| A fair name is better than much wealth, and good favour is above silver and gold. | ΑΙΡΕΤΩΤΕΡΟΝ ὄνομα καλὸν ἢ πλοῦτος πολύς, ὑπὲρ δὲ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον χάρις ἀγαθή, |
|

|
| The rich and the poor meet together; but the Lord made them both. | πλούσιος καὶ πτωχὸς συνήντησαν ἀλλήλοις, ἀμφοτέρους δὲ ὁ Κύριος ἐποίησε. |

|
| An intelligent man seeing a bad man severely punished is himself instructed, but fools pass by and are punished. | πανοῦργος ἱδὼν πονηρὸν τιμωρούμενον κραταιῶς αὐτὸς παιδεύεται, οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες παρελθόντες ἐζημιώθησαν. |

| The fear of the Lord is the offspring of wisdom, and wealth, and glory, and life. | γενεὰ σοφίας φόβος Κυρίου καὶ πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα καὶ ζωή. |

|
| Thistles and snares are in perverse ways; but he that keeps his soul will refrain from them. | τρίβολοι καὶ παγίδες ἐν ὁδοῖς σκολιαῖς, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχὴν ἀφέξεται αὐτῶν. |
|

|
| The rich will rule over the poor, and servants will lend to their own masters. | πλούσιοι πτωχῶν ἄρξουσι, καὶ οἰκέται ἰδίοις δεσπόταις δανειοῦσι. |
|

|
| He that sows wickedness shall reap troubles; and shall fully receive the punishment of his deeds. | ὁ σπείρων φαῦλα θερίσει κακά, πληγὴν δὲ ἔργων αὐτοῦ συντελέσει. 8α ἄνδρα ἱλαρὸν καὶ δότην εὐλογεῖ ὁ Θεός, ματαιότητα δὲ ἔργων αὐτοῦ συντελέσει. |
|
8a
|
|
| God loves a cheerful and liberal man; but a man shall fully prove the folly of his works. | |
|

|

|
| He that has pity on the poor shall himself be maintained; for he has given of his own bread to the poor. | ὁ ἐλεῶν πτωχὸν αὐτὸς διατραφήσεται, τῶν γὰρ ἑαυτοῦ ἄρτων ἔδωκε τῷ πτωχῷ. 9α νίκην καὶ τιμὴν περιποιεῖται ὁ δῶρα δούς, τὴν μέντοι ψυχὴν ἀφαιρεῖται τῶν κεκτημένων. |
|
9a
|
|
| He that gives liberally secures victory and honour; but he takes away the life of them that possess them. | |
|

|
| Cast out a pestilent person from the council, and strife shall go out with him; for when he sits in the council he dishonours all. | ἔκβαλε ἐκ συνεδρίου λοιμόν, καὶ συνεξελεύσεται αὐτῷ νεῖκος· ὅταν γὰρ καθίσῃ ἐν συνεδρίῳ, πάντας ἀτιμάζει. |
|
11
|
11
|
| The Lord loves holy hearts, and all blameless persons are acceptable with him: a king rules with his lips. | ἀγαπᾷ Κύριος ὁσίας καρδίας, δεκτοὶ δὲ αὐτῷ πάντες ἄμωμοι· χείλεσι ποιμαίνει βασιλεύς. |
|
12
|
12
|
| But the eyes of the Lord preserve discretion; but the transgressor despises wise words. | οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου διατηροῦσιν αἴσθησιν, φαυλίζει δὲ λόγους παράνομος. |
|
13
|
13
|
| The sluggard makes excuses, and says, There is a lion in the ways, and murderers in the streets. | προφασίζεται καὶ λέγει ὀκνηρός· λέων ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς, ἐν δὲ ταῖς πλατείαις φονευταί. |
|
14
|
14
|
| The mouth of a transgressor is a deep pit; and he that is hated of the Lord shall fall into it. | βόθρος βαθὺς στόμα παρανόμου, ὁ δὲ μισηθεὶς ὑπὸ Κυρίου ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς αὐτόν. 14α εἰσὶν ὁδοὶ κακαὶ ἐνώπιον ἀνδρός, καὶ οὐκ ἀγαπᾷ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν· ἀποστρέφειν δὲ δεῖ ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ σκολιᾶς καὶ κακῆς. |
|
14a
|
|
| Evil ways are before a man, and he does not like to turn away from them; but it is needful to turn aside from a perverse and bad way. | |
|
15
|
15
|
| Folly is attached to the heart of a child, but the rod and instruction are then far from him. | ἄνοια ἐξῆπται καρδίας νέου, ράβδος δὲ καὶ παιδεία μακρὰν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ. |
|
16
|
16
|
| He that oppresses the poor, increases his own substance, yet gives to the rich so as to make it less. | ὁ συκοφαντῶν πένητα πολλὰ ποιεῖ τὰ ἑαυτοῦ· δίδωσι δὲ πλουσίῳ ἐπ᾿ ἐλλάσσονι. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Incline thine ear to the words of wise men: hear also my word, and apply thine heart, | Λόγοις σοφῶν παράβαλλε σὸν οὗς καὶ ἄκουε ἐμὸν λόγον, τὴν δὲ σὴν καρδίαν ἐπίστησον, ἵνα γνῷς, ὅτι καλοί εἰσι· |
|
18
|
18
|
| that thou mayest know that they are good: and if thou lay them to heart, they shall also gladden thee on thy lips. | καὶ ἐὰν ἐμβάλῃς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν καρδίαν σου, εὐφρανοῦσί σε ἅμα ἐπὶ σοῖς χείλεσιν, |
|
19
|
19
|
| That thy hope may be in the Lord, and he may make thy way known to thee. | ἵνα σου γένηται ἐπὶ Κύριον ἡ ἐλπὶς καὶ γνωρίσῃ σοι τὴν ὁδόν σου. |
|
20
|
20
|
| And do thou too repeatedly record them for thyself on the table of thine heart, for counsel and knowledge. | καὶ σὺ δὲ ἀπόγραψαι αὐτὰ σεαυτῷ τρισσῶς εἰς βουλὴν καὶ γνῶσιν ἐπὶ τὸ πλάτος τῆς καρδίας σου. |
|
21
|
21
|
| I therefore teach thee truth, and knowledge good to hear; that thou mayest answer words of truth to them that question thee. | διδάσκω οὖν σε ἀληθῆ λόγον καὶ γνῶσιν ἀγαθὴν ὑπακούειν, τοῦ ἀποκρίνεσθαί σε λόγους ἀληθείας τοῖς προβαλλομένοις σοι. |
|
22
|
22
|
| Do no violence to the poor, for he is needy: neither dishonour the helpless man in the gates. | Μὴ ἀποβιάζου πένητα, πτωχὸς γάρ ἐστι, καὶ μὴ ἀτιμάσῃς ἀσθενῆ ἐν πύλαις· |
|
23
|
23
|
| For the Lord will plead his cause, and thou shalt deliver thy soul in safety. | ὁ γὰρ Κύριος κρινεῖ αὐτοῦ τὴν κρίσιν, καὶ ρύσῃ σὴν ἄσυλον ψυχήν. |
|
24
|
24
|
| Be not companion to a furious man; neither lodge with a passionate man: | μὴ ἴσθι ἑταῖρος ἀνδρὶ θυμώδει, φίλῳ δὲ ὀργίλῳ μὴ συναυλίζου, |
|
25
|
25
|
| lest thou learn of his ways, and get snares to thy soul. | μήποτε μάθῃς τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ λάβῃς βρόχους τῇ σῇ ψυχῇ. |
|
26
|
26
|
| Become not surety from respect of a man's person. | μὴ δίδου σεαυτὸν εἰς ἐγγύην αἰσχυνόμενος πρόσωπον· |
|
27
|
27
|
| For if those have not whence to give compensation, they will take the bed that is under thee. | ἐὰν γὰρ μὴ ἔχῃς πόθεν ἀποτίσῃς, λήψονται τὸ στρῶμα τὸ ὑπὸ τὰς πλευράς σου. |
|
28
|
28
|
| Remove not the old landmarks, which thy fathers placed. | μὴ μέταιρε ὅρια αἰώνια, ἃ ἔθεντο οἱ πατέρες σου. |
|
29
|
29
|
| It is fit that an observant man and one diligent in his business should attend on kings, and not attend on slothful men. | ὁρατικὸν ἄνδρα καὶ ὀξὺν ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ βασιλεῦσι δεῖ παρεστάναι καὶ μὴ παρεστάναι ἀνδράσι νωθροῖς. |
