ὁ ἀγαπῶν παιδείαν ἀγαπᾷ αἴσθησιν,

ὁ δὲ μισῶν ἐλέγχους ἄφρων.

κρείσσων ὁ εὑρὼν χάριν παρὰ Κυρίῳ,

ἀνὴρ δὲ παράνομος παρασιωπηθήσεται.

οὐ κατορθώσει ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἀνόμου,

αἱ δὲ ῥίζαι τῶν δικαίων οὐκ ἐξαρθήσονται.

γυνὴ ἀνδρεία στέφανος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς·

ὥσπερ δὲ ἐν ξύλῳ σκώληξ, οὕτως ἄνδρα ἀπόλλυσιν γυνὴ

κακοποιός.

λογισμοὶ δικαίων κρίματα,

κυβερνῶσιν δὲ ἀσεβεῖς δόλους.

¹²

λόγοι ἀσεβῶν δόλιοι,

στόμα δὲ ὀρθῶν ῥύσεται αὐτούς.

οὗ ἐὰν στραφῇ, ἀσεβὴς ἀφανίζεται,

οἶκοι δὲ δικαίων παραμένουσιν.

στόμα συνετοῦ ἐγκωμιάζεται ὑπὸ ἀνδρός,

νωθροκάρδιος δὲ μυκτηρίζεται.

κρείσσων ἀνὴρ ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ δουλεύων ἑαυτῷ,

ἢ τιμὴν ἑαυτῷ περιτιθεὶς καὶ προσδεόμενος ἄρτου.

δίκαιος οἰκτείρει ψυχὰς κτηνῶν αὐτοῦ.

τὰ δὲ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἀσεβῶν ἀνελεήμονα.

ὁ ἐργαζόμενος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν ἐμπλησθήσεται ἄρτων.

οἱ δὲ διώκοντες μάταια ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν.

a ὅς ἐστιν ἡδὺς ἐν οἴνων διατριβαῖς,

ἐν τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ ὀχυρώμασιν καταλείψει ἀτιμίαν.

ἐπιθυμίαι ἀσεβῶν κακαί,

αἱ δὲ ῥίζαι τῶν εὐσεβῶν ἐν ὀχυρώμασιν.

δι᾿ ἁμαρτίαν χειλέων ἐμπίπτει εἰς παγίδας ἁμαρτωλός,

ἐκφεύγει δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν δίκαιος.

a ὁ βλέπων λεῖα ἐλεηθήσεται,

ὁ δὲ συναντῶν ἐν πύλαις ἐκθλίψει ψυχάς.

ἀπὸ καρπῶν στόματος ψυχὴ ἀνδρὸς πλησθήσεται ἀγαθῶν,

ἀνταπόδομα δὲ χειλέων αὐτοῦ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ.

ὁδοὶ ἀφρόνων ὀρθαὶ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν,

εἰσακούει δὲ συμβουλίας σοφός.

ἄφρων αὐθημερὸν ἐξαγγέλλει ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ,

κρύπτει δὲ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀτιμίαν πανοῦργος.

ἐπιδεικνυμένην πίστιν ἀπαγγέλλει δίκαιος,

ὁ δὲ μάρτυς τῶν ἀδίκων δόλιος.

εἰσὶν οἳ λέγοντες τιτρώσκουσιν μάχαιραι,

γλῶσσαι δὲ σοφῶν ἰῶνται.

χείλη ἀληθινὰ κατορθοῖ μαρτυρίαν,

μάρτυς δὲ ταχὺς γλῶσσαν ἔχει ἄδικον.

⁴⁶

δόλος ἐν καρδίᾳ τεκταινομένου κακά,

οἱ δὲ βουλόμενοι εἰρήνην εὐφρανθήσονται.

οὐκ ἀρέσει τῷ δικαίῳ οὐδὲν ἄδικον,

οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς πλησθήσονται κακῶν.

βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ χείλη ψευδῆ,

ὁ δὲ ποιῶν πίστεις δεκτὸς παρʼ αὐτῷ.

ἀνὴρ συνετὸς θρόνος αἰσθήσεως,

καρδία δὲ ἀφρόνων συναντήσεται ἀραῖς.

χεὶρ ἐκλεκτῶν κρατήσει εὐχερῶς,

δόλιοι δὲ ἔσονται ἐν προνομῇ.

φοβερὸς λόγος καρδίαν ταράσσει ἀνδρὸς δικαίου,

ἀγγελία δὲ ἀγαθὴ εὐφραίνει αὐτόν.

ἐπιγνώμων δίκαιος ἑαυτοῦ φίλος ἔσται,

ἁμαρτάνοντας δὲ καταδιώξεται κακά,

ἡ δὲ ὁδὸς τῶν ἀσεβῶν πλανήσει αὐτούς.

οὐκ ἐπιτεύξεται δόλιος θήρας,

κτῆμα δὲ τίμιον ἀνὴρ καθαρός.

ἐν ὁδοῖς δικαιοσύνης ζωή,

ὁδοὶ δὲ μνησικάκων εἰς θάνατον.

Translations (1)

Proverbs Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 12 focus

Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid.

A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh, But he will condemn a man of wicked devices.

A man shall not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, But a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.

The thoughts of the righteous are just, But the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, But the speech of the upright rescues them.

The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, But the house of the righteous shall stand.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, But he who has a warped mind shall be despised.

Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, Than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.

A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, But he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, But the root of the righteous flourishes.

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man's hands shall be rewarded to him.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who is wise listens to counsel.

A fool shows his annoyance the same day, But one who overlooks an insult is prudent.

He who is truthful testifies honestly, But a false witness lies.

There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, But the tongue of the wise heals.

Truth's lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only momentary.

Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, But joy comes to the promoters of peace.

No mischief shall happen to the righteous, But the wicked shall be filled with evil.

Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, But those who do the truth are his delight.

A prudent man keeps his knowledge, But the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.

The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, But laziness ends in slave labor.

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, But a kind word makes it glad.

A righteous person is cautious in friendship, But the way of the wicked leads them astray.

The slothful man doesn't roast his game, But the possessions of diligent men are prized.

In the way of righteousness is life; In its path there is no death.
