustifieth ye vngodly, as him yt condempneth the innocet. 16 What helpeth it to geue a foole money in his hode, where as he hath no mynde to bye wy?dome? 17 He is a frende that allwaye loueth, and in aduersite a man shal knowe who is his brother. 18 Who so promiseth by the hande, & is suertie for another, he is a foole. 19 He yt loueth strife, delyteth in synne: & who so setteth his dore to hye, seketh after a fall. 20 Who so hath a frowarde herte, opteyneth no good: and he yt hath an ouerthwarte tonge, shal fall into myschefe. 21 An vnwyse body bryngeth himselfe in to sorowe, and ye father of a foole can haue no ioye. 22 A mery herte maketh a lusty age, but a sorowfull mide dryeth vp ye bones. 23 The vngodly taketh giftes out of the bosome, to wraist the wayes of iudgment. 24 Wy?dome shyneth in ye face of him yt hath vnderstondinge, but ye eyes of fooles wandre thorow out all lodes. 25 An vndiscrete sonne is a grefe vnto his father, and heuynesse vnto his mother yt bare him. 26 To punysh ye innocent, and to smyte ye prynces yt geue true iudgmet, are both euell. 27 He is wyse and discrete, yt tempereth his wordes: and he is a ma of vnderstodinge, yt maketh moch of his sprete. 28 Yee a very foole (when he holdeth his tonge) is counted wyse, and to haue vnderstodinge, when he shutteth his lippes.
MSTC(i) 1 Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a full house and many fat cattle with strife. 2 A discreet servant shall have more rule than the sons that have no wisdom, and shall have like heritage with the brethren. 3 Like as silver is tried in the fire and gold in the furnace, even so doth the LORD prove the hearts. 4 A wicked body giveth audience to false lips; and a dissembling person giveth ear to a deceitful tongue. 5 Whoso laugheth the poor to scorn, blasphemeth his maker; and he that is glad of another man's hurt, shall not be unpunished. 6 Children's children are a crown of the aged, and the fathers are the honour of the children. 7 An eloquent speech becometh not a fool; much less a lying mouth, then, becometh a prince. 8 Liberality is a precious stone unto him that hath it; for wheresoever he becometh, he prospereth. 9 Whoso covereth another man's offense, seeketh love; but he that discloseth the fault, setteth friends at variance. 10 One reproof only doth more good to him that hath understanding, than a hundred stripes unto a fool. 11 A sedicious person seeketh mischief; but a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12 It were better to come against a she Bear robbed of her whelps, than against a fool in his foolishness. 13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, the plague shall not depart from his house. 14 He that soweth discord and strife, is like one that diggeth up a water brook; but an open enemy is like the water that breaketh out and runneth abroad. 15 The LORD hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemneth the innocent. 16 What helpeth it to give a fool money in his hand, whereas he hath no mind to buy wisdom? 17 He is a friend that always loveth, and in adversity a man shall know who is his brother. 18 Whoso promiseth by the hand, and is surety for another; he is a fool. 19 He that loveth strife, delighteth in sin; and whoso setteth his door too high, seeketh after a fall. 20 Whoso hath a froward heart, obtaineth no good; and he that hath an overthwart tongue, shall fall into mischief. 21 An unwise body bringeth himself in to sorrow; and the father of a fool can have no joy. 22 A merry heart maketh a lusty age; but a sorrowful mind drieth up the bones. 23 The ungodly taketh gifts out of the bosom, to wrest the ways of judgment. 24 Wisdom shineth in the face of him that hath understanding; but the eyes of fools wander throughout all lands. 25 An indiscreet son is a grief unto his father; and a heaviness unto his mother that bare him. 26 To punish the innocent, and to smite the princes that give true judgment, are both evil. 27 He is wise and discreet that tempereth his words; and he is a man of understanding, that maketh much of his spirit. 28 Yea, a very fool, when he holdeth his tongue, is counted wise; and to have understanding, when he shutteth his lips.
Matthew(i) 1 Better is a dry morsell with quietnes, then a full house and many fat catell with stryfe. 2 A discrete seruaunt shall haue more rule then the sonnes that haue no wysdom, and shal haue like heritage with the brethren. 3 Lyke as syluer is tryed in the fyre and golde in the fornace, euen so doeth the Lorde proue the hertes. 4 A wycked bodye holdeth muche of false lippes, and a dissemblyng personne geueth eare to a dysceatefull tonge. 5 Who so laugheth the pore to scorne blasphemeth hys maker: & he that is glad of another mans hurt, shall not be vnpunished. 6 Chylders chyldren are a worshyppe vnto the elders, & the fathers are the honoure of the children. 7 An eloquent speach becommeth not a fole, a dissemblyng mouth also besemeth not a prince. 8 Liberalite is a precyous stone vnto hym that hath it, for whersoeuer he becometh, he prospereth. 9 Who so couereth another mans offence seketh loue: but he that discloseth the faut setteth frends at variance. 10 One reprofe only doth more good to him that hath vnderstandinge then an .C. stripes vnto a fole. 11 A sedicious personne seketh myschefe, but a cruell messaunger shall be sent against hym. 12 It were better to come against a shee Bere robbed of her whelpes, then agaynst a fole in his foolyshnes. 13 Who so rewardeth euell for good, the plage shall not departe frome hys house. 14 He that soweth discord & strife, is lyke one that dyggeth vp a water broke: but an open enemy is like the water that breaketh out & renneth abroad. 15 The Lord hateth as wel hym that iustifyeth the vngodly, as him that condemneth the innocent, 16 What helpeth it to geue a foole mony in his hand, wher as he hath no mind to bye wysdome? 17 He is a frende that alway loueth, and in aduersite a man shal know who is hys brother. 18 Whoso promyseth by the hande, and is suertye: or another, he is a foole. 19 He that loueth stryfe, delyteth in synne: & who so setteth his dore to hye, seketh after a fall. 20 Who so hath a frowarde herte obtayneth no good: & he that hath an ouerthwarte tonge, shall fall into myschyefe. 21 An vnwyse body bringeth him selfe into sorow, and the father of a foole can haue no ioye. 22 A merye hert maketh a lusty age, but a sorowful mind dryeth vp the bones. 23 The vngodlye taketh gyftes out of the bosome, to wrest the waies of iudgment. 24 Wysdome shineth in the face of hym that hath vnderstanding, but the eies of fooles wander thorow out all landes. 25 An vndiscrete sonne is a grefe vnto his father, & an heuynesse vnto hys mother that bare him 26 To punish the innocent, and to smite the princes that geue true iudgmente, are both euell. 27 He is wyse and discrete, that tempereth his wordes: and he is a man of vnderstandinge, that maketh much of his spirite. 28 Yea a verye foole (when he holdeth his tonge) is counted wyse, and to haue vnderstandinge, when he shutteth his lyppes.
Great(i) 1 Better is a drye morsell wyth quyetnesse, then a house full of fatt offringe with stryfe. 2 A discrete seruaunt shall haue more rule then the sonnes that haue no wysdome, and shall haue lyke heritage with the brethren. 3 Lyke as syluer is tryed in the fyre, and golde in the fornace, euen so doth the Lorde proue the hertes. 4 A wycked body gyueth audience to false lyppes, & a frowarde personne geueth eare to a disceatfull tonge. 5 Who so laugheth the poore to scorne, blasphemeth his maker: and he that is glad of another mans hurte, shall not be vnpunyshed. 6 Chylders chyldren are a worshyppe vnto the elders, and the fathers are the honoure of the chyldren. 7 Speach of auctorytie becommeth not a foole, moche lesse a lyinge mouth then besemeth a prince. 8 A rewarde is as a precious stone vnto him that hath it: but vnto whomsoeuer it turneth it maketh him vnwise. 9 Who so couereth another mans offence, seketh loue: but he that discloseth the faute, setteth the prynce agaynst him selfe. 10 One reprofe onely doth more good to hym that hath vnderstandynge, then an .C. strypes vnto a foole. 11 A sedycious personne seketh myschefe, & therfore is a cruell messaunger sent agaynst him. 12 It were better to come agaynst a she Beare robbed of her whelpes, then agaynst a foole in his foolishnes. 13 Who so rewardeth euell for good, the plage shall not departe from his house. 14 The beginninge of stryfe is as when a man maketh an Issue for water, therfore or the metynge be leaue of contencyon. 15 The Lorde hateth as well him that iustifieth the vngodly, as him that condempneth the innocent. 16 What helpeth it to geue a foole treasure in hys hande, where as he hath no mynde to bye wysdome? 17 He is a frende that all waye loueth, and in aduersyte a man shall knowe who is hys brother. 18 Who so promyseth by the hande, and is suertye for his neyghboure, he is a foole. 19 He that delyteth in synne loueth stryfe: and who so setteth his dore to hye, seketh after a fall. 20 Who so hath a frowarde herte, opteyneth no good: and he that hath an ouerthwarte tonge, shall fall into myschefe. 21 He that begettith a fole begettith his sorowe, & the father of a foole can haue no ioye. 22 A mery herte maketh a lusty age, but a sorowfull mynde dryeth vp the bones. 23 The vngodly taketh gyftes out of the bosome, to wreste the wayes of iudgement. 24 Wysdome shyneth in the face of him that hath vnderstandynge, but the eyes of fooles wandre thorowe out all landes. 25 An vndiscrete sonne is a grefe vnto hys father, and an heuynesse vnto hys mother. 26 To punyshe the innocent, and to smite the prynces that geue true iudgement, are both euell. 27 A wyse man, vseth fewe wordes, and he is a man of vnderstandynge, that maketh moch of hys sprete. 28 Yee a very foole (when he holdeth hys tonge) is counted wyse, and to haue vnderstandynge, when he shutteth hys lyppes.
Geneva(i) 1 Better is a dry morsell, if peace be with it, then an house full of sacrifices with strife. 2 A discrete seruant shall haue rule ouer a lewde sonne, and hee shall deuide the heritage among the brethren. 3 As is the fining pot for siluer, and the fornace for golde, so the Lord trieth the heartes. 4 The wicked giueth heed to false lippes, and a lyer hearkeneth to the naughtie tongue. 5 Hee that mocketh the poore, reprocheth him, that made him: and he that reioyceth at destruction, shall not be vnpunished. 6 Childres children are the crowne of the elders: and the glory of ye children are their fathers. 7 Hie talke becommeth not a foole, much lesse a lying talke a prince. 8 A rewarde is as a stone pleasant in the eyes of them that haue it: it prospereth, whithersoeuer it turneth. 9 Hee that couereth a transgression, seeketh loue: but hee that repeateth a matter, separateth the prince. 10 A reproofe entereth more into him that hath vnderstanding, then an hundreth stripes into a foole. 11 A sedicious person seeketh onely euill, and a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12 It is better for a man to meete a beare robbed of her whelpes, then a foole in his follie. 13 He that rewardeth euil for good, euil shall not depart from his house. 14 The beginning of strife is as one that openeth the waters: therefore or the contention be medled with, leaue off. 15 He that iustifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the iust, euen they both are abomination to the Lord. 16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of the foole to get wisdome, and he hath none heart? 17 A friende loueth at all times: and a brother is borne for aduersitie. 18 A man destitute of vnderstanding, toucheth the hande, and becommeth suretie for his neighbour. 19 He loueth transgression, that loueth strife: and he that exalteth his gate, seeketh destruction. 20 The froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a naughtie tongue, shall fall into euill. 21 He that begetteth a foole, getteth himselfe sorow, and the father of a foole can haue no ioy. 22 A ioyfull heart causeth good health: but a sorowfull minde dryeth the bones. 23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosome to wrest the wayes of iudgement. 24 Wisdome is in the face of him that hath vnderstanding: but the eyes of a foole are in the corners of the world. 25 A foolish sonne is a griefe vnto his father, and a heauines to her that bare him. 26 Surely it is not good to condemne the iust, nor that ye princes should smite such for equitie. 27 Hee that hath knowledge, spareth his wordes, and a man of vnderstanding is of an excellent spirit. 28 Euen a foole (when he holdeth his peace) is counted wise, and hee that stoppeth his lips, prudent.
Bishops(i) 1 Better is a drye morsell with quietnesse, then a house full of fat offeryng with strife 2 A discrete seruaunt shall haue rule ouer a lewde sonne, and shal haue heritage with the brethren 3 As siluer is tryed in the fire, and golde in the furnace: so doth the Lorde proue the heartes 4 A wicked body geueth heede to false lippes, and a lyer geueth eare to a deceiptfull tongue 5 Who so scorneth the poore, blasphemeth his maker: and he that is glad at [another mans] hurt, shall not be vnpunished 6 Childers children are a crowne of the aged, and the fathers are the honour of the children 7 Speache of aucthoritie becommeth not a foole, much lesse a lying mouth then beseemeth a prince 8 A gyft is as a precious stone vnto hym that hath it: but vnto whom soeuer it turneth, it maketh hym vnwise 9 Who so couereth a fault, procureth loue: but he that discloseth it, deuideth very frendes 10 One reproofe more feareth a wise man, then an hundred stripes doth a foole 11 A seditious person seketh mischiefe, and a cruell messenger shalbe sent agaynst hym 12 It were better to meete a shee beare robbed of her whelpes, then a foole [trusting] in his foolishnesse 13 Who so rewardeth euill for good, euil shall not depart from his house 14 The beginning of strife is, as when a man maketh an issue for water: therfore leaue of before the contention be medled with 15 The Lorde hateth as well hym that iustifieth the vngodly, as him that condempneth the innocent 16 Whereto hath a foole treasure in his hande to bye wisdome, seeing he hath no minde therto 17 He is a frende that alway loueth, and in aduersitie a man shall knowe who is his brother 18 Who so promiseth by the hande and is suretie for his neighbour, he is a foole 19 He that delighteth in sinne, loueth strife: and who so setteth his doore to hye, seeketh destruction 20 Who so hath a frowarde heart, obteyneth no good: and he that hath a double tongue, shall fall into mischiefe 21 He that begetteth a foole, begetteth his sorowe: and the father of a foole can haue no ioy 22 A mery heart make a lustie age: but a sorowfull minde dryeth vp the bones 23 The vngodly taketh gyftes out of the bosome, to wrest the wayes of iudgement 24 Wisdome [shineth] in the face of hym that hath vnderstanding: but the eyes of fooles wander throughout al landes 25 An vndiscrete sonne is a griefe vnto his father: and an heauinesse vnto his mother 26 Certaynely to condempne the iust is not good: nor to strike the gouernours whiche iudge rightly 27 A wyse man vseth fewe wordes, and a man of vnderstanding is of a pacient spirite 28 Yea, a very foole when he holdeth his tongue is counted wise: and he that stoppeth his lippes is esteemed prudent
DouayRheims(i) 1 Better is a dry morsel with joy, than a house full of victims with strife. 2 A wise servant shall rule over foolish sons, and shall divide the inheritance among the brethren. 3 As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace: so the Lord trieth the hearts. 4 The evil man obeyeth an unjust tongue: and the deceitful hearkeneth to lying lips. 5 He that despiseth the poor, reproacheth his maker: and he that rejoiceth at another man's ruin, shall not be unpunished. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers. 7 Eloquent words do not become a fool, nor lying lips a prince. 8 The expectation of him that expecteth is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely. 9 He that concealeth a transgression, seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends. 10 A reproof availeth more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool. 11 An evil man always seeketh quarrels: but a cruel angel shall be sent against him. 12 It is better to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool trusting in his own folly. 13 He that rendereth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. 14 The beginning of quarrels is as when one letteth out water: and before he suffereth reproach, he forsaketh judgment. 15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God. 16 What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils. 17 He that is a friend loveth at all times: and a brother is proved in distress. 18 A foolish man will clap hands, when he is surety for his friend. 19 He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin. 20 He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil. 21 A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool. 22 A joyful mind maketh age flourishing: a sorrowful spirit drieth up the bones. 23 The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment. 24 Wisdom shineth in the face of the wise: the eyes of fools are in the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him. 26 It is no good thing to do hurt to the just: nor to strike the prince, who judgeth right. 27 He that setteth bounds to his words, is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit. 28 Even a fool, if he will hold his peace, shall be counted wise: and if he close his lips, a man of understanding.
KJV(i) 1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. 2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. 3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. 4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. 5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. 7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. 8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. 9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. 11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. 13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. 14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. 15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. 16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? 17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. 18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. 19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. 20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. 21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy. 22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. 23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. 24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. 26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity. 27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. 28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Thomson(i) 1 Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace; than a house full of goods and ill gotten dainties, with contention. 2 A wise servant will rule over foolish masters; and divide portions among brothers. 3 As silver and gold are tried in a furnace; so are chosen hearts, by the Lord. 4 A wicked man hearkeneth to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man payeth no attention to lying lips. 5 He who derideth a man in distress provoketh his maker; and he who rejoiceth at another's ruin shall not go unpunished: but he who sheweth compassion shall find mercy. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men: and the boast of children, is their fathers. Every ornament of wealth belongeth to the faithful; but to the unfaithful, not a farthing. 7 Faithful lips will not harmonize with a fool; nor lying lips with a righteous man. 8 Instruction is a precious reward to them who use it: and whithersoever it turneth it will prosper. 9 He who hideth transgressions seeketh friendship: but he who hateth to conceal, setteth friends and relations at varriance. 10 A threat affecteth the heart of the prudent: but a fool, though scourged, is not made sensible. 11 Every wicked man stirreth up contention: but the Lord will send him a cruel messenger. 12 Trouble may befal a prudent man: but the foolish will devise mischief. 13 Whosoever returneth evil for good; from his house evils shall not depart. 14 A righteous government giveth force to words: but sedition and quarrelling are the forerunners of want. 15 He who acquitteth the wicked and condemneth the just, is unclean and abominable in the sight of God. 16 Why should a fool have wealth? For the stupid cannot purchase wisdom. He who buildeth his house high seeketh destruction: and he who is backward to learn shall fall into evils. 17 For every occasion have a friend; but in distress let brothers be assistant: for they are born for this purpose. 18 A man void of understanding clappeth his hands and applaudeth himself on becoming surety for his friends, 19 He who is fond of sinning delighteth in quarrels: 20 but he who is stubborn doth not meet with good. A man of a changeable tongue will fall into evils: but the heart of a fool is sorrow to him who hath it. 21 A father hath no joy in an unteachable son: but a prudent son is the joy of his mother. 22 A cheerful heart promoteth health; but the bones of a heart wounded man are dried up. 23 When one unrighteously receiveth gifts in his bosom; his ways will not be straight. But a wicked man perverteth the ways of justice. 24 The countenance of a wise man is intelligent; but the fool's eyes are on the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a vexation to a father; and sorrow to her who bore him. 26 To fine a righteous man is not good: nor is it consistent with piety to plot against righteous rulers. 27 He who forbeareth to utter a harsh word is prudent: and he who is slow to anger is a man of understanding. 28 Wisdom will be imputed to a fool, who inquireth after wisdom: and he who imposeth silence on himself will be esteemed wise.

Brenton(i) 1 Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house full of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife. 2 A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren. 3 As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord. 4 A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips. 5 He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. (17:6A) The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing. 7 Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man. 8 Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward; and whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper. 9 He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide them separates friends and kindred. 10 A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not. 11 Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger. 12 Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils. 13 Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house. 14 Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty. 15 He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God. 16 Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. (17:16A) He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief. 17 Have thou a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born. 18 A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, as he also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends. 19 A lover of sin rejoices in strifes; 20 and the hard-hearted man comes not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs; 21 and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother. 22 A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up. 23 The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness. 24 The countenance of a wise man is sensible; but the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him. 26 It is not right to punish a righteous man, nor is it holy to plot against righteous princes. 27 He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, and a patient man is wise. 28 Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
Brenton_Greek(i) 1 Κρείσσων ψωμὸς μεθʼ ἡδονῆς ἐν εἰρήνη, ἢ οἶκος πολλῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἀδίκων θυμάτων μετὰ μάχης. 2 Οἰκέτης νοήμων κρατήσει δεσποτῶν ἀφρόνων, ἐν δὲ ἀδελφοῖς διελεῖται μέρη. 3 Ὥσπερ δοκιμάζεται ἐν καμίνῳ ἄργυρος καὶ χρυσὸς, οὕτως ἐκλεκταὶ καρδίαι παρὰ Κυρίῳ. 4 Κακὸς ὑπακούει γλώσσης παρανόμων, δίκαιος δὲ οὐ προσέχει χείλεσι ψευδέσιν. 5 Ὁ καταγελῶν πτωχοῦ παροξύνει τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτὸν, ὁ δὲ ἐπιχαίρων ἀπολλυμένῳ οὐκ ἀθῳωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ἐπισπλαγχνιζόμενος ἐλεηθήσεται.
6 Στέφανος γερόντων τέκνα τέκνων, καύχημα δὲ τέκνων πατέρες αὐτῶν· τοῦ πιστοῦ ὅλος ὁ κόσμος τῶν χρημάτων, τοῦ δὲ ἀπίστου οὐδὲ ὀβολός. 7 Οὐχ ἁρμόσει ἄφρονι χείλη πιστὰ, οὐδὲ δικαίῳ χείλη ψευδῆ. 8 Μισθὸς χαρίτων παιδεία τοῖς χρωμένοις, οὗ δʼ ἂν ἐπιστρέψῃ εὐοδωθήσεται. 9 Ὃς κρύπτει ἀδικήματα, ζητεῖ φιλίαν· ὃς δὲ μισεῖ κρύπτειν, διΐστησι φίλους καὶ οἰκείους. 10 Συντρίβει ἀπειλὴ καρδίαν φρονίμου, ἄφρων δὲ μαστιγωθεὶς οὐκ αἰσθάνεται. 11 Ἀντιλογίας ἐγείρει πᾶς κακὸς, ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἄγγελον ἀνελεήμονα ἐκπέμψει αὐτῷ.
12 Ἐμπεσεῖται μέριμνα ἀνδρὶ νοήμονι, οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες διαλογιοῦνται κακά. 13 Ὃς ἀποδίδωσι κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, οὐ κινηθήσεται κακὰ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ. 14 Ἐξουσίαν δίδωσι λόγοις ἀρχὴ δικαιοσύνης, προηγεῖται δὲ τῆς ἐνδείας στάσις καὶ μάχη. 15 Ὃς δίκαιον κρίνει τὸν ἄδικον, ἄδικον δὲ τὸν δίκαιον, ἀκάθαρτος καὶ βδελυκτὸς παρὰ Θεῷ. 16 Ἱνατί ὑπῆρξε χρήματα ἄφρονι; κτήσασθαι γὰρ σοφίαν ἀκάρδιος οὐ δυνήσεται· ὃς ὑψηλὸν ποιεῖ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ οἶκον, ζητεῖ συντριβήν· ὁ δὲ σκολιάζων τοῦ μαθεῖν, ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακά. 17 Εἰς πάντα καιρὸν φίλος ὑπαρχέτω σοι, ἀδελφοὶ δὲ ἐν ἀνάγκαις χρήσιμοι ἔστωσαν, τούτου γὰρ χάριν γεννῶνται. 18 Ἀνὴρ ἄφρων ἐπικροτεῖ καὶ ἐπιχαίρει ἑαυτῷ, ὡς καὶ ὁ ἐγγυώμενος ἐγγύῃ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ φίλων.
19 Φιλαμαρτήμων χαίρει μάχαις, 20 ὁ δὲ σκληροκάρδιος οὐ συναντᾷ ἀγαθοῖς· ἀνὴρ εὐμετάβολος γλώσσῃ ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακά, καρδία δὲ ἄφρονος ὀδύνη τῷ κεκτημένῳ αὐτήν· 21 οὐκ εὐφραίνεται πατὴρ ἐφ’ υἱῷ ἀπαιδεύτῳ, υἱὸς δὲ φρόνιμος εὐφραίνει μητέρα αὐτοῦ. 22 Καρδία εὐφραινομένη εὐεκτεῖν ποιεῖ, ἀνδρὸς δὲ λυπηροῦ ξηραίνεται τὰ ὀστᾶ. 23 Λαμβάνοντος δῶρα ἀδίκως ἐν κόλποις οὐ κατευοδοῦνται ὁδοί, ἀσεβὴς δὲ ἐκκλίνει ὁδοὺς δικαιοσύνης. 24 Πρόσωπον συνετὸν ἀνδρὸς σοφοῦ, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ τοῦ ἄφρονος ἐπʼ ἄκρα γῆς. 25 Ὀργὴ πατρὶ υἱὸς ἄφρων, καὶ ὀδύνη τῇ τεκούσῃ αὐτόν.

Leeser(i) 1 Better is a piece of dry bread, and quiet therewith, than a house full of the sacrifices of contention. 2 An intelligent servant will have rule over a son that bringeth shame, and among the brothers will he have part of the inheritance. 3 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but the Lord probeth the hearts. 4 An evil-doer listeneth to unjust lips: falsehood giveth ear to a tongue that bringeth destruction. 5 Whoso mocketh the poor blasphemeth his Maker: he that is glad at calamities will not remain unpunished. 6 The crown of old men are children’s children; and the ornament of children are their fathers. 7 High-toned language is not seemly to a worthless fool: and yet much less the language of falsehood to a noble. 8 As a precious stone appeareth a bribe in the eyes of him that obtaineth it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. 9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth confident friends. 10 A reproof penetrateth more deeply into a wise man, than a hundred stripes into a fool. 11 Only rebellion doth a bad man seek: therefore a cruel messenger will be sent out against him. 12 A man may meet a she-bear robbed of her whelps, but not a fool in his folly. 13 Whoso bestoweth evil in return for good—evil shall not depart from his house. 14 As one letteth loose a stream of water, so is the beginning of strife: therefore before it be enkindled, leave off the contest. 15 He that declareth the wicked innocent, and he that condemneth the righteous, yea, both of them are equally an abomination to the Lord. 16 Wherefore is the purchase-money in the hand of a fool to acquire wisdom, seeing he hath no sense? 17 A friend loveth at all times, and as a brother is he born for the time of distress. 18 A man void of sense pledgeth his hand, and becometh surety for his friend. 19 He loveth transgression that loveth quarrel; and he that maketh high his door seeketh destruction. 20 He that hath a froward heart will not find happiness; and he that hath a perverse tongue will fall into evil. 21 He that begetteth a fool doth it to his sorrow; and the father of a worthless fool cannot have any joy. 22 A merry heart causeth a healthy appearance of the countenance, but a depressed spirit drieth up the bones. 23 A wicked man taketh a bribe out of the bosom, to pervert the paths of justice. 24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are at the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a vexation to his father, and bitterness to her that hath born him. 26 To punish the just with a fine even is not good, nor to strike the noble-hearted for their equity. 27 He that holdeth back his speeches hath knowledge; and he that is sparing of his spirit is a man of understanding. 28 Even a fool, when he keepeth silence, is counted wise: he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
YLT(i) 1 Better is a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of strife.
2 A wise servant ruleth over a son causing shame, And in the midst of brethren He apportioneth an inheritance.
3 A refining pot is for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts is Jehovah.
4 An evil doer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue.
5 Whoso is mocking at the poor Hath reproached his Maker, Whoso is rejoicing at calamity is not acquitted.
6 Sons' sons are the crown of old men, And the glory of sons are their fathers.
7 Not comely for a fool is a lip of excellency, Much less for a noble a lip of falsehood.
8 A stone of grace is the bribe in the eyes of its possessors, Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9 Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.
10 Rebuke cometh down on the intelligent More than a hundred stripes on a fool.
11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion, And a fierce messenger is sent against him.
12 The meeting of a bereaved bear by a man, And—not a fool in his folly.
13 Whoso is returning evil for good, Evil moveth not from his house.
14 The beginning of contention is a letting out of waters, And before it is meddled with leave the strife.
15 Whoso is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these are an abomination to Jehovah.
16 Why is this—a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart there is none?
17 At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for adversity is born.
18 A man lacking heart is striking hands, A surety he becometh before his friend.
19 Whoso is loving transgression is loving debate, Whoso is making high his entrance is seeking destruction.
20 The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.
21 Whoso is begetting a fool hath affliction for it, Yea, the father of a fool rejoiceth not.
22 A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten spirit drieth the bone.
23 A bribe from the bosom the wicked taketh, To turn aside the paths of judgment.
24 The face of the intelligent is to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool—at the end of the earth.
25 A provocation to his father is a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.
26 Also, to fine the righteous is not good, To smite nobles for uprightness.
27 One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper is a man of understanding. 28 Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!
JuliaSmith(i) 1 Good a dry morsel and peace with it, above a house full of sacrifices of contention. 2 An understanding servant shall rule a son causing shame, and shall divide the inheritance in the midst of the brethren. 3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold: and Jehovah tries hearts. 4 He doing evil attends upon, lips of vanity; he lying feeds upon a tongue of mischief 5 He mocking to the poor one reproached him making him: and he rejoicing at misfortune shall not be unpunished. 6 The crown of old men, sons' sons: and the glory of sons their fathers. 7 The lip of excellence is not becoming to, the foolish one: much less the lip. of falsehood to the noble one. 8 The gift a stone of grace in the, eyes of him possessing it: to all which it shall turn it shall prosper. 9 He covering transgression seeks love; and he perverting in the word, separates a, friend. 10 A reproof will take hold upon, him understanding more than a hundred, blows the foolish. 11 An evil one will seek only contradiction.: and a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12 A bereaved bear meeting with a, man, and not a fool in his folly. 13 He turning back evil, instead of good, evil shall not move from his house. 14 The causing water to break forth. is the beginning of strife: cast off contention before being irritated. 15 He justifying the unjust one and he condemning the just one, is an abomination to Jehovah, also they two. 16 Wherefore this a price in the hand of the foolish one to obtain wisdom, and no heart? 17 A friend loves in all time, and a brother shall be born for straits. 18 A man wanting heart will strike the hand, pledging a pledge before his friend. 19 He loving transgression loves contention: he lifting up his gate seeks breaking. 20 The perverse of heart shall not find good: and he turning about with his tongue shall fall into evil. 21 The foolish one was born for sorrow to himself, and the father of the foolish one shall not rejoice., 22 A joyful heart shall make good healing: and a dejected spirit shall dry up the bones. 23 The unjust one will take a gift from the bosom to turn, aside the paths of judgment 24 Wisdom, is with the face of him understanding, and the eyes of the foolish one are in the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son a grief to his father, and bitterness to her bringing him forth. 26 Also punishing to the just one is not good, to strike nobles for uprightness. 27 He withholding his words will shew knowledge: I man of understanding is a cool spirit 28 Also the foolish one being silent shall be thought wise: and he shutting his lips, understanding.

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 1 Better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith, than a house full of feasting with strife. 2 A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that dealeth shamefully, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. 3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but the LORD trieth the hearts. 4 A evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; and a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue. 5 Whoso mocketh the poor blasphemeth his Maker; and he that is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. 7 Overbearing speech becometh not a churl; much less do lying lips a prince. 8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it; whithersoever he turneth, he prospereth. 9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that harpeth on a matter estrangeth a familiar friend. 10 A rebuke entereth deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred stripes into a fool. 11 A rebellious man seeketh only evil; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. 13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. 14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water; therefore leave off contention, before the quarrel break out. 15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, even they both are an abomination to the LORD. 16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, seeing he hath no understanding? 17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. 18 A man void of understanding is he that striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his neighbour. 19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife; he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. 20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good; and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into evil. 21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow; and the father of a churl hath no joy. 22 A merry heart is a good medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones. 23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom, to pervert the ways of justice. 24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is vexation to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him. 26 To punish also the righteous is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness. 27 He that spareth his words hath knowledge; and he that husbandeth his spirit is a man of discernment. 28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed as a man of understanding.
Rotherham(i) 1 Better a dry morsel, and peace therewith, than a house full of contentious sacrifices.
2 A prudent servant, shall rule over a son who causeth shame, and, in the midst of brothers, shall he share the inheritance.
3 Fining–pot for silver, crucible for gold, but, he that trieth hearts, is Yahweh.
4 Discord, giveth heed to the aggrieving lip,––Falsehood, giveth ear to the destroying tongue.
5 He that mocketh the poor, hath reproached his Maker, He that maketh merry at distress, shall not be held innocent.
6 The crown of old men, consists of children’s children, and the adornment of children, is their fathers.
7 Unseemly in an unworthy man, is the lip of excellence, much more, in one of noble mind, the lip of falsehood.
8 A gift, in the eyes of its owner, is, a stone of beauty, whithersoever it turneth, it bringeth prosperity.
9 He that hideth a transgression, seeketh love, but, he that repeateth a matter, separateth intimate friends.
10 A reproof sinketh more deeply into an intelligent man than a hundred stripes, into a dullard!
11 Nothing less than rebellion, doth a wicked man seek, and, a relentless messenger, shall be sent out against him.
12 Let a bereaved bear encounter man, rather than a dullard, with his folly!
13 He that returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 A letting forth of water, is the beginning of strife, therefore, before it breaketh out, abandon, contention.
15 He that justifieth the lawless, and he that condemneth the righteous, an abomination to Yahweh, are they, both.
16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a dullard? that he who is without sense, may acquire wisdom.
17 At all times, doth a friend love, and, a brother for distress, must be born.
18 A man lacking sense, is one who striketh hands, giving security, before his neighbour.
19 A lover of transgression, is one who loveth strife, he that heighteneth his door, seeketh grievous harm.
20 The crooked in heart, shall not find good, and, he that is perverse with his tongue, shall fall into wickedness.
21 He that begetteth a dullard, it is to his own grief, neither can the father of the base, rejoice.
22 A joyful heart, worketh an excellent cure,––but, a stricken spirit, drieth up the bone.
23 A bribe out of his bosom, doth a lawless man take, to pervert the ways of justice.
24 Before the face of the discerning, is wisdom, but, the eyes of a dullard, are in the ends of the earth.
25 A vexation to his father, is the son that is a dullard, and a bitterness, to her that bare him.
26 Surely, to chastise the righteous, is not good, to smite the noble–minded for equity.
27 Sparing of his words, is one who valueth knowledge, and, of a thoughtful spirit, is a man of intelligence. 28 Even a fool, holding his peace, is accounted, wise,––He that closeth his lips, [is thought] to have understanding.
CLV(i) 1 Better is a dried-up morsel when ease is with it Than a house full of sacrifices, with contention." 2 An intelligent servant rules over a son who causes shame And is apportioned an allotment in the midst of the brothers. 3 The smelter for silver and the crucible for gold, Yet Yahweh is testing hearts." 4 The evildoer attends to lawless lips; The false man gives ear to the woe-scheming tongue. 5 He who derides the destitute one reproaches his Maker; He who rejoices at calamity shall not be held innocent. 6 Sons of sons are the crown of the old, And their fathers are the beauty of sons." 7 Excelling eloquence does not seem comely in the decadent person; How much less indeed false eloquence in the patron. 8 A bribe is like a stone for favor in the eyes of its grand possessor; Wherever it is present it proceeds effectively. 9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, Yet he who repeats the matter parts one from his mentor." 10 A rebuke settles deeper into one of understanding Than a hundred smitings into a stupid man. 11 A rebellious man is seeking only evil, And a cruel messenger is sent to him." 12 Let a bereaved bear encounter a man, But certainly not a stupid person in his folly." 13 If one returns evil for good, Evil shall not remove itself from his house." 14 The beginning of a quarrel is like opening up a dam of water, So before the contention rails, abandon it." 15 He who justifies the wicked person and he who condemns the righteous man, Even both of them are an abhorrence to Yahweh." 16 Why then should the price be in the hand of a stupid man To acquire wisdom, since he has no heart understanding? 17 The close associate keeps friendship at all times, And a brother is born to share distress." 18 A man who lacks heart understanding will clasp his palm in pledge, Becoming hostage as surety in the presence of his associate." 19 He who loves transgression loves strife; He who makes his portal lofty seeks its breaking down. 20 A perverse heart does not find good, And he who is devious in his tongue falls into evil." 21 One who begets a stupid child has affliction for himself, And a father of a decadent son cannot rejoice." 22 A rejoicing heart does good as a cure, Yet a despondent spirit dries up the ribs." 23 A wicked man takes a bribe from the bosom To turn aside the paths of right judgment. 24 Wisdom lies before the face of the man of understanding, Yet the eyes of the stupid one roam to the ends of the earth." 25 A stupid son is vexation to his father And bitterness to her who bore him. 26 To fine also the righteous person is not good, Or to smite patrons for their uprightness." 27 One who knows knowledge keeps back on his sayings, And the man of comprehension is cool of spirit." 28 Even a fool who keeps silence is reckoned wise; He who closes up his lips has understanding.
BBE(i) 1 Better a bit of dry bread in peace, than a house full of feasting and violent behaviour. 2 A servant who does wisely will have rule over a son causing shame, and will have his part in the heritage among brothers. 3 The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, but the Lord is the tester of hearts. 4 A wrongdoer gives attention to evil lips, and a man of deceit gives ear to a damaging tongue. 5 Whoever makes sport of the poor puts shame on his Maker; and he who is glad because of trouble will not go free from punishment. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers. 7 Fair words are not to be looked for from a foolish man, much less are false lips in a ruler. 8 An offering of money is like a stone of great price in the eyes of him who has it: wherever he goes, he does well. 9 He who keeps a sin covered is looking for love; but he who keeps on talking of a thing makes division between friends. 10 A word of protest goes deeper into one who has sense than a hundred blows into a foolish man. 11 An uncontrolled man is only looking for trouble, so a cruel servant will be sent against him. 12 It is better to come face to face with a bear whose young ones have been taken away than with a foolish man acting foolishly. 13 If anyone gives back evil for good, evil will never go away from his house. 14 The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows. 15 He who gives a decision for the evil-doer and he who gives a decision against the upright, are equally disgusting to the Lord. 16 How will money in the hand of the foolish get him wisdom, seeing that he has no sense? 17 A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble. 18 A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour. 19 The lover of fighting is a lover of sin: he who makes high his doorway is looking for destruction. 20 Nothing good comes to him whose heart is fixed on evil purposes: and he who has an evil tongue will come to trouble. 21 He who has an unwise son gets sorrow for himself, and the father of a foolish son has no joy. 22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry. 23 A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause. 24 Wisdom is before the face of him who has sense; but the eyes of the foolish are on the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitter pain to her who gave him birth. 26 To give punishment to the upright is not good, or to give blows to the noble for their righteousness. 27 He who has knowledge says little: and he who has a calm spirit is a man of good sense. 28 Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense.
MKJV(i) 1 Better is a dry piece of bread, and quietness with it, than a house full of sacrifices with fighting. 2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son who causes shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brothers. 3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Jehovah tries the hearts. 4 A wicked doer gives heed to false lips; a liar gives ear to an evil tongue. 5 Whoever scorns the poor reviles his Maker; he who is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. 6 Sons of sons are the crown of old men, and the glory of sons are their fathers. 7 An excellent lip is not fitting for a fool; much less are lying lips fitting for a prince. 8 A bribe is like a precious stone in the eyes of him who has it; wherever he turns, he is prudent. 9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends. 10 A reproof enters more into a wise man than a thousand stripes into a fool. 11 An evil one seeks only rebellion; so a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12 Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. 13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. 14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water; therefore leave off fighting, before it breaks out. 15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, even both of them are hateful to Jehovah. 16 Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, since he has no heart for it? 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for the time of trouble. 18 A man lacking heart strikes hands; he pledges in the presence of his friend. 19 He who loves fighting loves transgression; he who makes his gate high seeks ruin. 20 He who has a perverse heart finds no good, and he who has a crooked tongue falls into mischief. 21 He who fathers a fool does it to his sorrow; the father of a fool has no joy. 22 A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. 23 A wicked man takes a bribe out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. 24 Wisdom is before him who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him. 26 And it is not good to punish the just, nor to strike princes for uprightness. 27 He who has knowledge uses few words; a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. 28 Even a fool, when he is silent, is counted wise, and he who shuts his lips is counted as a man of understanding.

ECB(i) 1 Better, a parched morsel with serenity than a house full of sacrifices with strife. 2 A comprehending servant reigns over a son who shames; and allots the inheritance among the brothers. 3 The crucible for silver; the furnace for gold; and Yah Veh proofs the hearts. 4 A vilifier hearkens to lips of mischief; and a falsifier hearkens to a tongue of calamity. 5 Whoever derides the impoverished reproaches his Worker; whoever cheers at calamities is not exonerated. 6 Sons of sons are the crown of the aged; and the beauty of sons are their fathers. 7 A lip of rest befits not a fool; much less false lips a volunteer. 8 A bribe is as a stone of charism in the eyes of his master; wherever it faces, it comprehends. 9 He who covers a rebellion seeks love; and he who reiterates a word separates friends. 10 Rebuke penetrates a discerner more than a hundred smitings to a fool. 11 A rebel seeks evil; a cruel angel is sent against him. 12 May a bereaved bear meet a man but not a fool in his folly. 13 Whoever returns evil for good evil departs not from his house. 14 The beginning of strife is as a bursting of water leave off contention ere it faces a quarrel. 15 He who justifies the wicked and he who judges wicked the just - even they both are abhorrence to Yah Veh. 16 Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to chattelize wisdom, when he has no heart for it? 17 A friend loves at all times and a brother is birthed for tribulation. 18 A human who lacks heart claps palms; and becomes a pledge at the face of his friend. 19 He who loves rebellion, loves strife; and he who lifts his portal, seeks a breech. 20 A perverted heart finds no good; and a turned tongue falls into evil. 21 He who births a fool has grief; and the father of a fool cheers not. 22 A cheerful heart well-pleases as a cure; and a stricken spirit dries the bones. 23 The wicked take a bribe from the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. 24 Wisdom faces him who discerns; and the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a vexation to his father and bitterness to her who birthed him. 26 Also, neither penalize the just for good, nor smite volunteers for straightness. 27 He who knows knowledge spares his sayings; and a man of discernment is of cool spirit. 28 Even a fool, when he hushes, is fabricated wise; he who shuts his lips is a discerner.

He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men; the glory of children are their parents. 7 Arrogant speech isn't fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince. 8 A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers. 9 He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends. 10 A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool. 11 An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12 Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. 13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. 14 The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out. 15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD. 16 Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, seeing he has no understanding? 17 A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity. 18 A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor. 19 He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction. 20 One who has a perverse heart doesn't find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble. 21 He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy. 22 A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. 23 A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice. 24 Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander everywhere. 25 A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him. 26 Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity. 27 He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding. 28 Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

CAB(i) 1 Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house full of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife. 2 A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren. 3 As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord. 4 A bad man listens to the tongue of transgressors, but a righteous man attends not to false lips. 5 He that laughs at the poor provokes Him that made him, and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless; but he that has compassion shall find mercy. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. (17:6A) The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing. 7 Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man. 8 Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward; and wherever it may turn, it shall prosper. 9 He that conceals injuries seeks love, but he that hates to hide them separates friends and kindred. 10 A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man, but a fool, though scourged, understands not. 11 Every bad man stirs up strife, but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger. 12 Care may befall a man of understanding, but fools will meditate evils. 13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house. 14 Rightful rule gives power to words, but sedition and strife precede poverty. 15 He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable before God. 16 Why has the fool wealth? For a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. (17:16A) He that exalts his own house seeks ruin, and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief. 17 A friend loves at all times, and let brothers be useful in distress, for on this account are they born. 18 A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, as he also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends. 19 A lover of sin rejoices in strife, 20 and the hard-hearted man finds no good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischief, 21 and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son, but a wise son gladdens his mother. 22 A glad heart promotes health, but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up. 23 The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper, and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness. 24 The countenance of a wise man is sensible, but the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him. 26 It is not right to punish a righteous man, nor is it holy to plot against righteous princes. 27 He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, and a patient man is wise. 28 Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom, and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
LXX2012(i) 1 Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house [full] of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife. 2 A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren. 3 As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord. 4 A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips. 5 He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing. 7 Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man. 8 Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward; and wherever it may turn, it shall prosper. 9 He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide [them] separates friends and kindred. 10 A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not. 11 Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger. 12 Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils. 13 Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house. 14 Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty. 15 He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God. 16 Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief. 17 Have you a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born. 18 A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, [as he] also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends. 19 A lover of sin rejoices in strifes; 20 and the hard-hearted man comes not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs; 21 and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother. 22 A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up. 23 The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in [his] bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness. 24 The countenance of a wise man is sensible; but the eyes of a fool [go] to the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son [is a cause of] anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him. 26 [It is] not right to punish a righteous man, nor [is it] holy to plot against righteous princes. 27 He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, and a patient man is wise. 28 Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
NSB(i) 1 Better is dry bread in peace than a house full of feasting with discord. 2 A wise servant will rule over a son who causes shame and share the inheritance among the brothers. 3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold but Jehovah proves the heart. 4 The evildoer pays attention to false lips. A liar listens attentively to a wicked tongue. 5 When you mock the poor you disgrace your Maker. He who is glad at calamity will be punished. 6 Grandchildren are the crowns of old men. Fathers take pride in their children. 7 Excellent speech does not fit a fool; much less do lying lips a prince. 8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes its owner. He prospers in everything he does. 9 He who covers a transgression seeks love but he who gossips breaks up friendships. 10 Reproof influences a wise man more than a hundred stripes does to a fool. 11 An evil man seeks only rebellion. Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs then a fool in his foolishness. 13 Offer evil for good and evil will not depart from your house. 14 Starting a quarrel is like releasing water [from a floodgate]. Therefore stop contention before it begins. 15 Justify the wicked or condemn the just. Both are abomination to Jehovah. 16 Is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom? He has no sense! 17 A friend loves at all times. A true brother is born for adversity. 18 A man without understanding shakes hands and becomes surety for his friend. 19 He who loves transgression loves discord. He who opens his door seeks destruction. 20 He who has a deceitful heart finds no good. He who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief. 21 He who gives birth to a fool does it to his sorrow because the father of a fool has no joy. 22 A merry heart is good medicine but a broken spirit dries up the bones. 23 A wicked man takes a bribe to pervert the ways of judgment. 24 Wisdom is near the one who understands. But the eyes of a fool are far away at the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish (stupid) son is a grief to his father and bitterness to his mother. 26 It is not good to punish the righteous. It is not good to strike princes because of their uprightness. 27 The man with knowledge restrains his words. A man of understanding has a quiet spirit. 28 Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise! He who shuts his mouth is esteemed a man of understanding.
ISV(i) 1 More Words of Wisdom Dry crumbs in peace are better than a full meal with strife. 2 A prudent servant will rule in place of a disgraceful son and will share in the inheritance among brothers. 3 The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold— but the LORD assays hearts. 4 Whoever practices evil pays attention to wicked speech, and the liar listens to malicious talk. 5 Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their maker, and whoever is happy about disaster will not go unpunished. 6 Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the pride of children is their parents. 7 Appropriate speech is inconsistent with the fool; how much more are deceitful statements with a prince! 8 A bribe works wonders in the eyes of its giver; wherever he turns he prospers. 9 Anyone who overlooks an offense promotes love, but someone who gossips separates close friends. 10 A rebuke is more effective with a man of understanding than a hundred lashes to a fool. 11 A rebellious person seeks evil; a cruel emissary will be sent to oppose him. 12 It’s better to meet a mother bear who has lost her cubs than a fool in his stupidity. 13 The person who repays good with evil will never see evil leave his home. 14 Starting a quarrel is like spilling water— so drop the dispute before it escalates. 15 Exonerating the wicked and condemning the righteous are both detestable to the LORD. 16 What is this? A fool has enough money to buy wisdom, but is senseless? 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is there for times of trouble. 18 A man who lacks sense cosigns a loan, becoming a guarantor for his neighbor. 19 The person who loves transgression loves strife; the person who builds a high gate invites destruction. 20 The person whose mind is perverse does not find good, and anyone with perverted speech falls into trouble. 21 The man who fathers a fool does so to his sorrow— the father of a fool has no joy. 22 A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit drains one’s strength. 23 The wicked man takes a bribe in secret in order to pervert the course of justice. 24 A person with understanding has wisdom as his objective, but a fool looks only to earthly goals. 25 A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to his mother. 26 Furthermore, it isn’t good to fine the righteous, or to beat an official because of his uprightness. 27 Whoever controls what he says is knowledgeable; anyone who has a calm spirit is a man of understanding. 28 Even a fool is thought to be wise when he remains silent; he is thought to be prudent when he keeps his mouth shut.
LEB(i) 1 Better a dry morsel and quiet with it than a house filled with feasts of strife. 2 A slave who deals wisely will rule over a child who acts shamefully, and in the midst of brothers he will share his inheritance. 3 A crucible is for the silver, and a furnace is for the gold, but Yahweh will test hearts. 4 He who does evil listens to lips of wickedness, and the liar gives heed to the tongue of mischief. 5 He who mocks the poor insults him who made him; he who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished. 6 The crown of the elderly are ⌊grandchildren⌋,* and the glory of children is their fathers. 7 ⌊Fine speech⌋* is not becoming a fool, ⌊still less⌋* is ⌊false speech⌋* for a ruler. 8 The bribe is a stone of magic in the eyes of its owner;* ⌊everywhere⌋* he will turn, he will prosper. 9 He who forgives an affront fosters love, but he who waits on a matter will alienate a friend. 10 A rebuke strikes him who understands deeper than one hundred blows to a fool. 11 An evil person will seek only rebellion, and a cruel messenger will be sent against him. 12 May a man meet a she-bear robbed of offspring and not a fool in his folly. 13 For he who returns evil for good, evil will not depart from his house. 14 Like the release of water is the beginning of strife; before it breaks out, stop the quarrel. 15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, the two of them are both abominations of Yahweh. 16 Why is this? A price in the hand of a fool, in order to buy wisdom where* there is no ⌊sense⌋.* 17 The friend loves at all times*, but a brother is born for adversity. 18 A person who lacks ⌊sense⌋* ⌊pledges⌋;* he becomes security before his neighbor. 19 He who loves transgression loves strife; he who builds his high thresholds seeks destruction. 20 He who is crooked of heart* will not find goodness, and he who is perverse, by his tongue he will fall into calamity. 21 He who begets a fool, there is trouble for him; the father of a fool will not rejoice. 22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a downcast spirit will dry out bones. 23 The wicked will accept a bribe from the lap, in order to pervert the ways of justice. 24 He who understands sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool, to the end of the earth.* 25 A grief to his father is the child of a fool, and bitterness to her who bore him. 26 Also, imposing a fine on the righteous is not good, nor to flog nobles for uprightness. 27 He who spares his sayings knows knowledge, and a cool spirit is a man of understanding. 28 Even a fool who keeps silent ⌊shall be considered wise⌋;* he who closes his lips is intelligent.

Laß du vom Hader, ehe du drein gemengt wirst. 15 Wer den Gottlosen gerechtspricht und den Gerechten verdammt, die sind beide dem HERRN ein Greuel. 16 Was soll dem Narren Geld in der Hand, Weisheit zu kaufen, so er doch ein Narr ist? 17 Ein Freund liebt allezeit, und als ein Bruder wird er in Not erfunden. 18 Es ist ein Narr, der in die Hand gelobt und Bürge wird für seinen Nächsten. 19 Wer Zank liebt, der liebt Sünde; und wer seine Türe hoch macht, ringt nach Einsturz. 20 Ein verkehrtes Herz findet nichts Gutes; und der verkehrter Zunge ist, wird in Unglück fallen. 21 Wer einen Narren zeugt, der hat Grämen; und eines Narren Vater hat keine Freude. 22 Ein fröhlich Herz macht das Leben lustig; aber ein betrübter Mut vertrocknet das Gebein. 23 Der Gottlose nimmt heimlich gern Geschenke, zu beugen den Weg des Rechts. 24 Ein Verständiger gebärdet sich weise; ein Narr wirft die Augen hin und her. 25 Ein törichter Sohn ist seines Vaters Trauern und Betrübnis der Mutter, die ihn geboren hat. 26 Es ist nicht gut, daß man den Gerechten schindet, noch den Edlen zu schlagen, der recht handelt. 27 Ein Vernünftiger mäßigt seine Rede; und ein verständiger Mann ist kaltes Muts. 28 Ein Narr, wenn er schwiege, wurde auch für weise gerechnet, und für verständig, wenn er das Maul hielte.

DSV(i) 1 Een droge bete, en rust daarbij, is beter, dan een huis vol van geslachte beesten met twist. 2 Een verstandig knecht zal heersen over een zoon, die beschaamd maakt, en in het midden der broederen zal hij erfenis delen. 3 De smeltkroes is voor het zilver, en de oven voor het goud; maar de HEERE proeft de harten. 4 De boosdoener merkt op de ongerechtige lip; een leugenaar neigt het oor tot de verkeerde tong. 5 Die den arme bespot, smaadt deszelfs Maker; die zich verblijdt in het verderf, zal niet onschuldig zijn. 6 De kroon de ouden zijn de kindskinderen, en der kinderen sieraad zijn hun vaderen. 7 Een voortreffelijke lip past een dwaze niet, veelmin een prins een leugenachtige lip. 8 Het geschenk is in de ogen zijner heren een aangenaam gesteente; waarhenen het zich zal wenden, zal het wel gedijen. 9 Die de overtreding toedekt, zoekt liefde; maar die de zaak weder ophaalt, scheidt den voornaamsten vriend. 10 De bestraffing gaat dieper in den verstandige, dan den zot honderdmaal te slaan. 11 Zekerlijk, de wederspannige zoekt het kwaad; maar een wrede bode zal tegen hem gezonden worden. 12 Dat een beer, die van jongen beroofd is, een man tegemoet kome, maar niet een zot in zijn dwaasheid. 13 Die kwaad voor goed vergeldt, het kwaad zal van zijn huis niet wijken. 14 Het begin des krakeels is gelijk een, die het water opening geeft; daarom verlaat den twist, eer hij zich vermengt. 15 Wie den goddeloze rechtvaardigt, en den rechtvaardige verdoemt, zijn den HEERE een gruwel, ja, die beiden. 16 Waarom toch zou in de hand des zots het koopgeld zijn, om wijsheid te kopen, dewijl hij geen verstand heeft? 17 Een vriend heeft te aller tijd lief; en een broeder wordt in de benauwdheid geboren. 18 Een verstandeloos mens klapt in de hand, zich borg stellende bij zijn naaste. 19 Die het gekijf liefheeft, heeft de overtreding lief; die zijn deur verhoogt, zoekt verbreking. 20 Wie verdraaid is van hart, zal het goede niet vinden; en die verkeerd is met zijn tong, zal in het kwaad vallen. 21 Wie een zot genereert, die zal hem tot droefheid zijn; en de vader des dwazen zal zich niet verblijden. 22 Een blij hart zal een medicijn goed maken; maar een verslagen geest zal het gebeente verdrogen. 23 De goddeloze zal het geschenk uit den schoot nemen, om de paden des rechts te buigen. 24 In het aangezicht des verstandigen is wijsheid; maar de ogen des zots zijn in het einde der aarde. 25 Een zotte zoon is een verdriet voor zijn vader, en bittere droefheid voor degene, die hem gebaard heeft. 26 Het is niet goed, den rechtvaardige ook te doen boeten, dat de prinsen iemand slaan zouden om hetgeen recht is. 27 Wie wetenschap weet, houdt zijn woorden in; en een man van verstand is kostelijk van geest. 28 Een dwaas zelfs, die zwijgt, zal wijs geacht worden, en die zijn lippen toesluit, verstandig.

  20 H6141 Wie verdraaid H3820 is van hart H2896 , zal het goede H4672 H8799 niet vinden H2015 H8738 ; en die verkeerd H3956 is met zijn tong H7451 , zal in het kwaad H5307 H8799 vallen.

  22 H8056 Een blij H3820 hart H1456 zal een medicijn H3190 H8686 goed maken H5218 ; maar een verslagen H7307 geest H1634 zal het gebeente H3001 H8762 verdrogen.

Giguet(i) 1 ¶ Mieux vaut un morceau de pain avec la joie de la paix, qu’une maison pleine de biens et d’offrandes iniques avec des querelles. 2 ¶ Le serviteur intelligent gouvernera des maîtres insensés, et il fera les parts entre les frères. 3 ¶ Comme dans une fournaise on éprouve l’argent et l’or, ainsi les âmes sont élues par le Seigneur. 4 ¶ Le méchant obéit à la langue des pervers; le juste ne fait pas attention à des lèvres menteuses. 5 ¶ Railler le mendiant, c’est irriter son Créateur; celui qui se réjouit de la ruine de son prochain ne sera point innocent; celui qui a des entrailles faciles à émouvoir obtiendra miséricorde. 6 ¶ Les fils de ses fils sont la couronne du vieillard; les pères sont la gloire des enfants. Le fidèle a le monde entier pour richesses; l’infidèle n’a pas même une obole. 7 ¶ Des livres fidèles ne vont pas à l’insensé, ni des livres trompeurs au juste. 8 ¶ Les corrections sont, pour ceux qui les mettent à profit, une récompense de la grâce; où elles s’adressent, elles remettent dans le bon chemin. 9 ¶ Celui qui garde le secret sur les mauvaises actions, maintient les amitiés; celui à qui il est odieux de les cacher, sépare les amis et ceux d’une même maison. 10 ¶ Une menace fait naître le repentir dans le cœur du sage; l’insensé ne sent pas même les coups de fouet. 11 ¶ Tout méchant excite des querelles; mais le Seigneur lui enverra un ange inexorable. 12 ¶ L’homme prudent n’est pas exempt de honte; l’injuste ne songe qu’à mal. 13 ¶ Celui qui rend le mal pour le bien n’éloignera pas le mal de sa maison. 14 ¶ L’autorité de la justice donne du pouvoir aux paroles; les séditions et les querelles précèdent la misère. 15 ¶ Celui qui déclare le juste injuste, et l’injuste juste, est impur et abominable aux yeux de Dieu. 16 ¶ À quoi servent ses richesses à l’insensé, puisque l’homme sans cœur ne pourra pas en acheter la sagesse? Celui qui exhausse sa maison cherche sa ruine; celui qui prend une voie mauvaise pour s’instruire tombera dans le malheur. 17 ¶ Aie en tout temps un ami; que tes frères te soient secourables dans tes nécessités: c’est pour cela qu’ils sont nés. 18 ¶ L’imprudent bat des mains et se complaît en lui-même, quand il s’est rendu caution d’une somme pour ses amis. 19 ¶ Si l’on aime le péché, on se réjouit des querelles. 20 ¶ Celui qui a le cœur dur ne trouvera pas de biens. L’homme dont la langue est facilement changeante tombera dans le malheur. 21 ¶ Le cœur de l’insensé est pour lui un sujet de troubles. Le père ne se réjouit pas en un fils ignorant; le fils sage réjouit sa mère. 22 ¶ La joie du cœur donne la santé; les os d’un homme triste se dessèchent. 23 ¶ Les voies de celui qui emporte des présents iniques dans les plis de son manteau ne seront point prospères; l’impie s’écarte des voies de la justice. 24 ¶ Sur la face du sage brille l’intelligence; les yeux de l’insensé sont égarés aux bouts du monde. 25 ¶ Un fils insensé, courroux du père, douleur de la mère. 26 ¶ Il n’est pas bien de nuire à un homme juste; conspirer contre des princes équitables est une iniquité. 27 ¶ Celui qui s’abstient de paroles colères est un sage; l’homme patient est sensé. 28 Si l’insensé cherche la sagesse, il sera réputé sage; et s’il ferme la bouche, il passera pour prudent.
DarbyFR(i) 1
Mieux vaut un morceau sec et la paix, qu'une maison pleine de viandes de sacrifices et des querelles. 2
Un serviteur sage gouvernera le fils qui fait honte, et il aura part à l'héritage au milieu des frères. 3
Le creuset est pour l'argent, et le fourneau pour l'or; mais l'Éternel éprouve les coeurs. 4
Celui qui fait le mal est attentif à la lèvre d'iniquité; le menteur prête l'oreille à la langue pernicieuse. 5
Qui se moque du pauvre outrage celui qui l'a fait; qui se réjouit de la calamité ne sera pas tenu pour innocent. 6
La couronne des vieillards, ce sont les fils des fils, et la gloire des fils ce sont leurs pères. 7
La parole excellente ne convient point à un homme vil; combien moins sied à un prince la lèvre menteuse. 8
Le présent est une pierre précieuse aux yeux de celui qui le possède; de quelque côté qu'il se tourne, il réussit. 9
Qui couvre une transgression cherche l'amour, mais celui qui répète une chose divise les intimes amis. 10
La répréhension fait plus d'impression sur l'homme intelligent que cent coups sur le sot. 11
L'inique ne cherche que rébellion; mais un messager cruel sera envoyé contre lui. 12
Qu'un homme rencontre une ourse privée de ses petits, plutôt qu'un sot dans sa folie! 13
Le mal ne quittera point la maison de celui qui rend le mal pour le bien. 14
Le commencement d'une querelle, c'est comme quand on laisse couler des eaux; avant que la dispute s'échauffe, va-t'en. 15
Celui qui justifie le méchant et celui qui condamne le juste sont tous deux en abomination à l'Éternel. 16
Pourquoi donc le prix dans la main d'un sot pour acheter la sagesse, alors qu'il n'a point de sens? 17
L'ami aime en tout temps, et un frère est né pour la détresse. 18
L'homme dépourvu de sens frappe dans la main, s'engageant comme caution vis-à-vis de son prochain. 19
Qui aime les contestations aime la transgression; qui hausse son portail cherche la ruine. 20
Celui qui est pervers de coeur ne trouve pas le bien; et celui qui use de détours avec sa langue tombe dans le mal. 21
Celui qui engendre un sot l'engendre pour son chagrin; et le père d'un homme vil ne se réjouira pas. 22
Le coeur joyeux fait du bien à la santé, mais un esprit abattu dessèche les os. 23
Le méchant prend de son sein un présent pour faire dévier les sentiers du jugement. 24
La sagesse est en face de l'homme intelligent, mais les yeux du sot sont au bout de la terre. 25
Un fils insensé est un chagrin pour son père et une amertume pour celle qui l'a enfanté. 26
Il n'est pas bon de punir le juste, et de frapper les nobles à cause de leur droiture. 27
Celui qui a de la connaissance retient ses paroles, et un homme qui a de l'intelligence est d'un esprit froid. 28 Même le fou qui se tait est réputé sage, -celui qui ferme ses lèvres, un homme intelligent.
Martin(i) 1 Mieux vaut un morceau de pain sec là où il y a la paix, qu'une maison pleine de viandes apprêtées, là où il y a des querelles. 2 Le serviteur prudent sera maître sur l'enfant qui fait honte, et il partagera l'héritage entre les frères. 3 Le fourneau est pour éprouver l'argent, et le creuset, l'or; mais l'Eternel éprouve les coeurs. 4 Le malin est attentif à la lèvre trompeuse, et le menteur écoute la mauvaise langue. 5 Celui qui se moque du pauvre, déshonore celui qui a fait le pauvre; et celui qui se réjouit de la calamité, ne demeurera point impuni. 6 Les enfants des enfants sont la couronne des vieilles gens, et l'honneur des enfants ce sont leurs pères. 7 La parole grave ne convient point à un fou; combien moins la parole de mensonge aux principaux d'entre le peuple. 8 Le présent est comme une pierre précieuse aux yeux de ceux qui y sont adonnés; de quelque côté qu'il se tourne, il réussit. 9 Celui qui cache le forfait, cherche l'amitié; mais celui qui rapporte la chose, met le plus grand ami en division. 10 La répréhension se fait mieux sentir à l'homme prudent, que cent coups au fou. 11 Le malin ne cherche que rébellion, mais le messager cruel sera envoyé contre lui. 12 Que l'homme rencontre plutôt une ourse qui a perdu ses petits, qu'un fou dans sa folie. 13 Le mal ne partira point de la maison de celui qui rend le mal pour le bien. 14 Le commencement d'une querelle est comme quand on lâche l'eau; mais avant qu'on vienne à la mêlée, retire-toi. 15 Celui qui déclare juste le méchant, et celui qui déclare méchant le juste, sont tous deux en abomination à l'Eternel. 16 Que sert le prix dans la main du fou pour acheter la sagesse, vu qu'il n'a point de sens ? 17 L'intime ami aime en tout temps, et il naîtra comme un frère dans la détresse. 18 Celui-là est dépourvu de sens qui touche à la main, et qui se rend caution envers son ami. 19 Celui qui aime les querelles, aime le forfait; celui qui hausse son portail, cherche sa ruine. 20 Celui qui est pervers de coeur, ne trouvera point le bien; et l'hypocrite tombera dans la calamité. 21 Celui qui engendre un fou, en aura de l'ennui, et le père du fou ne se réjouira point. 22 Le coeur joyeux vaut une médecine; mais l'esprit abattu dessèche les os. 23 Le méchant prend le présent du sein, pour pervertir les voies de jugement. 24 La sagesse est en la présence de l'homme prudent; mais les yeux du fou sont au bout de la terre. 25 L'enfant insensé est l'ennui de son père, et l'amertume de celle qui l'a enfanté. 26 Il n'est pas juste de condamner l'innocent à l'amende, ni que les principaux d'entre le peuple frappent quelqu'un pour avoir agi avec droiture. 27 L'homme retenu dans ses paroles sait ce que c'est que de la science, et l'homme qui est d'un esprit froid, est un homme intelligent. 28 Même le fou, quand il se tait, est réputé sage; et celui qui serre ses lèvres, est réputé entendu.
Segond(i) 1 Mieux vaut un morceau de pain sec, avec la paix, Qu'une maison pleine de viandes, avec des querelles. 2 Un serviteur prudent domine sur le fils qui fait honte, Et il aura part à l'héritage au milieu des frères. 3 Le creuset est pour l'argent, et le fourneau pour l'or; Mais celui qui éprouve les coeurs, c'est l'Eternel. 4 Le méchant est attentif à la lèvre inique, Le menteur prête l'oreille à la langue pernicieuse. 5 Celui qui se moque du pauvre outrage celui qui l'a fait; Celui qui se réjouit d'un malheur ne restera pas impuni. 6 Les enfants des enfants sont la couronne des vieillards, Et les pères sont la gloire de leurs enfants. 7 Les paroles distinguées ne conviennent pas à un insensé; Combien moins à un noble les paroles mensongères! 8 Les présents sont une pierre précieuse aux yeux de qui en reçoit; De quelque côté qu'ils se tournent, ils ont du succès. 9 Celui qui couvre une faute cherche l'amour, Et celui qui la rappelle dans ses discours divise les amis. 10 Une réprimande fait plus d'impression sur l'homme intelligent Que cent coups sur l'insensé. 11 Le méchant ne cherche que révolte, Mais un messager cruel sera envoyé contre lui. 12 Rencontre une ourse privée de ses petits, Plutôt qu'un insensé pendant sa folie. 13 De celui qui rend le mal pour le bien Le mal ne quittera point la maison. 14 Commencer une querelle, c'est ouvrir une digue; Avant que la dispute s'anime, retire-toi. 15 Celui qui absout le coupable et celui qui condamne le juste Sont tous deux en abomination à l'Eternel. 16 A quoi sert l'argent dans la main de l'insensé? A acheter la sagesse?... Mais il n'a point de sens. 17 L'ami aime en tout temps, Et dans le malheur il se montre un frère. 18 L'homme dépourvu de sens prend des engagements, Il cautionne son prochain. 19 Celui qui aime les querelles aime le péché; Celui qui élève sa porte cherche la ruine. 20 Un coeur faux ne trouve pas le bonheur, Et celui dont la langue est perverse tombe dans le malheur. 21 Celui qui donne naissance à un insensé aura du chagrin; Le père d'un fou ne peut pas se réjouir. 22 Un coeur joyeux est un bon remède, Mais un esprit abattu dessèche les os. 23 Le méchant accepte en secret des présents, Pour pervertir les voies de la justice. 24 La sagesse est en face de l'homme intelligent, Mais les yeux de l'insensé sont à l'extrémité de la terre. 25 Un fils insensé fait le chagrin de son père, Et l'amertume de celle qui l'a enfanté. 26 Il n'est pas bon de condamner le juste à une amende, Ni de frapper les nobles à cause de leur droiture. 27 Celui qui retient ses paroles connaît la science, Et celui qui a l'esprit calme est un homme intelligent. 28 L'insensé même, quand il se tait, passe pour sage; Celui qui ferme ses lèvres est un homme intelligent.

  1 H2896 ¶ Mieux H6595 vaut un morceau H2720 de pain sec H7962 , avec la paix H1004 , Qu’une maison H4392 pleine H2077 de viandes H7379 , avec des querelles.
  2 H5650 ¶ Un serviteur H7919 prudent H8688   H4910 domine H8799   H1121 sur le fils H954 qui fait honte H8688   H2505 , Et il aura part H8799   H5159 à l’héritage H8432 au milieu H251 des frères.
  3 H4715 ¶ Le creuset H3701 est pour l’argent H3564 , et le fourneau H2091 pour l’or H974  ; Mais celui qui éprouve H8802   H3826 les cœurs H3068 , c’est l’Eternel.
  4 H7489 ¶ Le méchant H8688   H7181 est attentif H8688   H8193 à la lèvre H205 inique H8267 , Le menteur H238 prête l’oreille H8688   H3956 à la langue H1942 pernicieuse.
  5 H3932 ¶ Celui qui se moque H8802   H7326 du pauvre H8802   H2778 outrage H8765   H6213 celui qui l’a fait H8802   H8056  ; Celui qui se réjouit H343 d’un malheur H5352 ne restera pas impuni H8735  .
  6 H1121 ¶ Les enfants H1121 des enfants H5850 sont la couronne H2205 des vieillards H1 , Et les pères H8597 sont la gloire H1121 de leurs enfants.
  7 H8193 ¶ Les paroles H3499 distinguées H5000 ne conviennent H5036 pas à un insensé H5081  ; Combien moins à un noble H8193 les paroles H8267 mensongères !
  8 H7810 ¶ Les présents H68 sont une pierre H2580 précieuse H5869 aux yeux H1167 de qui en reçoit H6437  ; De quelque côté qu’ils se tournent H8799   H7919 , ils ont du succès H8686  .
  9 H3680 ¶ Celui qui couvre H8764   H6588 une faute H1245 cherche H8764   H160 l’amour H8138 , Et celui qui la rappelle H8802   H1697 dans ses discours H6504 divise H8688   H441 les amis.
  10 H1606 ¶ Une réprimande H5181 fait plus d’impression H8799   H995 sur l’homme intelligent H8688   H3967 Que cent H5221 coups H8687   H3684 sur l’insensé.
  11 H7451 ¶ Le méchant H1245 ne cherche H8762   H4805 que révolte H4397 , Mais un messager H394 cruel H7971 sera envoyé H8792   contre lui.
  12 H6298 ¶ Rencontre H8800   H1677 une ourse H7909 privée H408 de ses petits, Plutôt H3684 qu’un insensé H376   H200 pendant sa folie.
  13 H7725 ¶ De celui qui rend H8688   H7451 le mal H2896 pour le bien H7451 Le mal H4185 ne quittera H8799   H8675   H4185   H8686   H1004 point la maison.
  14 H7225 ¶ Commencer H4066 une querelle H6362 , c’est ouvrir H8802   H4325 une digue H6440  ; Avant H7379 que la dispute H1566 s’anime H8694   H5203 , retire H8800  -toi.
  15 H6663 ¶ Celui qui absout H8688   H7563 le coupable H7561 et celui qui condamne H8688   H6662 le juste H8147 Sont tous deux H8441 en abomination H3068 à l’Eternel.
  16 H4242 ¶ A quoi sert l’argent H3027 dans la main H3684 de l’insensé H7069  ? A acheter H8800   H2451 la sagesse H3820  ? …  Mais il n’a point de sens.
  17 H7453 ¶ L’ami H157 aime H8802   H6256 en tout temps H6869 , Et dans le malheur H3205 il se montre H8735   H251 un frère.
  18 H120 ¶ L’homme H2638 dépourvu H3820 de sens H8628 prend des engagements H8802   H3709   H6148 , Il cautionne H8802   H6161   H6440   H7453 son prochain.
  19 H157 ¶ Celui qui aime H8802   H4683 les querelles H157 aime H8802   H6588 le péché H1361  ; Celui qui élève H8688   H6607 sa porte H1245 cherche H8764   H7667 la ruine.
  20 H3820 ¶ Un cœur H6141 faux H4672 ne trouve H8799   H2896 pas le bonheur H3956 , Et celui dont la langue H2015 est perverse H8738   H5307 tombe H8799   H7451 dans le malheur.
  21 H3205 ¶ Celui qui donne naissance H8802   H3684 à un insensé H8424 aura du chagrin H1  ; Le père H5036 d’un fou H8055 ne peut pas se réjouir H8799  .
  22 H3820 ¶ Un cœur H8056 joyeux H3190 est un bon H8686   H1456 remède H7307 , Mais un esprit H5218 abattu H3001 dessèche H8762   H1634 les os.

SE(i) 1 Mejor es un bocado seco, y en paz, que la casa de contienda llena de víctimas. 2 El siervo prudente se enseñoreará del hijo que deshonra, y entre los hermanos compartirá la herencia. 3 El crisol para la plata, y la hornaza para el oro; mas el SEÑOR prueba los corazones. 4 El malo está atento al labio inicuo; y el mentiroso escucha a la lengua maldiciente. 5 El que escarnece al pobre, afrenta a su Hacedor; y el que se alegra en la calamidad ajena, no quedará sin castigo. 6 Corona de los viejos son los hijos de los hijos; y la honra de los hijos, sus padres. 7 No conviene al loco la altilocuencia; ­cuánto menos al príncipe el labio mentiroso! 8 Piedra preciosa es el cohecho en ojos de sus dueños; a donde quiera que se vuelve, da prosperidad. 9 El que cubre la prevaricación, busca amistad; mas el que reitera la palabra, aparta al príncipe. 10 Aprovecha la reprensión en el entendido, más que cien azotes en el loco. 11 El rebelde no busca sino mal; y mensajero cruel será enviado contra él. 12 Mejor es que se encuentre un hombre con una osa a la cual han robado sus cachorros, que con un loco en su locura. 13 El que da mal por bien, no se apartará el mal de su casa. 14 Soltar las aguas ( hablar precipitadamente) es el principio de la contienda; pues, antes que se revuelva el pleito, déjalo. 15 El que justifica al impío, y el que condena al justo, ambos por igual son abominación al SEÑOR. 16 ¿De qué sirve el precio en la mano del loco para comprar sabiduría, no teniendo entendimiento? 17 En todo tiempo ama el amigo; mas el hermano para la angustia es nacido. 18 El hombre falto de entendimiento toca la mano, fiando a otro delante de su amigo. 19 La prevaricación ama el que ama pleito; y el que alza su portada, quebrantamiento busca. 20 El perverso de corazón nunca hallará bien; y el que revuelve con su lengua, caerá en mal. 21 El que engendra al loco, para su tristeza lo engendra; y el padre del loco no se alegrará. 22 El corazón alegre hará bien como una medicina; mas el espíritu triste seca los huesos. 23 El impío toma dádiva en secreto para pervertir las veredas del derecho. 24 En el rostro del entendido aparece la sabiduría; mas los ojos del loco manifiestan su locura hasta el cabo de la tierra. 25 El hijo loco es enojo a su padre, y amargura a la que lo engendró. 26 Ciertamente no es bueno condenar al justo, ni herir a los príncipes por hacer lo recto. 27 El que detiene sus palabras tiene sabiduría; y de espíritu valioso es el hombre entendido. 28 Aun el loco cuando calla, es contado por sabio; el que cierra sus labios es entendido.
ReinaValera(i) 1 MEJOR es un bocado seco, y en paz, Que la casa de contienda llena de víctimas. 2 El siervo prudente se enseñoreará del hijo que deshonra, Y entre los hermanos partirá la herencia. 3 El crisol para la plata, y la hornaza para el oro: Mas Jehová prueba los corazones. 4 El malo está atento al labio inicuo; Y el mentiroso escucha á la lengua detractora. 5 El que escarnece al pobre, afrenta á su Hacedor: Y el que se alegra en la calamidad, no quedará sin castigo. 6 Corona de los viejos son los hijos de los hijos; Y la honra de los hijos, sus padres. 7 No conviene al necio la altilocuencia: ­Cuánto menos al príncipe el labio mentiroso! 8 Piedra preciosa es el cohecho en ojos de sus dueños: A donde quiera que se vuelve, da prosperidad. 9 El que cubre la prevaricación, busca amistad: Mas el que reitera la palabra, aparta al amigo. 10 Aprovecha la reprensión en el entendido, Más que si cien veces hiriese en el necio. 11 El rebelde no busca sino mal; Y mensajero cruel será contra él enviado. 12 Mejor es se encuentre un hombre con una osa á la cual han robado sus cachorros, Que con un fatuo en su necedad. 13 El que da mal por bien, No se apartará el mal de su casa. 14 El que comienza la pendencia es como quien suelta las aguas: Deja pues la porfía, antes que se enmarañe. 15 El que justifica al impío, y el que condena al justo, Ambos á dos son abominación á Jehová. 16 ¿De qué sirve el precio en la mano del necio para comprar sabiduría, No teniendo entendimiento? 17 En todo tiempo ama el amigo; Y el hermano para la angustia es nacido. 18 El hombre falto de entendimiento toca la mano, Fiando á otro delante de su amigo. 19 La prevaricación ama el que ama pleito; Y el que alza su portada, quebrantamiento busca. 20 El perverso de corazón nunca hallará bien: Y el que revuelve con su lengua, caerá en mal. 21 El que engendra al necio, para su tristeza lo engendra: Y el padre del fatuo no se alegrará. 22 El corazón alegre produce buena disposición: Mas el espíritu triste seca los huesos. 23 El impío toma dádiva del seno Para pervertir las sendas del derecho. 24 En el rostro del entendido aparece la sabiduría: Mas los ojos del necio vagan hasta el cabo de la tierra. 25 El hijo necio es enojo á su padre, Y amargura á la que lo engendró. 26 Ciertamente no es bueno condenar al justo, Ni herir á los príncipes que hacen lo recto. 27 Detiene sus dichos el que tiene sabiduría: De prudente espíritu es el hombre entendido. 28 Aun el necio cuando calla, es contado por sabio: El que cierra sus labios es entendido.

Albanian(i) 1 Éshtë më mirë një copë bukë thatë me paqe se sa një shtëpi plot me kafshë të vrara me grindje. 2 Shërbëtori që vepron me urtësi ka për të sunduar mbi të birin që e turpëron dhe do të marrë një pjesë të trashëgimisë bashkë me vëllezërit. 3 Poçi është për argjendin dhe furra për arin, por ai që provon zemrat është Zoti. 4 Njeriu i keq dëgjon buzët e liga, gënjeshtari dëgjon gjuhën e çoroditur. 5 Ai që përqesh të varfërin fyen Atë që e ka krijuar; ai që kënaqet me fatkeqësinë e tjetrit nuk do të mbetet pa u ndëshkuar. 6 Bijtë e bijve janë kurora e pleqve, dhe lavdia e bijve janë etërit e tyre. 7 Budallait nuk i shkon një e folur e bukur, aq më pak princit nuk i shkojnë buzë gënjeshtare, 8 Një dhuratë është një gur i çmuar në sytë e atij që e ka; ngado që kthehet, ai ia del. 9 Kush mbulon një faj fiton dashuri, por kush i rikthehet përsëri ndan miqtë më të mirë. 10 Një qortim depërton më thellë te njeriu me mend se sa njëqind goditje te budallai. 11 Njeriu i keq nuk kërkon gjë tjetër veç të ngrerë krye, prandaj do të dërgohet kundër tij një lajmëtar mizor. 12 Éshtë më mirë të takosh një harushë se cilës i kanë vjedhur këlyshët e vet se sa një budalla në marrëzinë e tij. 13 E keqja nuk do të largohet nga shtëpia e atij që së mirës i përgjigjet me të keqen. 14 Të fillosh një grindje është sikur t'u çelësh rrugë ujërave; prandaj ndërprite grindjen përpara se të acarohet. 15 Ai që nxjerr të pafajshëm fajtorin dhe ai që dënon të drejtin janë që të dy të neveritshëm për Zotin. 16 Ç'duhet paraja në duart e budallait? Mos vallë për të blerë dituri, kur ai nuk ka mend fare? 17 Miku të do në çdo kohë, por vëllai lind për ditë të vështira. 18 Njeriu që nuk ka mend jep dorën si garanci dhe merr zotime për të afërmin e tij. 19 Ai që do mëkatin i do grindjet, dhe ai që ngre portën e tij kërkon rrënim. 20 Njeriu zemërshthurur nuk gjen asnjë të mirë, dhe ai që ka gjuhën e çoroditur bie në telashe. 21 Atij që i lind një budalla do t'i vijnë hidhërime dhe ati i një budallai nuk mund të ketë gëzim. 22 Një zemër e gëzuar është një ilaç i mirë, por një frymë e dërrmuar i than kockat. 23 I pabesi pranon dhurata fshehurazi për të prishur rrugët e drejtësisë. 24 Dituria qëndron para atij që ka mend, por sytë e budallait enden deri në cepat më të largëta të dheut. 25 Biri budalla është një burim vuajtjesh për atin e tij dhe hidhërim për atë që e ka lindur. 26 Nuk është mirë të dënosh të drejtin, as të godasësh princat për ndershmërinë e tyre. 27 Kush i mat fjalët e veta ka dije, dhe kush ka një shpirt të qetë është njeri i matur. 28 Budallai, edhe kur hesht, konsiderohet i urtë dhe, kur i mban të mbyllura buzët e tij, konsiderohet i zgjuar.
RST(i) 1 Лучше кусок сухого хлеба, и с ним мир, нежели дом, полный заколотого скота, с раздором. 2 Разумный раб господствует над беспутным сыном и между братьями разделит наследство. 3 Плавильня – для серебра, и горнило – для золота, а сердца испытывает Господь. 4 Злодей внимает устам беззаконным, лжец слушается языка пагубного. 5 Кто ругается над нищим, тот хулит Творца его; кто радуется несчастью, тот не останется ненаказанным. 6 Венец стариков – сыновья сыновей, и слава детей – родители их. 7 Неприлична глупому важная речь, тем паче знатному – уста лживые. 8 Подарок – драгоценный камень в глазах владеющего им: куда ни обратится он, успеет. 9 Прикрывающий проступок ищет любви; а кто снова напоминает о нем, тот удаляет друга. 10 На разумного сильнее действует выговор, нежели на глупого сто ударов. 11 Возмутитель ищет только зла; поэтому жестокий ангел будет посланпротив него. 12 Лучше встретить человеку медведицу, лишенную детей, нежели глупца с его глупостью. 13 Кто за добро воздает злом, от дома того не отойдет зло. 14 Начало ссоры – как прорыв воды; оставь ссору прежде, нежели разгорелась она. 15 Оправдывающий нечестивого и обвиняющий праведного – оба мерзость пред Господом. 16 К чему сокровище в руках глупца? Для приобретения мудрости у него нет разума. 17 Друг любит во всякое время и, как брат, явится во время несчастья. 18 Человек малоумный дает руку и ручается заближнего своего. 19 Кто любит ссоры, любит грех, и кто высоко поднимает ворота свои, тот ищет падения. 20 Коварное сердце не найдет добра, и лукавый язык попадет в беду. 21 Родил кто глупого, – себе на горе, и отец глупого не порадуется. 22 Веселое сердце благотворно, как врачевство, а унылый дух сушит кости. 23 Нечестивый берет подарок из пазухи, чтобы извратить пути правосудия. 24 Мудрость – пред лицем у разумного, а глаза глупца – на конце земли. 25 Глупый сын – досада отцу своему и огорчение для матери своей. 26 Нехорошо и обвинять правого, и бить вельмож за правду. 27 Разумный воздержан в словах своих, и благоразумный хладнокровен. 28 И глупец, когда молчит, может показаться мудрым, и затворяющий уста свои – благоразумным.
Arabic(i) 1 لقمة يابسة ومعها سلامة خير من بيت ملآن ذبائح مع خصام. 2 العبد الفطن يتسلط على الابن المخزي ويقاسم الاخوة الميراث. 3 البوطة للفضة والكور للذهب وممتحن القلوب الرب. 4 الفاعل الشر يصغى الى شفة الاثم والكاذب يأذن للسان فساد. 5 المستهزئ بالفقير يعيّر خالقه. الفرحان ببلية لا يتبرأ. 6 تاج الشيوخ بنو البنين وفخر البنين آباؤهم. 7 لا تليق بالاحمق شفة السودد. كم بالاحرى شفة الكذب بالشريف. 8 الهدية حجر كريم في عيني قابلها. حيثما تتوجه تفلح. 9 من يستر معصية يطلب المحبة ومن يكرر أمرا يفرق بين الاصدقاء 10 الانتهار يؤثر في الحكيم اكثر من مئة جلدة في الجاهل. 11 الشرير انما يطلب التمرد فيطلق عليه رسول قاس. 12 ليصادف الانسان دبة ثكول ولا جاهل في حماقته. 13 من يجازي عن خير بشر لن يبرح الشر من بيته. 14 ابتداء الخصام اطلاق الماء. فقبل ان تدفق المخاصمة اتركها. 15 مبرّئ المذنب ومذنّب البريء كلاهما مكرهة الرب. 16 لماذا في يد الجاهل ثمن. ألاقتناء الحكمة وليس له فهم. 17 الصدّيق يحب في كل وقت. اما الاخ فللشدة يولد. 18 الانسان الناقص الفهم يصفق كفا ويضمن صاحبه ضمانا. 19 محب المعصية محب الخصام. المعلي بابه يطلب الكسر. 20 الملتوي القلب لا يجد خيرا والمتقلب اللسان يقع في السوء. 21 من يلد جاهلا فلحزنه. ولا يفرح ابو الاحمق. 22 القلب الفرحان يطيّب الجسم والروح المنسحقة تجفف العظم. 23 الشرير يأخذ الرشوة من الحضن ليعوّج طرق القضاء. 24 الحكمة عند الفهيم وعينا الجاهل في اقصى الارض. 25 الابن الجاهل غم لابيه ومرارة للتي ولدته. 26 ايضا تغريم البريء ليس بحسن وكذلك ضرب الشرفاء لاجل الاستقامة. 27 ذو المعرفة يبقي كلامه وذو الفهم وقور الروح. 28 بل الاحمق اذا سكت يحسب حكيما ومن ضم شفتيه فهيما
Bulgarian(i) 1 По-добре сух залък и спокойствие с него отколкото къща, пълна с пиршества, и кавга. 2 Мъдър слуга ще владее над син, който докарва срам, и ще вземе дял от наследството между братята. 3 Топилнята е за среброто и пещта за златото, но ГОСПОД изпитва сърцата. 4 Злодеят слуша устните на греха и лъжецът дава ухо на езика на погибелта. 5 Който се присмива на сиромаха, безчести Създателя му и който се радва на бедствие, няма да остане ненаказан. 6 Синовете на синовете са венецът на старците и славата на синовете са техните бащи. 7 Превъзходната реч не подхожда на безумен, много по-малко — лъжливи устни на началник. 8 Подаръкът е като безценен камък в очите на притежателя си, накъдето и да се обърне, успява. 9 Който покрива престъпление, се стреми към любов, а който разказва за работата, разделя най-близки приятели. 10 Изобличението прави повече впечатление на благоразумния, отколкото сто бича — на безумния. 11 Злият човек търси само разпри, затова жесток пратеник ще бъде изпратен против него. 12 По-добре да срещне човека мечка лишена от малките си, отколкото безумен в глупостта му. 13 Който възвръща зло за добро, злото няма да се отдалечи от дома му. 14 Започването на кавга е като отприщване на вода, затова остави караницата, преди да се е разпалила. 15 Който оправдава безбожния и който осъжда праведния — и двамата са мерзост за ГОСПОДА. 16 Какво ползват парите в ръката на безумния, за да купи мъдрост, като няма разум? 17 Приятел обича всякога и като брат се явява в беда. 18 Човек без разум стиска ръка и става поръчител на ближния си. 19 Който обича препирня, обича престъпление и който въздига вратата си, търси унищожение. 20 Който има коварно сърце, не намира добро и който има лукав език, пада в зло. 21 Който роди глупак, за скръб му е и бащата на безумния няма радост. 22 Веселото сърце е благотворно лекарство, а унил дух изсушава костите. 23 Безбожният приема подкуп от пазвата, за да изкриви пътищата на правосъдието. 24 Пред лицето на разумния е мъдростта, а очите на безумния са към краищата на земята. 25 Безумен син е тъга за баща си и горчивина за тази, която го е родила. 26 Да се глобява праведният също не е добре, още повече да бъдат бити благородните за правото. 27 Който пести думите си, е умен и хладнокръвният е благоразумен. 28 Дори и безумният, когато мълчи, се счита за мъдър, който затваря устата си — за разумен.
Croatian(i) 1 Bolji je zalogaj suha kruha s mirom nego sa svađom kuća puna žrtvene pečenke. 2 Razuman sluga vlada nad sinom sramotnim i s braćom će dijeliti baštinu. 3 Taljika je za srebro i peć za zlato, a srca iskušava Jahve sam. 4 Zločinac rado sluša usne prijevarne, i lažac spremno prisluškuje pogubnu jeziku. 5 Tko se ruga siromahu, podruguje se Stvoritelju njegovu, i tko se veseli nesreći, ne ostaje bez kazne. 6 Unuci su vijenac starcima, a sinovima ures oci njihovi. 7 Ne dolikuje budali uzvišena besjeda, a još manje odličniku usne lažljive. 8 Dar je čarobni kamen u očima onoga koji ga daje: kamo se god okrene, uspijeva. 9 Tko prikriva prijestup, traži ljubav, a tko glasinu širi, razgoni prijatelje. 10 Razumna se ukor jače doima nego bezumna stotina udaraca. 11 Opak čovjek ide samo za zlom, ali se okrutan glasnik šalje na nj. 12 Bolje je nabasati na medvjedicu kojoj ugrabiše mlade nego na bezumnika u njegovoj ludosti. 13 Tko dobro zlom uzvraća neće ukloniti nesreću od doma svojeg. 14 Zametnuti svađu isto je kao pustiti poplavu: stoga prije nego svađa izbije, udalji se! 15 Tko opravdava krivoga i tko osuđuje pravoga, obojica su mrski Jahvi. 16 Čemu novac u ruci bezumnomu? Da njime mudrost kupi, kad nema razbora! 17 Prijatelj ljubi u svako vrijeme, a u nevolji i bratom postaje. 18 Nerazuman čovjek daje ruku i jamči pred svojim bližnjim. 19 Grijeh ljubi tko ljubi svađu, i tko visoko diže svoja vrata, traži propast. 20 Opak srcem ne nalazi sreće, i komu je jezik zao, zapada u nesreću. 21 Tko rodi bezumna, na tugu mu je; a nije veseo ni otac budale. 22 Veselo je srce izvrstan lijek, a neveseo duh suši kosti. 23 Opaki prima dar iz njedara da bi iskrivio putove pravici. 24 Razuman ima mudrost pred sobom, a bezumniku su oči na kraj zemlje. 25 Briga je ocu bezuman sin i žalost roditeljki svojoj. 26 Ne valja kažnjavati pravednika, a nije pravo ni tući odličnike. 27 Tko usteže svoje riječi, razumije mudrost, i razuman je čovjek mirna duha. 28 I luđak se smatra mudrim kada šuti i razumnim kad susteže svoje usne.
BKR(i) 1 Lepší jest kus chleba suchého s pokojem,nežli dům plný nabitých hovad s svárem. 2 Služebník rozumný panovati bude nad synem, kterýž jest k hanbě, a mezi bratřími děliti bude dědictví. 3 Teglík stříbra a pec zlata zkušuje, ale srdcí Hospodin. 4 Zlý člověk pozoruje řečí nepravých, a lhář poslouchá jazyka převráceného. 5 Kdo se posmívá chudému, útržku činí Učiniteli jeho; a kdo se z bídy raduje, nebude bez pomsty. 6 Koruna starců jsou vnukové, a ozdoba synů otcové jejich. 7 Nesluší na blázna řeči znamenité, ovšem na kníže řeč lživá. 8 Jako kámen drahý, tak bývá vzácný dar před očima toho, kdož jej béře; k čemukoli směřuje, daří se jemu. 9 Kdo přikrývá přestoupení, hledá lásky; ale kdo obnovuje věc, rozlučuje přátely. 10 Více se chápá rozumného jedno domluvení, nežli by blázna stokrát ubil. 11 Zpurný toliko zlého hledá, pročež přísný posel na něj poslán bývá. 12 Lépe člověku potkati se s nedvědicí osiřalou, nežli s bláznem v bláznovství jeho. 13 Kdo odplacuje zlým za dobré, neodejdeť zlé z domu jeho. 14 Začátek svady jest, jako když kdo protrhuje vodu; protož prvé než by se zsilil svár, přestaň. 15 Kdož ospravedlňuje nepravého, i kdož odsuzuje spravedlivého, ohavností jsou Hospodinu oba jednostejně. 16 K čemu jest zboží v ruce blázna, když k nabytí moudrosti rozumu nemá? 17 Všelikého času miluje, kdož jest přítelem, a bratr v ssoužení ukáže se. 18 Člověk bláznivý ruku dávaje, činí slib před přítelem svým. 19 Kdož miluje svadu, miluje hřích; a kdo vyvyšuje ústa svá, hledá potření. 20 Převrácené srdce nenalézá toho, což jest dobrého; a kdož má vrtký jazyk, upadá v těžkost. 21 Kdo zplodil blázna, k zámutku svému zplodil jej, aniž se bude radovati otec nemoudrého. 22 Srdce veselé očerstvuje jako lékařství, ale duch zkormoucený vysušuje kosti. 23 Bezbožný tajně béře dar, aby převrátil stezky soudu. 24 Na oblíčeji rozumného vidí se moudrost, ale oči blázna těkají až na konec země. 25 K žalosti jest otci svému syn blázen, a k hořkosti rodičce své. 26 Jistě že pokutovati spravedlivého není dobré, tolikéž, aby knížata bíti měli pro upřímost. 27 Zdržuje řeči své muž umělý; drahého ducha jest muž rozumný. 28 Také i blázen, mlče, za moudrého jmín bývá, a zacpávaje rty své, za rozumného.
Danish(i) 1 Bedre er en tør Bid og Ro derhos end et Hus fuldt af slagtet Kvæg med Trætte. 2 En klog Tjener skal herske over en Søn, som gør Skam, og han skal dele Arv midt iblandt Brødre. 3 Diglen er til Sølvet og Ovnen til Guldet; men den, som prøver Hjerterne, er HERREN. 4 Den onde agter paa uretfærdige Læber; Løgneren laaner Øre til den Tunge, der arbejder paa Fordærvelse. 5 Hvo som bespotter den fattige, forhaaner hans Skaber; hvo som, glæder sig over Ulykke, skal ikke agtes uskyldig. 6 Børnebørn ere de, gamles Krone, og Børnenes Pryd er deres Fædre. 7 Det staar ikke en Daare vel an at tale høje Ord, meget mindre en Fyrste at tale Løgn. 8 Skænk er en yndig Sten i deres Øjne, som modtage den; hvor som helst den vender sig hen, gør den Lykke. 9 Hvo som skjuler Overtrædelse, søger Kærlighed; men hvo som ripper op i en Sag, fjerner en fortrolig. 10 Skænd trænger dybere ind hos en forstandig end at slaa en Daare hundrede Gange. 11 Den onde søger kun at vise Genstridighed, men et grusomt Bud skal sendes imod ham. 12 Lad en Mand møde en Bjørn som Ungerne fratagne, kun ikke en Daare i hans Taabelighed. 13 Hvo som gengiver godt med ondt fra hans Hus skal det onde ikke vige. 14 Hvo som begynder Trætte, aabner for Vand opgiv derfor Trætten, førend den vælter sig frem. 15 Den som frikender den ugudelige, og den, som kender den retfærdige skyldig, ere begge HERREN en Vederstyggelighed. 16 Hvortil skal dog Penge i Daarens Haand? er det for at købe Visdom, da han dog ikke har Forstand? 17 En Ven elsker altid, men en Broder fødes til Hjælp i Nød. 18 Et Menneske, som fattes Forstand, giver Haandslag og gaar i Borgen hos sin Næste. 19 Hvo der elsker Trætte, elsker Overtrædelse; hvo som søger Undergang, gør sin Dør høj. 20 Den, som er vanartig i Hjertet, skal ikke finde godt; og den, som taler forvendt med sin Tunge, skal falde i Ulykke. 21 Den, som avler en Daare, ham bliver det til Bedrøvelse, og en Daares Fader skal ikke glæde sig. 22 Et glad Hjerte er en god Lægedom; men et nedslaaet Mod udtørrer Benene. 23 Den ugudelige tager Gave i Smug for at bøje Rettens Stier. 24 For den forstandiges Ansigt er Visdommen; men en Daares Øjne ere ved Jordens Ende. 25 En daarlig Søn er sin Fader en Harm og sin Moder en Bedrøvelse. 26 Det er end ikke godt at lægge Bøder paa den retfærdige eller at slaa ædle Mænd tvært imod Ret. 27 Den, som sparer sine Ord, besidder Kundskab, og en koldsindig Mand er forstandig. 28 Ogsaa en Daare, om han tav, kunde regnes for viis; den, som holder sine Læber til, er forstandig.

Esperanto(i) 1 Pli bona estas seka peco da pano, sed kun trankvileco, Ol domo plena de viando, kun malpaco. 2 Sagxa sklavo regos super filo hontinda, Kaj dividos heredon kune kun fratoj. 3 Fandujo estas por argxento, kaj forno por oro; Sed la korojn esploras la Eternulo. 4 Malbonfaranto obeas malbonajn busxojn; Malveremulo atentas malpian langon. 5 Kiu mokas malricxulon, tiu ofendas lian Kreinton; Kiu gxojas pri ies malfelicxo, tiu ne restos sen puno. 6 Nepoj estas krono por maljunuloj; Kaj gloro por infanoj estas iliaj gepatroj. 7 Al malsagxulo ne konvenas alta parolado, Kaj ankoraux malpli al nobelo mensogado. 8 Donaco estas juvelo en la okuloj de sia mastro; Kien ajn li sin turnos, li sukcesos. 9 Kiu kovras kulpon, tiu sercxas amikecon; Sed kiu reparolas pri la afero, tiu disigas amikojn. 10 Pli efikas riprocxo cxe sagxulo, Ol cent batoj cxe malsagxulo. 11 Malbonulo sercxas nur ribelon; Sed terura sendato estos sendita kontraux lin. 12 Pli bone estas renkonti ursinon, al kiu estas rabitaj gxiaj infanoj, Ol malsagxulon kun lia malsagxeco. 13 Kiu redonas malbonon por bono, El ties domo ne malaperos malbono. 14 La komenco de malpaco estas kiel liberigo de akvo; Antaux ol gxi tro vastigxis, forlasu la malpacon. 15 Kiu pravigas malvirtulon, kaj kiu malpravigas virtulon, Ambaux estas abomenajxo por la Eternulo. 16 Por kio servas mono en la mano de malsagxulo? CXu por acxeti sagxon, kiam li prudenton ne havas? 17 En cxiu tempo amiko amas, Kaj li farigxas frato en mizero. 18 Homo malsagxa donas manon en manon, Kaj garantias por sia proksimulo. 19 Kiu amas malpacon, tiu amas pekon; Kiu tro alte levas sian pordon, tiu sercxas pereon. 20 Malica koro ne trovos bonon; Kaj kiu havas negxustan langon, tiu enfalos en malfelicxon. 21 Kiu naskas malsagxulon, tiu havas cxagrenon; Kaj patro de malprudentulo ne havos gxojon. 22 GXoja koro estas saniga; Kaj malgxoja spirito sekigas la ostojn. 23 Kasxitajn donacojn akceptas malvirtulo, Por deklini la vojon de la justeco. 24 Antaux la vizagxo de prudentulo estas sagxo; Sed la okuloj de malsagxulo estas en la fino de la tero. 25 Filo malsagxa estas cxagreno por sia patro, Kaj malgxojo por sia patrino. 26 Ne estas bone suferigi virtulon, Nek bati noblulon, kiu agas juste. 27 Kiu sxparas siajn vortojn, tiu estas prudenta; Kaj trankvilanimulo estas homo sagxa. 28 Ecx malsagxulo, se li silentas, estas rigardata kiel sagxulo; Kaj kiel prudentulo, se li tenas fermita sian busxon.
Finnish(i) 1 Kuiva pala, siinä jossa rauha on, on parempi kuin huone teurasta täynnä riidassa. 2 Toimellinen palvelia hallitsee häpiällisiä lapsia, ja hän jakaa perintöä veljein välillä. 3 Niinkuin tuli koettelee hopian ja ahjo kullan, niin Herra tutkistelee sydämet. 4 Paha ottaa pahoista suista vaarin, ja petollinen kuuntelee mielellänsä vahingollista kieltä. 5 Joka köyhää syljeskelee, se häpäisee Luojaansa; ja joka iloitsee toisen vahingosta, ei pääse rankaisematta. 6 vanhain kruunu ovat lasten lapset, ja lasten kunnia ovat heidän isänsä. 7 Ei sovi tyhmäin puhua korkeista asioista, paljoa vähemmin päämiehen valhetella. 8 Jolla vara on lahja antaa, se on niinkuin kallis kivi: kuhunka hän itsensä kääntää, niin hän viisaana pidetään. 9 Joka syntiä peittää, se saattaa itsellensä ystävyyden; vaan joka asian ilmoittaa, se saattaa ruhtinaat eripuraisiksi. 10 Sanat vaikuttavat enemmän toimellisen tykönä, kuin sata haavaa tyhmän tykönä. 11 Niskuri tosin etsii vahinkoa, vaan julma enkeli lähetetään häntä vastaan. 12 Parempi on kohdata karhua, jolta pojat ovat otetut pois, kuin hullua hulluudessansa. 13 Joka kostaa hyvän pahalla, ei hänen huoneestansa pidä pahuus luopuman. 14 Riidan alku on niinkuin vewsi, joka itsensä leikkaa ulos: lakkaa riidasta ennenkuin sinä siihen sekaannut. 15 Joka jumalattoman hurskaaksi sanoo, ja joka vanhurskaan soimaa jumalattomaksi, ne molemmat ovat Herralle kauhistus. 16 Mitä tyhmä tekee kädessänsä rahalla, ettei hänellä ole sydäntä ostaa viisautta? 17 Ystävä rakastaa ainian, ja veli tulee julki hädässä. 18 Se on tyhmä ihminen, joka kätensä taritsee, ja takaa lähimmäisensä. 19 Joka toraa rakastaa, se rakastaa syntiä; ja joka ovensa korottaa, se etsii onnettomuutta. 20 Häijy sydän ei löydä mitään hyvää; ja jolla paha kieli on, se lankee onnettomuuteen. 21 Joka tyhmän synnyttää, hänellä on murhe, ja tyhmän isällä ei ole iloa. 22 Iloinen sydän tekee elämän suloiseksi, vaan surullinen sydän kaivaa luut. 23 Jumalatoin ottaa mielellänsä salaisesti lahjoja, mutkataksensa lain teitä. 24 Toimellinen mies laittaa itsensä viisaasti, vaan tyhmä heittelee silmiänsä sinne ja tänne. 25 Hullu popika on isänsä suru, ja äidillensä murhe, joka hänen synnyttänyt on. 26 Ei ole se hyvä, että vanhurskalle tehdään väärin, taikka että sitä ruhtinasta lyödään, joka oikein tuomitsee. 27 Toimellinen mies taitaa puheensa tallella pitää, ja taitava mies on kallis sielu. 28 Jos tyhmä vaiti olis, niin hän viisaaksi luettaisiin, ja toimelliseksi, jos hän suunsa pitäis kiinni.
FinnishPR(i) 1 Parempi kuiva kannikka rauhassa kuin talon täysi uhripaistia riidassa. 2 Taitava palvelija hallitsee kunnotonta poikaa ja pääsee perinnönjaolle veljesten rinnalla. 3 Hopealle sulatin, kullalle uuni, mutta sydämet koettelee Herra. 4 Paha kuuntelee häijyjä huulia, petollisuus kuulee pahoja kieliä. 5 Joka köyhää pilkkaa, se herjaa hänen luojaansa; joka toisen onnettomuudesta iloitsee, ei jää rankaisematta. 6 Vanhusten kruunu ovat lastenlapset, ja isät ovat lasten kunnia. 7 Ei sovi houkalle ylevä puhe, saati sitten ruhtinaalle valhe. 8 Lahjus on käyttäjänsä silmissä kallis kivi: mihin vain hän kääntyy, hän menestyy. 9 Joka rikkeen peittää, se rakkautta harrastaa; mutta joka asioita kaivelee, se erottaa ystävykset. 10 Nuhde pystyy paremmin ymmärtäväiseen kuin sata lyöntiä tyhmään. 11 Pelkkää onnettomuutta hankkii kapinoitsija, mutta häntä vastaan lähetetään armoton sanansaattaja. 12 Kohdatkoon miestä karhu, jolta on riistetty poikaset, mutta älköön tyhmä hulluudessansa. 13 Joka hyvän pahalla palkitsee, sen kodista ei onnettomuus väisty. 14 Alottaa tora on päästää vedet valloilleen; herkeä, ennenkuin riita syttyy. 15 Syyllisen syyttömäksi ja syyttömän syylliseksi tekijä ovat kumpikin Herralle kauhistus. 16 Mitä hyötyä on rahasta tyhmän käsissä? Viisauden hankkimiseen ei ole ymmärrystä. 17 Ystävä rakastaa ainiaan ja veli syntyy varaksi hädässä. 18 Mieltä vailla on mies, joka kättä lyöpi, joka menee toista takaamaan. 19 Joka toraa rakastaa, se rikkomusta rakastaa; joka ovensa korottaa, se hankkii kukistumistaan. 20 Väärämielinen ei onnea löydä, ja kavalakielinen suistuu onnettomuuteen. 21 Tyhmä on murheeksi siittäjällensä, ja houkan isä on iloa vailla. 22 Terveydeksi on iloinen sydän, mutta murtunut mieli kuivuttaa luut. 23 Jumalaton ottaa lahjuksen vastaan toisen povelta vääristääksensä oikeuden tiet. 24 Ymmärtäväisellä on viisaus kasvojensa edessä, mutta tyhmän silmät kiertävät maailman rantaa. 25 Tyhmä poika on isällensä suruksi ja synnyttäjällensä mielihaikeaksi. 26 Paha jo sekin, jos syytöntä sakotetaan; kovin kohtuutonta, jos jaloja lyödään. 27 Joka hillitsee sanansa, on taitava, ja mielensä malttava on ymmärtäväinen mies. 28 Hullukin käy viisaasta, jos vaiti on; joka huulensa sulkee, on ymmärtäväinen.
Haitian(i) 1 Pito ou manje yon grenn bannann chèch ak kè poze pase pou ou fè gwo fèt nan mitan dezagreman. 2 Yon esklav ki gen konprann va chèf sou yon pitit ki fè papa l' wont. L'a jwenn pa l' nan eritaj papa a tankou tout pitit. 3 Se dife sèl ki ka fè ou konnen si lò osinon ajan ou genyen an se bon kalite. Konsa tou, se Seyè a sèl ki konnen sa ki nan kè moun. 4 Mechan yo toujou prèt pou koute moun k'ap di move pawòl. Zòrèy mantò yo toujou louvri pou koute moun k'ap bay manti. 5 Lè w'ap pase yon pòv malere nan betiz, se Bondye ki fè l' la w'ap derespekte. Moun ki kontan lè malè rive yon lòt, Bondye ap pini l'. 6 Pitit pitit se rekonpans granmoun. Manman ak papa se kontantman pitit. 7 Yon moun sòt pa ka di anyen ki bon. Konsa tou, yon moun serye pa nan bay manti. 8 Moun ki sèvi ak lajan pou pran tèt moun konprann lajan se wanga. Yo kwè se pou yo reyisi nan tou sa y'ap fè. 9 Si ou vle moun renmen ou, padonnen lè yo fè ou mal. Si w'ap mache repete bagay moun fè ki mal, w'ap mete zanmi dozado. 10 Lè ou fè yon moun ki gen konprann repwòch, sa touche kè l'. Men, ata san kout baton p'ap chanje yon moun sòt. 11 Mechan toujou ap fè rebelyon, men y'a voye yon sanmanman regle avè l'. 12 Pito ou kontre ak yon manman lous k'ap chache pitit li pase pou ou tonbe sou yon moun fou foli moute. 13 Si ou aji mal avèk moun ki fè ou byen, malè ap toujou rive lakay ou. 14 Lè yon kont pete, se tankou dlo ki kase dig kannal. Anvan batay mete pye, chape kò ou. 15 Se de kalite moun Seyè a pa ka sipòte: moun k'ap kondannen inonsan ak moun k'ap pran pou mechan yo. 16 Yon moun sòt te mèt gen kont lajan nan men l', li p'ap janm ka gen konesans. Li pa gen konprann. 17 Yon bon zanmi p'ap janm trayi. Jou malè l'ap tankou yon frè pou ou. 18 Fòk yon moun pèdi tèt li nèt pou l' garanti dèt yon lòt moun. 19 Moun ki renmen chache kont renmen fè sa ki mal. Moun k'ap pale avèk awogans, se moun k'ap mache ak sèkèy yo anba bra yo. 20 Yon moun ki pa gen bon lide nan tèt li p'ap janm gen kè kontan. Moun ki gen move lang ap toujou nan traka. 21 Se lapenn pou yon papa ki fè yon pitit ki san konprann. Papa yon pitit sòt p'ap janm gen kè kontan. 22 Kè kontan bay lasante. Men, lè ou kagou, w'ap deperi sou pye. 23 Malveyan pran lajan nan men moun pou enpoze jistis fèt. 24 Yon moun ki gen bon konprann toujou ap chache konesans. Men, moun sòt pa konn sa li vle. 25 Yon timoun ki san konprann, se chagren pou papa l', se gwo lapenn pou manman l' ki fè l'. 26 Se pa jistis pou inonsan peye pou koupab. Pa gen jistis lè yo bat moun ki pa fè mal. 27 Moun ki gen konesans pa nan pale anpil. Moun ki rete dousman se moun ki gen konprann. 28 Moun ki gen lespri pa janm cho pou pale. Men moun sòt, lè yo rete ak bouch yo fèmen, yo pase pou moun ki gen konprann.
Hungarian(i) 1 Jobb a száraz falat, melylyel van csendesség; mint a levágott barmokkal teljes ház, melyben háborúság van. 2 Az értelmes szolga uralkodik a gyalázatos fiún, és az atyafiak között az örökségnek részét veszi. 3 Az olvasztótégely az ezüst számára van, és a kemencze az aranyéra; a szívek vizsgálója pedig az Úr. 4 A gonosztevõ hallgat az álnok beszédekre, a csalárd hallgat a gonosz nyelvre. 5 A ki megcsúfolja a szegényt, gyalázattal illeti annak Teremtõjét; a ki gyönyörködik [másnak] nyomorúságában, büntetlen nem lészen! 6 A véneknek ékessége az unokák, és a fiaknak ékessége az atyák. 7 Nem illik a bolondnak az ékes beszéd; még kevésbbé a tisztességesnek a hazug beszéd. 8 Drága kõ az ajándék elfogadójának szemei elõtt; mindenütt, a hova csak fordul, okosan cselekszik. 9 Elfedezi a vétket, a ki keresi a szeretetet; a ki pedig ismétlen elõhoz egy dolgot, elszakasztja egymástól a barátságosokat is. 10 Foganatosb a dorgálás az eszesnél, mint ha megvernéd a bolondot százszor is. 11 Csak ellenkezést keres a gonosz, végre kegyetlen követ bocsáttatik ellene. 12 Találjon valakire a fiától megfosztott medve, csak ne a bolond az õ bolondságában. 13 A ki fizet gonoszt a jóért, nem távozik el a gonosz annak házától. 14 [Mint] a ki árvizet szabadít el, [olyan] a háborúság kezdete; azért minekelõtte kihatna, hagyd el a versengést. 15 A ki igaznak mondja a bûnöst, és kárhoztatja az igazat, útálatos az Úrnak egyaránt mind a kettõ. 16 Miért van a vétel ára a bolondnak kezében a bölcseség megszerzésére, holott nincsen néki elméje? 17 Minden idõben szeret, a ki [igaz] barát, és testvérül születik a nyomorúság idejére. 18 Értelmetlen ember az, a ki kezét adja, fogadván kezességet barátja elõtt. 19 Szereti a gonoszt, a ki szereti a háborúságot; a ki magasbítja kapuját, romlást keres. 20 Az elfordult szívû ember nem nyerhet jót, és a ki az õ nyelvével gonosz, esik nyomorúságba. 21 A ki szül bolondot, [szüli] õ magának bánatra; és nem örvendez a bolondnak atyja. 22 A vidám elme jó orvosságul szolgál; a szomorú lélek pedig megszáraztja a csontokat. 23 A kebelbõl [kivett] ajándékot az istentelen elveszi, a törvény útának elfordítására. 24 Az eszesnek orczájából kitetszik a bölcseség; a bolondnak pedig szemei [országolnak] a földnek végéig. 25 Búsulása az õ atyjának a bolond fiú, és az õ szülõjének keserûsége. 26 Még megbirságolni is az igazat nem jó, a tisztességest megverni igazságáért. 27 A ki megtartóztatja beszédét, az tudós ember, és a ki higgadt lelkû, az értelmes férfiú. 28 Még a bolond is, amikor hallgat, bölcsnek ítéltetik; mikor ajkait bezárja, eszesnek.
Indonesian(i) 1 Lebih baik sesuap nasi disertai ketentraman, daripada makanan lezat berlimpah-limpah disertai pertengkaran. 2 Hamba yang cerdas akan berkuasa atas anak yang membuat malu; dan akan menerima warisan bersama saudara-saudara anak itu. 3 Emas dan perak diuji di perapian, tetapi hati orang diuji oleh TUHAN. 4 Orang jahat menuruti saran-saran yang jahat, pendusta suka mendengarkan kata-kata fitnahan. 5 Siapa mengejek orang miskin papa, menghina Allah penciptanya. Siapa gembira atas kemalangan orang, pasti mendapat hukuman. 6 Kebanggaan orang yang sudah tua adalah anak cucunya; kebanggaan anak-anak adalah orang tuanya. 7 Orang terhormat tidak patut mengucapkan kata-kata dusta; orang bodoh tidak pantas mengucapkan kata-kata berharga. 8 Ada yang menyangka uang sogok dapat membuat keajaiban; dengan uang sogok segalanya dapat terlaksana. 9 Kalau ingin disukai orang, maafkanlah kesalahan yang mereka lakukan. Membangkit-bangkit kesalahan hanya memutuskan persahabatan. 10 Satu teguran lebih berarti bagi orang berbudi daripada seratus cambukan pada orang yang bodoh. 11 Orang jahat selalu menimbulkan keonaran, tapi maut datang kepadanya sebagai utusan yang kejam. 12 Lebih baik berjumpa dengan induk beruang yang kehilangan anaknya, daripada dengan orang bodoh yang sibuk dengan kebodohannya. 13 Siapa membalas kebaikan dengan kejahatan, kejahatan pun tak akan dapat dikeluarkan dari rumahnya. 14 Memulai pertengkaran adalah seperti membuka jalan air; karena itu undurlah sebelum pertengkaran mulai. 15 TUHAN membenci orang yang membenarkan orang durhaka, dan yang menyalahkan orang yang tak bersalah. 16 Percuma orang bodoh menghabiskan uang mencari hikmat, sebab ia tidak mempunyai pikiran yang sehat. 17 Seorang sahabat selalu setia kepada kawan, tapi seorang saudara ikut menanggung kesusahan. 18 Orang yang berjanji untuk menjadi penanggung hutang sesamanya adalah orang yang bodoh. 19 Orang yang suka pada dosa, suka bertengkar. Orang yang bermulut besar, mencari kehancuran. 20 Seorang penipu tidak akan bahagia, orang dengan lidah bercabang akan mendapat celaka. 21 Mendapat anak yang dungu berarti mendapat kesedihan; menjadi ayah anak yang bodoh tidak memberi kegembiraan. 22 Hati yang gembira menyehatkan badan; hati yang murung mematahkan semangat. 23 Hakim yang curang, menerima uang sogok secara rahasia dan tidak menjalankan keadilan. 24 Tujuan orang yang berpengertian ialah untuk mendapat hikmat, tetapi tujuan orang bodoh tidak menentu. 25 Anak yang bodoh menyusahkan ayahnya, dan menyedihkan hati ibunya. 26 Tidak patut mengenakan denda pada orang yang tak bersalah; tidak patut menindas orang yang berbudi luhur. 27 Orang yang tajam pikirannya, tidak banyak bicara. Orang yang bijaksana, selalu tenang. 28 Seorang bodoh pun akan disangka cerdas dan bijaksana kalau ia berdiam diri dan menutup mulutnya.
Italian(i) 1 Migliore è un boccon di pane secco, con quiete, Che una casa piena di animali ammazzati, con rissa. 2 Il servitore intendente signoreggerà sopra il figliuolo che reca vituperio, E spartirà l’eredità tra i fratelli. 3 La coppella è per l’argento, e il fornello per l’oro; Ma il Signore prova i cuori. 4 L’uomo maligno presta gli orecchi alle labbra inique; E l’ingannatore ascolta la lingua maliziosa. 5 Chi beffa il povero fa onta a colui che l’ha fatto; Chi si rallegra della calamità altrui non resterà impunito. 6 I figliuoli de’ figliuoli son la corona de’ vecchi; E i padri son la gloria de’ figliuoli. 7 Il parlar magnifico non è decevole all’uomo da nulla; Quanto meno al principe il labbro falso! 8 Il presente è, appo chi è dato a ricever presenti, una gioia graziosa; Dovunque si volge produce effetto. 9 Chi copre il fallo procaccia amicizia; Ma chi lo ridice disunisce gli amici. 10 La riprensione scende più addentro nell’uomo intendente, Che cento percosse date allo stolto. 11 Il malvagio non cerca altro che ribellione; Ma l’angelo crudele sarà mandato contro a lui. 12 Scontrisi pure in un uomo un’orsa, a cui sieno stati tolti i suoi figli, Anzi che un pazzo nella sua pazzia. 13 Il male non si dipartirà giammai dalla casa Di chi rende il mal per lo bene. 14 Chi comincia la contesa è come chi dà apritura alle acque; Però avanti che si venga alle contumelie, lascia la questione. 15 Chi assolve il reo, e chi condanna il giusto, Sono amendue ugualmente abbominevoli al Signore. 16 A che serve il prezzo in mano allo stolto, Da comperar sapienza, poichè egli non ha alcun senno? 17 L’amico ama in ogni tempo, E il fratello nasce per l’afflizione. 18 L’uomo scemo di senno tocca la mano, E fa sicurtà al suo prossimo. 19 Chi ama contesa ama misfatto; Chi alza la sua porta cerca ruina. 20 L’uomo perverso di cuore non troverà il bene; E l’uomo stravolto nel suo parlare caderà nel male. 21 Chi genera un pazzo lo genera a suo cordoglio; E il padre dello stolto non si rallegrerà. 22 Il cuore allegro giova, come una medicina; Ma lo spirito afflitto secca le ossa. 23 L’empio prende il presente dal seno, Per pervertir le vie del giudicio. 24 La sapienza è nel cospetto dell’intendente; Ma gli occhi dello stolto riguardano alle estremità della terra. 25 Il figliuolo stolto è sdegno a suo padre, Ed amaritudine a colei che l’ha partorito. 26 Egli non è bene di condannare il giusto, non pure ad ammenda, Nè che i principi battano alcuno per dirittura. 27 Chi rattiene i suoi detti è dotato di conoscimento; E chi è di spirito riservato è uomo intendente. 28 Lo stolto stesso è reputato savio, quando si tace; E prudente, quando tiene le labbra chiuse.
ItalianRiveduta(i) 1 E’ meglio un tozzo di pan secco con la pace, che una casa piena di carni con la discordia. 2 Il servo sagace dominerà sul figlio che fa onta, e avrà parte all’eredità insieme coi fratelli. 3 La coppella è per l’argento e il fornello per l’oro, ma chi prova i cuori è l’Eterno. 4 Il malvagio dà ascolto alle labbra inique, e il bugiardo dà retta alla cattiva lingua. 5 Chi beffa il povero oltraggia Colui che l’ha fatto; chi si rallegra dell’altrui sventura non rimarrà impunito. 6 I figliuoli de’ figliuoli son la corona de’ vecchi, e i padri son la gloria dei loro figliuoli. 7 Un parlar solenne non s’addice all’uomo da nulla; quanto meno s’addicono ad un principe labbra bugiarde! 8 Il regalo è una pietra preziosa agli occhi di chi lo possiede; dovunque si volga, egli riesce. 9 Chi copre i falli si procura amore, ma chi sempre vi torna su, disunisce gli amici migliori. 10 Un rimprovero fa più impressione all’uomo intelligente, che cento percosse allo stolto. 11 Il malvagio non cerca che ribellione, ma un messaggero crudele gli sarà mandato contro. 12 Meglio imbattersi in un’orsa derubata dei suoi piccini, che in un insensato nella sua follia. 13 Il male non si dipartirà dalla casa di chi rende il male per il bene. 14 Cominciare una contesa è dar la stura all’acqua; perciò ritirati prima che la lite s’inasprisca. 15 Chi assolve il reo e chi condanna il giusto sono ambedue in abominio all’Eterno. 16 A che serve il danaro in mano allo stolto? ad acquistar saviezza?… Ma se non ha senno! 17 L’amico ama in ogni tempo; è nato per essere un fratello nella distretta. 18 L’uomo privo di senno dà la mano e fa sicurtà per altri davanti al suo prossimo. 19 Chi ama le liti ama il peccato; chi alza troppo la sua porta, cerca la rovina. 20 Chi ha il cuor falso non trova bene, e chi ha la lingua perversa cade nella sciagura. 21 Chi genera uno stolto ne avrà cordoglio, e il padre dell’uomo da nulla non avrà gioia. 22 Un cuore allegro è un buon rimedio, ma uno spirito abbattuto secca l’ossa. 23 L’empio accetta regali di sottomano per pervertire le vie della giustizia. 24 La sapienza sta dinanzi a chi ha intelligenza, ma gli occhi dello stolto vagano agli estremi confini della terra. 25 Il figliuolo stolto è il cordoglio del padre e l’amarezza di colei che l’ha partorito. 26 Non è bene condannare il giusto, foss’anche ad un’ammenda, né colpire i principi per la loro probità. 27 Chi modera le sue parole possiede la scienza, e chi ha lo spirito calmo è un uomo prudente. 28 Anche lo stolto, quando tace, passa per savio; chi tien chiuse le labbra è uomo intelligente.

Lithuanian(i) 1 Geriau sausas kąsnis su ramybe negu namai, pilni aukų mėsos, su vaidais. 2 Išmintingas tarnas valdys gėdą darantį sūnų ir gaus paveldėti dalį kaip vienas iš sūnų. 3 Kaip sidabras ir auksas ištiriamas ugnyje, taip Viešpats tiria žmogaus širdį. 4 Nedorėlis klauso klastingų lūpų, o melagis­pikto liežuvio. 5 Kas pajuokia vargšą, paniekina jo Kūrėją, o kas džiaugiasi nelaimės metu, neišvengs bausmės. 6 Vaikų vaikai yra senelių vainikas, o vaikų garbė­jų tėvai. 7 Kvailiui netinka kalbėti apie didžius dalykus, tuo labiau kunigaikščiui netinka meluoti. 8 Dovana lyg brangakmenis davėjo akyse; kur jis eina su ja, visur laimi. 9 Kas pridengia nusikaltimą, ieško meilės; kas kaltę nuolat primena, suardo draugystę. 10 Įspėjimas daugiau padeda išmintingam negu šimtas kirčių kvailam. 11 Blogas žmogus ieško priekabių, todėl žiaurus pasiuntinys bus pasiųstas prieš jį. 12 Geriau sutikti mešką, kuriai atimti jos vaikai, negu kvailį jo kvailystėje. 13 Kas už gera atlygina piktu, pikta neatsitrauks nuo jo namų. 14 Kivirčo pradžia kaip užtvankos plyšys, todėl liaukis ginčytis, kol nevėlu. 15 Kas išteisina nedorėlį ir kas pasmerkia teisųjį, abu yra pasibjaurėjimas Viešpačiui. 16 Kam kvailiui mokėti pinigus už išmintį, kai jis jos visai netrokšta? 17 Draugas visuomet myli ir brolis pasirodo nelaimėje. 18 Kam trūksta proto, tas sukerta rankas ir laiduoja už savo draugą. 19 Kas mėgsta ginčus, myli nuodėmę, kas stato aukštus vartus, ieško pražūties. 20 Kas turi klastingą širdį, nieko gero nepasieks; kieno liežuvis iškreiptas, turės bėdų. 21 Kvailas sūnus­ne džiaugsmas, bet rūpestis tėvui. 22 Linksma širdis gydo kaip vaistai; prislėgta dvasia džiovina kaulus. 23 Nedorėlis ima kyšius, kad iškreiptų teisingumą. 24 Supratingas žmogus siekia išminties, kvailio akys žemės pakraščiuose. 25 Kvailas sūnus­apmaudas tėvui ir skausmas motinai. 26 Bausti teisųjį yra negerai, kaip ir mušti kunigaikščius už teisingumą. 27 Kas turi supratimą, susilaiko kalboje, protingas žmogus turi romią dvasią. 28 Net kvailys, jei jis tyli, laikomas išmintingu, ir kas sučiaupia lūpas, laikomas protingu.
PBG(i) 1 Lepszy jest kęs suchego chleba a w pokoju, niżeli pełen dom nabitego bydła ze swarem. 2 Sługa roztropny będzie panował nad synem, który jest ku hańbie; a między braćmi będzie dzielił dziedzictwo. 3 Tygiel srebra a piec złota doświadcza; ale Pan serc dośwadcza. 4 Zły pilnuje warg złośliwych, a kłamca słucha języka przewrotnego. 5 Kto się naśmiewa z ubogiego, uwłacza stworzycielowi jego; a kto się raduje z upadku czyjego, nie ujdzie pomsty. 6 Korona starców są synowie synów ich, a ozdoba synów są ojcowie ich. 7 Nie przystoi mowa poważna głupiemu, dopieroż księciu usta kłamliwe. 8 Jako kamień drogi, tak bywa dar wdzięczny temu, który go bierze; do czegokolwiek zmierzy, zdarzy mu się. 9 Kto pokrywa przestępstwo, szuka łaski; ale kto wznawia rzeczy, rozłącza przyjaciół. 10 Więcej waży gromienie u roztropnego, niżeli sto plag u głupiego. 11 Uporny tylko złego szuka, dla tego poseł okrutny będzie nań zesłany. 12 Lepiej jest człowiekowi spotkać się z niedźwiedzicą osierociałą, niżeli z głupim w głupstwie jego. 13 Kto oddaje złem za dobre, nie wynijdzie złe z domu jego. 14 Kto zaczyna zwadę, jest jako ten, co przekopuje wodę; przetoż niż się zwada rozsili, zaniechaj go. 15 Kto usprawiedliwia niezbożnego, a winnym czyni sprawiedliwego, oba jednako są obrzydliwością Panu. 16 Cóż po dostatku w ręku głupiego, ponieważ do nabycia mądrości rozumu nie ma? 17 Wszelkiego czasu miłuje przyjaciel, a w ucisku stawia się jako brat. 18 Człowiek głupi daje rękę, czyniąc rękojemstwo przed twarzą przyjaciela swego. 19 Kto miłuje zwadę, miłuje grzech; a kto wynosi usta swe, szuka upadku. 20 Przewrotny w sercu nie znajduje dobrego; a kto jest przewrotnego języka, wpadnie we złe. 21 Kto spłodził głupiego, na smutek swój spłodził go, ani się rozweseli ojciec niemądrego. 22 Serce wesołe oczerstwia jako lekarstwo; ale duch sfrasowany wysusza kości. 23 Niezbożny potajemnie dar bierze, aby podwrócił ścieszki sądu. 24 Na twarzy roztropnego znać mądrość; ale oczy głupiego aż na kraju ziemi. 25 Syn głupi żałością jest ojcu swemu, a gorzkością rodzicielce swojej. 26 Zaiste nie dobra, winować sprawiedliwego, albo żeby przełożeni kogo dla cnoty bić mieli. 27 Kto zawściąga mowy swe, jest umiejętnym; drogiego ducha jest mąż rozumny. 28 Gdy głupi milczy, za mądrego poczytany bywa; a który zatula wargi swoje, za rozumnego.
Portuguese(i) 1 Melhor é um bocado seco, e com ele a tranquilidade, do que a casa cheia de festins, com rixas. 2 O servo prudente dominará sobre o filho que procede indignamente; e entre os irmãos receberá da herança. 3 O crisol é para a prata, e o forno para o ouro; mas o Senhor é que prova os corações. 4 O malfazejo atenta para o lábio iníquo; o mentiroso inclina os ouvidos para a língua maligna. 5 O que escarnece do pobre insulta ao seu Criador; o que se alegra da calamidade não ficará impune. 6 Coroa dos velhos são os filhos dos filhos; e a glória dos filhos são seus pais. 7 Não convém ao tolo a fala excelente; quanto menos ao príncipe o lábio mentiroso! 8 Pedra preciosa é a peita aos olhos de quem a oferece; para onde quer que ele se volte, serve-lhe de proveito. 9 O que perdoa a transgressão busca a amizade; mas o que renova a questão, afastam amigos íntimos. 10 Mais profundamente entra a repreensão no prudente, do que cem açoites no insensato. 11 O rebelde não busca senão o mal; portanto um mensageiro cruel será enviado contra ele. 12 Encontre-se o homem com a ursa roubada dos filhotes, mas não com o insensato na sua estultícia. 13 Quanto àquele que torna mal por bem, não se apartará o mal da sua casa. 14 O princípio da contenda é como o soltar de águas represadas; deixa por isso a porfia, antes que haja rixas. 15 O que justifica o ímpio, e o que condena o justo, são abomináveis ao Senhor, tanto um como o outro. 16 De que serve o preço na mão do tolo para comprar a sabedoria, visto que ele não tem entendimento? 17 O amigo ama em todo o tempo; e para a angústia nasce o irmão. 18 O homem falto de entendimento compromete-se, tornando-se fiador na presença do seu vizinho. 19 O que ama a contenda ama a transgressão; o que faz alta a sua porta busca a ruína. 20 O perverso de coração nunca achará o bem; e o que tem a língua dobre virá a cair no mal. 21 O que gera um tolo, para sua tristeza o faz; e o pai do insensato não se alegrará. 22 O coração alegre serve de bom remédio; mas o espírito abatido seca os ossos. 23 O ímpio recebe do regaço a peita, para perverter as veredas da justiça. 24 O alvo do inteligente é a sabedoria; mas os olhos do insensato estão nas extremidades da terra. 25 O filho insensato é tristeza para seu, pai, e amargura para quem o deu à luz. 26 Não é bom punir ao justo, nem ferir aos nobres por causa da sua retidão. 27 Refreia as suas palavras aquele que possui o conhecimento; e o homem de entendimento é de espírito sereno. 28 Até o tolo, estando calado, é tido por sábio; e o que cerra os seus lábios, por entendido.
Romanian(i) 1 Mai bine o bucată de pîne uscată, cu pace, decît o casă plină de cărnuri, cu ceartă! - 2 Un argat cu minte stăpîneşte peste fiul care face ruşine, şi va împărţi moştenirea cu fraţii lui. 3 Tigaia lămureşte argintul, şi cuptorul lămureşte aurul; dar Cel ce încearcă inimile, este Domnul. - 4 Cel rău ascultă cu luare aminte la buza nelegiuită, şi mincinosul pleacă urechea la limba nimicitoare. - 5 Cine îşi bate joc de sărac, îşi bate joc de Cel ce l -a făcut; cine se bucură de o nenorocire, nu va rămînea nepedepsit. - 6 Copiii copiilor sînt cununa bătrînilor, şi părinţii sînt slava copiilor lor. - 7 Cuvintele alese nu se potrivesc în gura unui nebun; cu cît mai puţin cuvintele mincinoase în gura unui om de viţă aleasă! - 8 Darurile par o piatră scumpă în ochii celor ce le primesc: ori încotro se întorc, izbîndesc. - 9 Cine acopere o greşală, caută dragostea, dar cine o pomeneşte mereu în vorbirile lui, desbină pe prieteni. - 10 O mustrare pătrunde mai mult pe omul priceput, decît o sută de lovituri pe cel nebun. - 11 Cel rău nu caută decît răscoală, dar un sol fără milă va fi trimes împotriva lui. - 12 Mai bine să întîlneşti o ursoaică jefuită de puii ei, decît un nebun în timpul nebuniei lui. - 13 Celui ce întoarce rău pentru bine, nu -i va părăsi răul casa. - 14 Începutul unei certe este ca slobozirea unor ape; deaceea, curmă cearta înainte de a se înteţi. - 15 Cel ce iartă pe vinovat şi osîndeşte pe cel nevinovat, sînt amîndoi o scîrbă înaintea Domnului. - 16 La ce slujeşte argintul în mîna nebunului? Să cumpere înţelepciunea?... Dar n'are minte. - 17 Prietenul adevărat iubeşte oricînd, şi în nenorocire ajunge ca un frate. - 18 Omul fără minte dă chezăşie, se pune chezaş pentru aproapele său. - 19 Cine iubeşte certurile iubeşte păcatul, şi cine-şi zideşte poarta prea înaltă, îşi caută pieirea. - 20 Cel cu inimă prefăcută nu găseşte fericirea, şi cel cu limba stricată cade în nenorocire. - 21 Cine dă naştere unui nebun va avea întristare, şi tatăl unui nebun nu poate să se bucure. - 22 O inimă veselă este un bun leac, dar un duh mîhnit usucă oasele. - 23 Cel rău primeşte daruri pe ascuns, ca să sucească şi căile dreptăţii. - 24 Înţelepciunea este în faţa omului priceput, dar ochii nebunului o caută la capătul pămîntului. - 25 Un fiu nebun aduce necaz tatălui său, şi amărăciune celei ce l -a născut. - 26 Nu este bine să osîndeşti pe cel neprihănit la o gloabă, nici să loveşti pe cei de neam ales din pricina neprihănirii lor. - 27 Cine îşi înfrînează vorbele, cunoaşte ştiinţa, şi cine are duhul potolit este un om priceput. - 28 Chiar şi un prost ar trece de înţelept dacă ar tăcea, şi de priceput dacă şi-ar ţinea gura.
Ukrainian(i) 1 Ліпший черствий кусок зо спокоєм, ніж дім, повний учти м'ясної зо сваркою. 2 Раб розумний панує над сином безпутнім, і серед братів він поділить спадок. 3 Для срібла топильна посудина, а горно для золота, Господь же серця випробовує. 4 Лиходій слухається уст безбожних, слухає неправдомов язика лиходійного. 5 Хто сміється з убогого, той ображає свого Творця, хто радіє з нещастя, не буде такий без вини. 6 Корона для старших онуки, а пишнота дітей їхні батьки. 7 Не пристойна безумному мова поважна, а тим більше шляхетному мова брехлива. 8 Хабар в очах його власника самоцвіт: до всього, до чого повернеться, буде щастити йому. 9 Хто шукає любови провину ховає, хто ж про неї повторює, розгонює друзів. 10 На розумного більше впливає одне остереження, як на глупака сто ударів. 11 Злий шукає лише неслухняности, та вісник жорстокий на нього пошлеться. 12 Ліпше спіткати обездітнену ведмедицю, що кидається на людину, аніж нерозумного в глупоті його. 13 Хто відплачує злом за добро, не відступить лихе з його дому. 14 Почин сварки то прорив води, тому перед вибухом сварки покинь ти її! 15 Хто оправдує несправедливого, і хто засуджує праведного, обидва вони Господеві огидні. 16 Нащо ті гроші в руці нерозумного, щоб мудрість купити, як мозку нема? 17 Правдивий друг любить за всякого часу, в недолі ж він робиться братом. 18 Людина, позбавлена розуму, ручиться, поруку дає за друга свого. 19 Хто сварку кохає, той любить гріх; хто ж підвищує уста свої, той шукає нещастя. 20 Людина лукавого серця не знайде добра, хто ж лукавить своїм язиком, упаде в зло. 21 Хто родить безумного, родить на смуток собі, і не потішиться батько безглуздого. 22 Серце радісне добре лікує, а пригноблений дух сушить кості. 23 Безбожний таємно бере хабара, щоб зігнути путі правосуддя. 24 З обличчям розумного мудрість, а очі глупця аж на кінці землі. 25 Нерозумний син смуток для батька, для своєї ж родительки гіркість. 26 Не добре карати справедливого, бити шляхетних за щирість! 27 Хто слова свої стримує, той знає пізнання, і холоднокровний розумна людина. 28 І глупак, як мовчить, уважається мудрим, а як уста свої закриває розумним.
