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.
|
ἐν πλεοναζούσῃ δικαιοσύνῃ ἰσχὺς πολλή, οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὁλόρριζοι ἐκ γῆς ἀπολοῦνται. οἴκοις δικαίων ἰσχὺς πολλή, καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολοῦνται.

|
|
The lips of the wise are bound by discretion: but the hearts of the foolish are not safe.
|
χείλη σοφῶν δέδεται αἰσθήσει, καρδία δὲ ἀφρόνων οὐκ ἀσφαλεῖς.
|

|
|
The sacrifices of the ungodly are an abomination to the Lord; but the prayers of them that walk honestly are acceptable with him.
|
θυσίαι ἀσεβῶν βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ, εὐχαὶ δὲ κατευθυνόντων δεκταὶ παρ᾿ αὐτῷ.
|
|

|

|
|
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.
|
|
10
|

|
|
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. A man slow to anger will extinguish quarrels; but an ungodly man rather stirs them up.
|
ἀνὴρ θυμώδης παρασκευάζει μάχας, μακρόθυμος δὲ καὶ τὴν μέλλουσαν καταπραΰνει. 18α μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ κατασβέσει κρίσεις, ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς ἐγείρει μᾶλλον.
|
|
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
|

|
|
A receiver of bribes destroys himself; but he that hates the receiving of bribes is safe. By alms and by faithful dealings sins are purged away; but by the fear of the Lord every one departs from evil.
|
ἐξόλλυσιν ἑαυτὸν ὁ δωρολήπτης, ὁ δὲ μισῶν δώρων λήψεις σώζεται. (Μασ. Ι´,
|
|
28
|
6
|
|
The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness; but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things. The ways of righteous men are acceptable with the Lord; and through them even enemies become friends.
|
). 27α ἐλεημοσύναις καὶ πίστεσιν ἀποκαθαίρονται ἁμαρτίαι, τῷ δὲ φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐκκλίνει πᾶς ἀπὸ κακοῦ.
|
|
29
|
28
|
|
God is far from the ungodly; but he hearkens to the prayers of the righteous. Better are small receipts with righteousness, than abundant fruits with unrighteousness. Let the heart of a man think justly, that his steps may be rightly ordered of God.
|
καρδίαι δικαίων μελετῶσι πίστεις, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποκρίνεται κακά. (Μασ. Ι´,
|
|
30
|
7
|
|
The eye that sees rightly rejoices the heart; and a good report fattens the bones.
|
). 28α δεκταὶ παρὰ Κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀνθρώπων δικαίων, διὰ δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ φίλοι γίνονται.
|
|
32
|
29
|
|
He that rejects instruction hates himself; but he that minds reproofs loves his soul.
|
μακρὰν ἀπέχει ὁ Θεὸς ἀπὸ ἀσεβῶν, εὐχαῖς δὲ δικαίων ἐπακούει. (Μασ. Ι´,
|
|
33
|
8
|
|
The fear of the Lord is instruction and wisdom; and the highest honour will correspond therewith.
|
). 29α κρείσσων ὀλίγη λῆψις μετὰ δικαιοσύνης ἢ πολλὰ γεννήματα μετὰ ἀδικίας. 29β καρδία ἀνδρὸς λογιζέσθω δίκαια, ἵνα ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ διορθωθῇ τὰ διαβήματα αὐτοῦ.
