False balances are an abomination before the Lord: but a just weight is acceptable unto him.
|
ΖΥΓΟΙ δόλιοι βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, στάθμιον δὲ δίκαιον δεκτὸν αὐτῷ.

Wherever pride enters, there will be also disgrace: but the mouth of the lowly meditates wisdom.
|
οὗ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃ ὕβρις, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀτιμία· στόμα δὲ ταπεινῶν μελετᾷ σοφίαν
|

|
When a just man dies he leaves regret: but the destruction of the ungodly is speedy, and causes joy.
|
ἀποθανὼν δίκαιος ἔλιπε μετάμελον, πρόχειρος δὲ γίνεται καὶ ἐπίχαρτος ἀσεβῶν ἀπώλεια.
|

|
Righteousness traces out blameless paths: but ungodliness encounters unjust dealing.
|
δικαιοσύνη ἀμώμους ὀρθοτομεῖ ὁδούς, ἀσέβεια δὲ περιπίπτει ἀδικίᾳ.
|
|

|
|
The righteousness of upright men delivers them: but transgressors are caught in their own destruction.
|
δικαιοσύνη ἀνδρῶν ὀρθῶν ρύεται αὐτούς, τῇ δὲ ἀπωλείᾳ αὐτῶν ἁλίσκονται παράνομοι.
|

|
|
At the death of a just man his hope does not perish: but the boast of the ungodly perishes.
|
τελευτήσαντος ἀνδρὸς δικαίου οὐκ ὄλλυται ἐλπίς, τὸ δὲ καύχημα τῶν ἀσεβῶν ὄλλυται.
|
|

|
|
A righteous man escapes from a snare, and the ungodly man is delivered up in his place.
|
δίκαιος ἐκ θήρας ἐκδύνει, ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ δὲ παραδίδοται ὁ ἀσεβής.
|

|
In the mouth of ungodly men is a snare to citizens: but the understanding of righteous men is prosperous.
|
ἐν στόματι ἀσεβῶν παγὶς πολίταις, αἴσθησις δὲ δικαίων εὔοδος.
|
|
10
|

|
|
In the prosperity of righteous men a city prospers:
|
ἐν ἀγαθοῖς δικαίων κατώρθωσε πόλις,
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
but by the mouths of ungodly men it is overthrown.
|
στόμασι δὲ ἀσεβῶν κατεσκάφη.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
A man void of understanding sneers at his fellow citizens: but a sensible man is quiet.
|
μυκτηρίζει πολίτας ἐνδεὴς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος ἡσυχίαν ἄγει.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
A double-tongued man discloses the secret counsels of an assembly: but he that is faithful in spirit conceals matters.
|
ἀνὴρ δίγλωσσος ἀποκαλύπτει βουλὰς ἐν συνεδρίῳ, πιστὸς δὲ πνοῇ κρύπτει πράγματα.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
They that have no guidance fall like leaves: but in much counsel there is safety.
|
οἷς μὴ ὑπάρχει κυβέρνησις, πίπτουσιν ὥπερ φύλλα, σωτηρία δὲ ὑπάρχει ἐν πολλῇ βουλῇ.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
A bad man does harm wherever he meets a just man: and he hates the sound of safety.
|
πονηρὸς κακοποιεῖ ὅταν συμμίξῃ δικαίῳ, μισεῖ δὲ ἦχον ἀσφαλείας.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
A gracious wife brings glory to her husband: but a woman hating righteousness is a theme of dishonour. The slothful come to want: but the diligent support themselves with wealth.
|
γυνὴ εὐχάριστος ἐγείρει ἀνδρὶ δόξαν, θρόνος δὲ ἀτιμίας γυνὴ μισοῦσα δίκαια. πλούτου ὀκνηροὶ ἐνδεεῖς γίνονται, οἱ δὲ ἀνδρεῖοι ἐρείδονται πλούτῳ.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
A merciful man does good to his own soul: but the merciless destroys his own body.
|
τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὸν ποιεῖ ἀνὴρ ἐλεήμων, ἐξολλύει δὲ αὐτοῦ σῶμα ὁ ἀνελεήμων.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
An ungodly man performs unrighteous works: but the seed of the righteous is a reward of truth.
|
ἀσεβεῖς ποιεῖ ἔργα ἄδικα, σπέρμα δὲ δικαίων μισθὸς ἀληθείας.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
A righteous son is born for life: but the persecution of the ungodly ends in death.
|
υἱὸς δίκαιος γεννᾶται εἰς ζωήν, διωγμὸς δὲ ἀσεβοῦς εἰς θάνατον.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: but all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him.
|
βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ διεστραμμέναι ὁδοί, προσδεκτοὶ δὲ αὐτῷ πάντες ἄμωμοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: but he that sows righteousness shall receive a faithful reward.
|
χειρὶ χεῖρας ἐμβαλὼν ἀδίκως οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται, ὁ δὲ σπείρων δικαιοσύνην λήψεται μισθὸν πιστόν.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
As an ornament in a swine's snout, so is beauty to an ill-minded woman.
|
ὥσπερ ἐνώτιον ἐν ρινὶ ὑός, οὕτως γυναικὶ κακόφρονι κάλλος.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
All the desire of the righteous is good: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
|
ἐπιθυμία δικαίων πᾶσα ἀγαθή, ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
There are some who scatter their own, and make it more: and there are some also who gather, yet have less.
|
εἰσὶν οἳ τὰ ἴδια σπείροντες πλείονα ποιοῦσιν, εἰσὶ δὲ καὶ οἳ συνάγοντες ἐλαττονοῦνται.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
Every sincere soul is blessed: but a passionate man is not graceful.
|
ψυχὴ εὐλογουμένη πᾶσα ἁπλῆ, ἀνὴρ δὲ θυμώδης οὐκ εὐσχήμων.
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: but blessing be on the head of him that gives it.
|
ὁ συνέχων σῖτον ὑπολείποιτο αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, εὐλογίαν δὲ εἰς κεφαλὴν τοῦ μεταδιδόντος.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
He that devises good counsels seeks good favour: but as for him that seeks after evil, evil shall overtake him.
|
τεκταινόμενος ἀγαθὰ ζητεῖ χάριν ἀγαθήν, ἐκζητοῦντα δὲ κακά, καταλήψεται αὐτόν.
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
He that trusts in wealth shall fall; but he that helps righteous men shall rise.
|
ὁ πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ πλούτῳ οὗτος πεσεῖται, ὁ δὲ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος δικαίων οὗτος ἀνατελεῖ.
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise man.
|
ὁ μὴ συμπεριφερόμενος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ οἴκῳ κληρονομήσει ἄνεμον, δουλεύσει δὲ ἄφρων φρονίμῳ.
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; but the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time.
|
ἐκ καρποῦ δικαιοσύνης φύεται δένδρον ζωῆς, ἀφαιροῦνται δὲ ἄωροι ψυχαὶ παρανόμων.
|
|
31
|
31
|
|
If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
|
εἰ ὁ μὲν δίκαιος μόλις σώζεται, ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποὺ φανεῖται;
