As a rush of water, so is the king's heart in God's hand: he turns it whithersoever he may desire to point out.
|
ΩΣΠΕΡ ὁρμὴ ὕδατος, οὕτως καρδία βασιλέως ἐν χειρὶ Θεοῦ· οὗ ἐὰν θέλων νεύσῃ, ἐκεῖ ἔκλινεν αὐτήν.

Every man seems to himself righteous; but the Lord directs the hearts.
|
πᾶς ἀνὴρ φαίνεται ἑαυτῷ δίκαιος, κατευθύνει δὲ καρδίας Κύριος.

To do justly and to speak truth, are more pleasing to God than the blood of sacrifices.
|
ποιεῖν δίκαια καὶ ἀληθεύειν ἀρεστὰ παρὰ Θεῷ μᾶλλον ἢ θυσιῶν αἷμα.

A high-minded man is stout-hearted in his pride; and the lamp of the wicked is sin.
|
μεγαλόφρων ἐν ὕβρει θρασυκάρδιος, λαμπτὴρ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἁμαρτία.

|
|
He that gathers treasures with a lying tongue pursues vanity on to the snares of death.
|
ὁ ἐνεργῶν θησαυρίσματα γλώσσῃ ψευδεῖ μάταια διώκει καὶ ἔρχεται ἐπὶ παγίδας θανάτου.
|

|
|
Destruction shall lodge with the ungodly; for they refuse to do justly.
|
ὄλεθρος ἀσεβέσιν ἐπιξενωθήσεται, οὐ γὰρ βούλονται πράσσειν τὰ δίκαια.
|

|
|
To the froward God sends froward ways; for his works are pure and right.
|
πρὸς τοὺς σκολιοὺς σκολιὰς ὁδοὺς ἀποστέλλει ὁ Θεός, ἁγνὰ γὰρ καὶ ὀρθὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ. 9κρεῖσσον οἰκεῖν ἐπὶ γωνίας ὑπαίθρου ἢ ἐν κεκονιαμένοις μετὰ ἀδικίας καὶ ἐν οἴκῳ κοινῷ.
|

|
|
It is better to dwell in a corner on the house-top, than in plastered rooms with unrighteousness, and in an open house.
|
ψυχὴ ἀσεβοῦς οὐκ ἐλεηθήσεται ὑπ᾿ οὐδενὸς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
|
|
10
|
11
|
|
The soul of the ungodly shall not be pitied by any man.
|
ζημιουμένου ἀκολάστου πανουργότερος γίνεται ὁ ἄκακος, συνίων δὲ σοφὸς δέξεται γνῶσιν.
|
|
11
|
12
|
|
When an intemperate man is punished the simple becomes wiser: and a wise man understanding will receive knowledge.
|
συνίει δίκαιος καρδίας ἀσεβῶν καὶ φαυλίζει ἀσεβεῖς ἐν κακοῖς.
|
|
12
|
13
|
|
A righteous man understands the hearts of the ungodly: and despises the ungodly for their wickedness.
|
ὃς φράσσει τὰ ὧτα αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ ἐπακοῦσαι ἀσθενοῦς, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπικαλέσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ εἰσακούων.
|
|
13
|
14
|
|
He that stops his ears from hearing the poor, himself also shall cry, and there shall be none to hear him.
|
δόσις λάθριος ἀνατρέπει ὀργάς, δώρων δὲ ὁ φειδόμενος θυμὸν ἐγείρει ἰσχυρόν.
|
|
14
|
15
|
|
A secret gift calms anger: but he that forbears to give stirs up strong wrath.
|
εὐφροσύνη δικαίων ποιεῖν κρίμα, ὅσιος δὲ ἀκάθαρτος παρὰ κακούργοις.
|
|
15
|
16
|
|
It is the joy of the righteous to do judgment: but a holy man is abominable with evil-doers.
|
ἀνὴρ πλανώμενος ἐξ ὁδοῦ δικαιοσύνης ἐν συναγωγῇ γιγάντων ἀναπαύσεται.
|
|
16
|
17
|
|
A man that wanders out of the way of righteousness, shall rest in the congregation of giants.
|
ἀνὴρ ἐνδεὴς ἀγαπᾷ εὐφροσύνην, φιλῶν οἶνον καὶ ἔλαιον εἰς πλοῦτον·
|
|
17
|
18
|
|
A poor man loves mirth, loving wine and oil in abundance;
|
περικάθαρμα δὲ δικαίου ἄνομος.
|
|
18
|
19
|
|
and a transgressor is the abomination of a righteous man.
|
κρεῖσσον οἰκεῖν ἐν γῇ ἐρήμῳ ἢ μετὰ γυναικὸς μαχίμου καὶ γλωσσώδους καὶ ὀργίλου.
|
|
19
|
20
|
|
It is better to dwell in a wilderness than with a quarrelsome and talkative and passionate woman.
|
θησαυρὸς ἐπιθυμητὸς ἀναπαύσεται ἐπὶ στόματος σοφοῦ, ἄφρονες δὲ ἄνδρες καταπίονται αὐτόν.
|
|
20
|
21
|
|
A desirable treasure will rest on the mouth of the wise; but foolish men will swallow it up.
|
ὁδὸς δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἐλεημοσύνης εὑρήσει ζωὴν καὶ δόξαν.
|
|
21
|
22
|
|
The way of righteousness and mercy will find life and glory.
|
πόλεις ὀχυρὰς ἐπέβη σοφὸς καὶ καθεῖλε τὸ ὀχύρωμα, ἐφ᾿ ᾧ ἐπεποίθεισαν οἱ ἀσεβεῖς.
|
|
22
|
23
|
|
A wise man assaults strong cities, and demolishes the fortress in which the ungodly trusted.
|
ὃς φυλάσσει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν γλῶσσαν, διατηρεῖ ἐκ θλίψεως τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
|
|
23
|
24
|
|
He that keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from trouble.
|
θρασὺς καὶ αὐθάδης καὶ ἀλαζὼν λοιμὸς καλεῖται, ὃς δὲ μνησικακεῖ, παράνομος.
|
|
24
|
25
|
|
A bold and self-willed and insolent man is called a pest: and he that remembers injuries is a transgressor.
|
ἐπιθυμίαι ὀκνηρὸν ἀποκτείνουσιν, οὐ γὰρ προαιροῦνται αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ποιεῖν τι.
|
|
25
|
26
|
|
Desires kill the sluggard; for his hands do not choose to do anything.
|
ἀσεβὴς ἐπιθυμεῖ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐπιθυμίας κακάς, ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐλεᾷ καὶ οἰκτείρει ἀφειδῶς.
|
|
26
|
27
|
|
An ungodly man entertains evil desires all the day: but the righteous is unsparingly merciful and compassionate.
|
θυσίαι ἀσεβῶν βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ, καὶ γὰρ παρανόμως προσφέρουσιν αὐτάς.
|
|
27
|
28
|
|
The sacrifices of the ungodly are abomination to the Lord, for they offer them wickedly.
|
μάρτυς ψευδὴς ἀπολεῖται, ἀνὴρ δὲ ὑπήκοος φυλασσόμενος λαλήσει.
|
|
28
|
29
|
|
A false witness shall perish; but an obedient man will speak cautiously.
|
ἀσεβὴς ἀνὴρ ἀναιδῶς ὑφίσταται προσώπῳ, ὁ δὲ εὐθὴς αὐτὸς συνίει τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ.
|
|
29
|
30
|
|
An ungodly man impudently withstands with his face; but the upright man himself understands his ways.
|
οὐκ ἔστι σοφία, οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνδρεία, οὐκ ἔστι βουλὴ πρὸς τὸν ἀσεβῆ.
|
|
30
|
31
|
|
There is no wisdom, there is no courage, there is no counsel against the ungodly.
|
ἵππος ἑτοιμάζεται εἰς ἡμέραν πολέμου, παρὰ δὲ Κυρίου ἡ βοήθεια.
|
|
31
|
|
|
A horse is prepared for the day of battle; but help is of the Lord.
