|
Wise women build houses: but a foolish one digs hers down with her hands.
|
ΣΟΦΑΙ γυναῖκες ᾠκοδόμησαν οἴκους, ἡ δὲ ἄφρων κατέσκαψε ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς.

|
|
He that walks uprightly fears the Lord; but he that is perverse in his ways shall be dishonoured.
|
ὁ πορευόμενος ὀρθῶς φοβεῖται τὸν Κύριον, ὁ δὲ σκολιάζων ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ ἀτιμασθήσεται.

|
Out of the mouth of fools comes a rod of pride; but the lips of the wise preserve them.
|
ἐκ στόματος ἀφρόνων βακτηρία ὕβρεως, χείλη δὲ σοφῶν φυλάσσει αὐτούς.

|
Where no oxen are, the cribs are clean; but where there is abundant produce, the strength of the ox is apparent.
|
οὗ μή εἰσι βόες, φάτναι καθαραί· οὗ δὲ πολλὰ γεννήματα, φανερὰ βοὸς ἰσχύς.
|

|
A faithful witness does not lie; but an unjust witness kindles falsehoods.
|
μάρτυς πιστὸς οὐ ψεύδεται, ἐκκαίει δὲ ψευδῆ μάρτυς ἄδικος.
|
|

|
|
Thou shalt seek wisdom with bad men, and shalt not find it; but discretion is easily available with the prudent.
|
ζητήσεις σοφίαν παρὰ κακοῖς καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσεις, αἴσθησις δὲ παρὰ φρονίμοις εὐχερής.
|
|

|
7
|
|
All things are adverse to a foolish man; but wise lips are the weapons of discretion.
|
πάντα ἐναντία ἀνδρὶ ἄφρονι, ὅπλα δὲ αἰσθήσεως χείλη σοφά.
|
|

|
|
The wisdom of the prudent will understand their ways; but the folly of fools leads astray.
|
σοφία πανούργων ἐπιγνώσεται τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν, ἄνοια δὲ ἀφρόνων ἐν πλάνῃ.
|
|

|
|
The houses of transgressors will need purification; but the houses of the just are acceptable.
|
οἰκίαι παρανόμων ὀφειλήσουσι καθαρισμόν, οἰκίαι δὲ δικαίων δεκταί.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
If a man's mind is intelligent, his soul is sorrowful; and when he rejoices, he has no fellowship with pride.
|
καρδία ἀνδρὸς αἰσθητική, λυπηρὰ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ· ὅταν δὲ εὐφραίνηται, οὐκ ἐπιμίγνυται ὕβρει.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
The houses of ungodly men shall be utterly destroyed; but the tabernacles of them that walk uprightly shall stand.
|
οἰκίαι ἀσεβῶν ἀφανισθήσονται, σκηναὶ δὲ κατορθούντων στήσονται.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
There is a way which seems to be right with men, but the ends of it reach to the depth of hell.
|
ἔστιν ὁδός, ἣ δοκεῖ παρὰ ἀνθρώποις ὀρθὴ εἶναι, τὰ δὲ τελευταῖα αὐτῆς ἔρχεται εἰς πυθμένα ᾄδου.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
Grief mingles not with mirth; and joy in the end comes to grief.
|
ἐν εὐφροσύναις οὐ προσμίγνυται λύπη, τελευταῖα δὲ χαρὰ εἰς πένθος ἔρχεται.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
A stout-hearted man shall be filled with his own ways; and a good man with his own thoughts.
|
τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδῶν πλησθήσεται θρασυκάρδιος, ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν διανοημάτων αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ ἀγαθός.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
The simple believes every word: but the prudent man betakes himself to after-thought.
|
ἄκακος πιστεύει παντὶ λόγῳ, πανοῦργος δὲ ἔρχεται εἰς μετάνοιαν.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
A wise man fears, and departs from evil; but the fool trusts in himself, and joins himself with the transgressor.
|
σοφὸς φοβηθεὶς ἐξέκλινεν ἀπὸ κακοῦ, ὁ δὲ ἄφρων ἑαυτῷ πεποιθὼς μίγνυται ἀνόμῳ.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
A passionate man acts inconsiderately; but a sensible man bears up under many things.
|
ὀξύθυμος πράσσει μετὰ ἀβουλίας, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος πολλὰ ὑποφέρει.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
Fools shall have mischief for their portion; but the prudent shall take fast hold of understanding.
|
μεριοῦνται ἄφρονες κακίαν, οἱ δὲ πανοῦργοι κρατήσουσιν αἰσθήσεως.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
Evil men shall fall before the good; and the ungodly shall attend at the gates of the righteous.
|
ὀλισθήσουσι κακοὶ ἔναντι ἀγαθῶν, καὶ ἀσεβεῖς θεραπεύσουσι θύρας δικαίων.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
Friends will hate poor friends; but the friends of the rich are many.
|
φίλοι μισήσουσι φίλους πτωχούς, φίλοι δὲ πλουσίων πολλοί.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
He that dishonours the needy sins: but he that has pity on the poor is most blessed.
|
ὁ ἀτιμάζων πένητας ἁμαρτάνει, ἐλεῶν δὲ πτωχοὺς μακαριστός.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
They that go astray devise evils: but the good devise mercy and truth. The framers of evil do not understand mercy and truth: but compassion and faithfulness are with the framers of good.
|
πλανώμενοι τεκταίνουσι κακά, ἔλεον δὲ καὶ ἀλήθειαν τεκταίνουσιν ἀγαθοί. οὐκ ἐπίστανται ἔλεον καὶ πίστιν τέκτονες κακῶν, ἐλεημοσύναι δὲ καὶ πίστεις παρὰ τέκτοσιν ἀγαθοῖς.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
With every one who is careful there is abundance: but the pleasure-taking and indolent shall be in want.
|
ἐν παντὶ μεριμνῶντι ἔνεστι περισσόν, ὁ δὲ ἡδὺς καὶ ἀνάλγητος ἐν ἐνδείᾳ ἔσται.
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
A prudent man is the crown of the wise: but the occupation of fools is evil.
|
στέφανος σοφῶν πλοῦτος αὐτῶν, ἡ δὲ διατριβὴ ἀφρόνων κακή.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
A faithful witness shall deliver a soul from evil: but a deceitful man kindles falsehoods.
|
ρύσεται ἐκ κακῶν ψυχὴν μάρτυς πιστός, ἐκκαίει δὲ ψεύδη δόλιος.
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and he leaves his children a support.
|
ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐλπὶς ἰσχύος, τοῖς δὲ τέκνοις αὐτοῦ καταλείπει ἔρεισμα.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
The commandment of the Lord is a fountain of life; and it causes men to turn aside from the snare of death.
|
πρόσταγμα Κυρίου πηγὴ ζωῆς, ποιεῖ δὲ ἐκκλίνειν ἐκ παγίδος θανάτου.
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
In a populous nation is the glory of a king: but in the failure of people is the ruin of a prince.
|
ἐν πολλῷ ἔθνει δόξα βασιλέως, ἐν δὲ ἐκλείψει λαοῦ συντριβὴ δυνάστου.
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
A man slow to wrath abounds in wisdom: but a man of impatient spirit is very foolish.
|
μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ πολὺς ἐν φρονήσει, ὁ δὲ ὀλιγόψυχος ἰσχυρῶς ἄφρων.
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
A meek-spirited man is a healer of the heart: but a sensitive heart is a corruption of the bones.
|
πραΰθυμος ἀνὴρ καρδίας ἰατρός, σὴς δὲ ὀστέων καρδία αἰσθητική.
|
|
31
|
31
|
|
He that oppresses the needy provokes his Maker: but he that honours him has pity upon the poor.
|
ὁ συκοφαντῶν πένητα παροξύνει τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτόν, ὁ δὲ τιμῶν αὐτὸν ἐλεεῖ πτωχόν.
|
|
32
|
32
|
|
The ungodly shall be driven away in his wickedness: but he who is secure in his own holiness is just.
|
ἐν κακίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀπωσθήσεται ἀσεβής, ὁ δὲ πεποιθὼς τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ὁσιότητι δίκαιος.
|
|
33
|
33
|
|
There is wisdom in the good heart of a man: but in the heart of fools it is not discerned.
|
ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀγαθῇ ἀνδρὸς ἀναπαύσεται σοφίᾳ, ἐν δὲ καρδίᾳ ἀφρόνων οὐ διαγινώσκεται.
|
|
34
|
34
|
|
Righteousness exalts a nation: but sins diminish tribes.
|
δικαιοσύνη ὑψοῖ ἔθνος, ἐλασσονοῦσι δὲ φυλὰς ἁμαρτίαι.
|
|
35
|
35
|
|
An understanding servant is acceptable to a king; and by his good behaviour he removes disgrace.
|
δεκτὸς βασιλεῖ ὑπηρέτης νοήμων, τῇ δὲ ἑαυτοῦ εὐστροφίᾳ ἀφαιρεῖται ἀτιμίαν.
