ζυγοὶ δόλιοι βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου,

στάθμιον δὲ δίκαιον δεκτὸν αὐτῷ.

οὗ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃ ὕβρις, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀτιμία·

στόμα δὲ ταπεινῶν μελετᾷ σοφίαν.

ἀποθανὼν δίκαιος ἔλιπεν μετάμελον,

πρόχειρος δὲ γίνεται καὶ ἐπίχαρτος ἀσεβῶν ἀπώλεια.

δικαιοσύνη ἀμώμους ὀρθοτομεῖ ὁδούς,

ἀσέβεια δὲ περιπίπτει ἀδικίᾳ.

¹²

δικαιοσύνη ἀνδρῶν ὀρθῶν ῥύεται αὐτούς,

τῇ δὲ ἀπωλείᾳ αὐτῶν ἁλίσκονται παράνομοι.

τελευτήσαντος ἀνδρὸς δικαίου οὐκ ὄλλυται ἐλπίς,

τὸ δὲ καύχημα τῶν ἀσεβῶν ὄλλυται.

δίκαιος ἐκ θήρας ἐκδύνει,

ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ δὲ παραδίδοται ὁ ἀσεβής.

ἐν στόματι ἀσεβῶν παγὶς πολίταις,

αἴσθησις δὲ δικαίων εὔοδος.

ἐν ἀγαθοῖς δικαίων κατώρθωσεν πόλις,

στόμασιν δὲ ἀσεβῶν κατεσκάφη.

μυκτηρίζει πολίτας ἐνδεὴς φρενῶν,

ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος ἡσυχίαν ἄγει.

ἀνὴρ δίγλωσσος ἀποκαλύπτει βουλὰς ἐν συνεδρίῳ,

πιστὸς δὲ πνοῇ κρύπτει πράγματα.

οἷς μὴ ὑπάρχει κυβέρνησις, πίπτουσιν ὥσπερ φύλλα,

σωτηρία δὲ ὑπάρχει ἐν πολλῇ βουλῇ.

πονηρὸς κακοποιεῖ ὅταν συνμίξῃ δικαίῳ,

μισεῖ δὲ ἦχον ἀσφαλείας.

γυνὴ εὐχάριστος ἐγείρει ἀνδρὶ δόξαν,

θρόνος δὲ ἀτιμίας γυνὴ μισοῦσα δίκαια.

πλούτου ὀκνηροὶ ἐνδεεῖς γίνονται,

οἱ δὲ ἀνδρεῖοι ἐρείδονται πλούτῳ.

τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὸν ποιεῖ ἀνὴρ ἐλεήμων,

ἐξολλύει δὲ αὐτοῦ σῶμα ὁ ἀνελεήμων.

ἀσεβὴς ποιεῖ ἔργα ἄδικα,

σπέρμα δὲ δικαίων μισθὸς ἀληθείας.

υἱὸς δίκαιος γεννᾶται εἰς ζωήν,

διωγμὸς δὲ ἀσεβοῦς εἰς θάνατον.

βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ διεστραμμέναι ὁδοί,

προσδεκτοὶ δὲ αὐτῷ πάντες ἄμωμοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν.

⁴⁶

χειρὶ χεῖρας ἐμβαλὼν ἀδίκως οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται,

ὁ δὲ σπείρων δικαιοσύνην λήμψεται μισθὸν πιστόν.

ὥσπερ ἐνώτιον ἐν ῥινὶ ὑός,

οὕτως γυναικὶ κακόφρονι κάλλος.

ἐπιθυμία δικαίων πᾶσα ἀγαθή,

ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.

εἰσὶν οἳ τὰ ἴδια σπείροντες πλείονα ποιοῦσιν·

εἰσὶν καὶ οἳ συνάγοντες ἐλαττονοῦνται.

ψυχὴ εὐλογουμένη πᾶσα ἁπλῆ,

ἀνὴρ δὲ θυμώδης οὐκ εὐσχήμων.

ὁ συνέχων σῖτον, ὑπολίποιτο αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν·

εὐλογία δὲ εἰς κεφαλὴν τοῦ μεταδιδόντος.

τεκταινόμενος ἀγαθὰ ζητεῖ χάριν ἀγαθήν,

ἐκζητοῦντα δὲ κακὰ καταλήμψεται αὐτόν.

ὁ πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ πλούτῳ, οὗτος πεσεῖται,

ὁ δὲ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος δικαίων, οὗτος ἀνατελεῖ.

ὁ μὴ συνπεριφερόμενος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ οἴκῳ κληρονομήσει ἄνεμον,

δουλεύσει δὲ ἄφρων φρονίμῳ.

ἐκ καρποῦ δικαιοσύνης φύεται δένδρον ζωῆς,

ἀφαιροῦνται δὲ ἄωροι ψυχαὶ παρανόμαων.

εἰ ὁ μὲν δίκαιος μόλις σώζεται, ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποῦ

φανεῖται;

Translations (1)

Proverbs Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 11 focus

A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, But accurate weights are his delight.

When pride comes, then comes shame, But with humility comes wisdom.

The integrity of the upright shall guide them, But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.

Riches don't profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.

The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, But the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.

When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, And expectation of power comes to nothing.

A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked takes his place.

With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, But the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.

By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, But a man of understanding holds his peace.

One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, But one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.

Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, But in the multitude of counselors there is victory.

He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, But he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.

A gracious woman obtains honor, But violent men obtain riches.

The merciful man does good to his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.

Wicked people earn deceitful wages, But one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.

Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, But those whose ways are blameless are his delight.

Most assuredly, the evil man will not be unpunished, But the seed of the righteous will be delivered.

Like a gold ring in a pig's snout, Is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.

The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.

There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

People curse someone who withholds grain, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, But he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.

He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.

Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the earth; How much more the wicked and the sinner!
