| Anger slays even wise men; yet a submissive answer turns away wrath: but a grievous word stirs up anger. | ΟΡΓΗ ἀπόλλυσι καὶ φρονίμους, ἀπόκρισις δὲ ὑποπίπτουσα ἀποστρέφει θυμόν, λόγος δὲ λυπηρὸς ἐγείρει ὀργάς. |

|
| The tongue of the wise knows what is good: but the mouth of the foolish tells out evil things. | γλῶσσα σοφῶν καλὰ ἐπίσταται, στόμα δὲ ἀφρόνων ἀναγγέλλει κακά. |
|

|
| The eyes of the Lord behold both the evil and the good in every place. | ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου, σκοπεύουσι κακούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς. |

|
| The wholesome tongue is a tree of life, and he that keeps it shall be filled with understanding. | ἴασις γλώσσης δένδρον ζωῆς, ὁ δὲ συντηρῶν αὐτὴν πλησθήσεται πνεύματος, |

|
| A fool scorns his father's instruction: but he that keeps his commandments is more prudent. In abounding righteousness is great strength: but the ungodly shall utterly perish from the earth. | ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει παιδείαν πατρός, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐντολὰς πανουργότερος. |
|

|
| In the houses of the righteous is much strength: but the fruits of the ungodly shall perish. | ). 27α ἐλεημοσύναις καὶ πίστεσιν ἀποκαθαίρονται ἁμαρτίαι, τῷ δὲ φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐκκλίνει πᾶς ἀπὸ κακοῦ. |
|

|
| The lips of the wise are bound by discretion: but the hearts of the foolish are not safe. | ). 28α δεκταὶ παρὰ Κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀνθρώπων δικαίων, διὰ δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ φίλοι γίνονται. |
|

|
| The sacrifices of the ungodly are an abomination to the Lord; but the prayers of them that walk honestly are acceptable with him. | ). 29α κρείσσων ὀλίγη λῆψις μετὰ δικαιοσύνης ἢ πολλὰ γεννήματα μετὰ ἀδικίας. 29β καρδία ἀνδρὸς λογιζέσθω δίκαια, ἵνα ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ διορθωθῇ τὰ διαβήματα αὐτοῦ. |

|
| The ways of an ungodly man are an abomination to the Lord; but he loves those that follow after righteousness. | βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀσεβοῦς, διώκοντας δὲ δικαιοσύνην ἀγαπᾷ. |
|

|

|
| The instruction of the simple is known by them that pass by; but they that hate reproofs die disgracefully. | παιδεία ἀκάκου γνωρίζεται ὑπὸ τῶν παριόντων, οἱ δὲ μισοῦντες ἐλέγχους τελευτῶσιν αἰσχρῶς. |
|
11
|
11
|
| Hell and destruction are manifest to the Lord; how shall not also be the hearts of men? | ᾅδης καὶ ἀπώλεια φανερὰ παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ· πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ αἱ καρδίαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων; |
|
12
|
12
|
| An uninstructed person will not love those that reprove him; neither will he associate with the wise. | οὐκ ἀγαπήσει ἀπαίδευτος τοὺς ἐλέγχοντας αὐτόν, μετὰ δὲ σοφῶν οὐχ ὁμιλήσει. |
|
13
|
13
|
| When the heart rejoices the countenance is cheerful; but when it is in sorrow, the countenance is sad. | καρδίας εὐφραινομένης πρόσωπον θάλλει, ἐν δὲ λύπαις οὔσης σκυθρωπάζει. |
|
14
|
14
|
| An upright heart seeks discretion; but the mouth of the uninstructed will experience evils. | καρδία ὀρθὴ ζητεῖ αἴσθησιν, στόμα δὲ ἀπαιδεύτων γνώσεται κακά. |
|
15
|
15
|
| The eyes of the wicked are always looking for evil things; but the good are always quiet. | πάντα τὸν χρόνον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ τῶν κακῶν προσδέχονται κακά, οἱ δὲ ἀγαθοὶ ἡσυχάζουσι διαπαντός. |
|
16
|
16
|
| Better is a small portion with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without the fear of the Lord. | κρεῖσσον μικρὰ μερὶς μετὰ φόβου Κυρίου ἢ θησαυροὶ μεγάλοι μετὰ ἀφοβίας. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Better is an entertainment of herbs with friendliness and kindness, than a feast of calves, with enmity. | κρείσσων ξενισμὸς μετὰ λαχάνων πρὸς φιλίαν καὶ χάριν ἢ παράθεσις μόσχων μετὰ ἔχθρας. |
|
18
|
18
|
| A passionate man stirs up strife; but he that is slow to anger appeases even a rising one. | ἀνὴρ θυμώδης παρασκευάζει μάχας, μακρόθυμος δὲ καὶ τὴν μέλλουσαν καταπραΰνει. 18α μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ κατασβέσει κρίσεις, ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς ἐγείρει μᾶλλον. |
|
18a
|
|
| A man slow to anger will extinguish quarrels; but an ungodly man rather stirs them up. | |
|
19
|
19
|
| The ways of sluggards are strewn with thorns; but those of the diligent are made smooth. | ὁδοὶ ἀεργῶν ἐστρωμέναι ἀκάνθαις, αἱ δὲ τῶν ἀνδρείων τετριμμέναι. |
|
20
|

|
| A wise son gladdens his father; but a foolish son sneers at his mother. | υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα, υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει μητέρα αὐτοῦ. |
|
21
|
21
|
| The ways of a foolish man are void of sense; but a wise man proceeds on his way aright. | ἀνοήτου τρίβοι ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος κατευθύνων πορεύεται. |
|
22
|
22
|
| They that honour not councils put off deliberation; but counsel abides in the hearts of counsellors. | ὑπερτίθενται λογισμοὺς οἱ μὴ τιμῶντες συνέδρια, ἐν δὲ καρδίαις βουλευομένων μένει βουλή. |
|
23
|
23
|
| A bad man will by no means attend to counsel; neither will he say anything seasonable, or good for the common weal. | οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσῃ ὁ κακὸς αὐτῇ, οὐδὲ μὴ εἴπῃ καίριόν τι καὶ καλὸν τῷ κοινῷ. |
|
24
|
24
|
| The thoughts of the wise are ways of life, that he may turn aside and escape from hell. | ὁδοὶ ζωῆς διανοήματα συνετοῦ, ἵνα ἐκκλίνας ἐκ τοῦ ᾅδου σωθῇ. |
|
25
|
25
|
| The Lord pulls down the houses of scorners; but he establishes the border of the widow. | οἴκους ὑβριστῶν κατασπᾷ Κύριος, ἐστήρισε δὲ ὅριον χήρας. |
|
26
|
26
|
| An unrighteous thought is abomination to the Lord; but the sayings of the pure are held in honour. | βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ λογισμὸς ἄδικος, ἁγνῶν δὲ ρήσεις σεμναί. |
|
27
|
27
|
| A receiver of bribes destroys himself; but he that hates the receiving of bribes is safe. | ἐξόλλυσιν ἑαυτὸν ὁ δωρολήπτης, ὁ δὲ μισῶν δώρων λήψεις σώζεται. (Μασ. Ι´, |
|
27a
|
|
| By alms and by faithful dealings sins are purged away; but by the fear of the Lord every one departs from evil. | |
|
28
|
28
|
| The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness; but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things. | καρδίαι δικαίων μελετῶσι πίστεις, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποκρίνεται κακά. (Μασ. Ι´, |
|
28a
|
|
| The ways of righteous men are acceptable with the Lord; and through them even enemies become friends. | |
|
29
|
29
|
| God is far from the ungodly; but he hearkens to the prayers of the righteous. | μακρὰν ἀπέχει ὁ Θεὸς ἀπὸ ἀσεβῶν, εὐχαῖς δὲ δικαίων ἐπακούει. (Μασ. Ι´, |
|
29a
|
|
| Better are small receipts with righteousness, than abundant fruits with unrighteousness. | |
|
29b
|
|
| Let the heart of a man think justly, that his steps may be rightly ordered of God. | |
|
30
|
30
|
| The eye that sees rightly rejoices the heart; and a good report fattens the bones. | θεωρῶν ὀφθαλμὸς καλὰ εὐφραίνει καρδίαν, φήμη δὲ ἀγαθὴ πιαίνει ὀστᾶ. |
|
32
|
32
|
| He that rejects instruction hates himself; but he that minds reproofs loves his soul. | ὃς ἀπωθεῖται παιδείαν, μισεῖ ἑαυτόν, ὁ δὲ τηρῶν ἐλέγχους ἀγαπᾷ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ. |
|
33
|
33
|
| The fear of the Lord is instruction and wisdom; and the highest honour will correspond therewith. | φόβος Θεοῦ παιδεία καὶ σοφία, καὶ ἀρχὴ δόξης ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτῇ. |
