| My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for thy former sins. | ΕΣΤΙΝ ἔλεγχος ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ὡραῖος, καὶ ἔστι σιωπῶν καὶ αὐτὸς φρόνιμος. |
|

|
| Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men. | ὡς καλὸν ἐλέγξαι ἢ θυμοῦσθαι, καὶ ὁ ἀνθομολογούμενος ἀπὸ ἐλαττώσεως κωλυθήσεται. |

|
| All iniquity is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed. | |

|
| To terrify and do wrong will waste riches: thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate. | ἐπιθυμία εὐνούχου ἀποπαρθενῶσαι νεάνιδα, οὕτως ὁ ποιῶν ἐν βίᾳ κρίματα. |
|

|
| A prayer out of a poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily. | ἔστι σιωπῶν εὑρισκόμενος σοφός, καὶ ἔστι μισητὸς ἀπὸ πολλῆς λαλιᾶς. |
|

|
| He that hateth reproof is in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart. | ἔστι σιωπῶν, οὐ γὰρ ἔχει ἀπόκρισιν, καὶ ἔστι σιωπῶν εἰδὼς καιρόν. |
|

|
| An eloquent man is known far and near; but a man of understanding knoweth when he slippeth. | ἄνθρωπος σοφὸς σιγήσει ἕως καιροῦ, ὁ δὲ λαπιστὴς καὶ ἄφρων ὑπερβήσεται καιρόν. |
|

|
| He that buildeth his house with other men's money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial. | ὁ πλεονάζων λόγῳ βδελυχθήσεται, καὶ ὁ ἐνεξουσιαζόμενος μισηθήσεται. |
|

|
| The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them. | ἔστιν εὐοδία ἐν κακοῖς ἀνδρί, καὶ ἔστιν εὕρημα εἰς ἐλάττωσιν. |
|
10
|
10
|
| The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell. | ἔστι δόσις, ἣ οὐ λυσιτελήσει σοι, καὶ ἔστι δόσις, ἧς τὸ ἀνταπόδομα διπλοῦν. |
|
11
|
11
|
| He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom. | ἔστιν ἐλάττωσις ἕνεκεν δόξης, καὶ ἔστιν ὃς ἀπὸ ταπεινώσεως ᾖρε κεφαλήν. |
|
12
|
12
|
| He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness. | ἔστιν ἀγοράζων πολλὰ ὀλίγου καὶ ἀποτιννύων αὐτὰ ἑπταπλάσιον. |
|
13
|
13
|
| The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life. | ὁ σοφὸς ἐν λόγῳ ἑαυτὸν προσφιλῆ ποιήσει, χάριτες δὲ μωρῶν ἐκχυθήσονται. |
|
14
|
14
|
| The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth. | δόσις ἄφρονος οὐ λυσιτελήσει σοι, οἱ γὰρ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀνθ᾿ ἑνὸς πολλοί· |
|
15
|
15
|
| If a skilful man hear a wise word, he will commend it, and add unto it: but when one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind his back. | ὀλίγα δώσει καὶ πολλὰ ὀνειδίσει καὶ ἀνοίξει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ὡς κῆρυξ· σήμερον δανιεῖ καὶ αὔριον ἀπαιτήσει, μισητὸς ἄνθρωπος ὁ τοιοῦτος. |
|
16
|
16
|
| The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise. | μωρὸς ἐρεῖ· οὐχ ὑπάρχει μοι φίλος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι χάρις τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς μου· οἱ ἔσθοντες τὸν ἄρτον μου, φαῦλοι γλώσσῃ· |
|
17
|
17
|
| They enquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congregation, and they shall ponder his words in their heart. | ποσάκις καὶ ὅσοι καταγελάσονται αὐτοῦ;— |
|
18
|
18
|
| As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense. | ᾿Ολίσθημα ἀπὸ ἐδάφους μᾶλλον ἢ ἀπὸ γλώσσης, οὕτως πτῶσις κακῶν κατὰ σπουδὴν ἥξει. |
|
19
|
19
|
| Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand. | ἄνθρωπος ἄχαρις, μῦθος ἄκαιρος· ἐν στόματι ἀπαιδεύτων ἐνδελεχισθήσεται. |
|
20
|
20
|
| A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter; but a wise man doth scarce smile a little. | ἀπὸ στόματος μωροῦ ἀποδοκιμασθήσεται παραβολή, οὐ γὰρ μὴ εἴπῃ αὐτὴν ἐν καιρῷ αὐτῆς. |
|
21
|
21
|
| Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm. | ῎Εστι κωλυόμενος ἁμαρτάνειν ἀπὸ ἐνδείας, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀναπαύσει αὐτοῦ οὐ κατανυγήσεται. |
|
22
|
22
|
| A foolish man's foot is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience is ashamed of him. | ἔστιν ἀπολλύων τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ δι᾿ αἰσχύνην, καὶ ἀπὸ ἄφρονος προσώπου ἀπολεῖ αὐτήν. |
|
23
|
23
|
| A fool will peep in at the door into the house: but he that is well nurtured will stand without. | ἔστι χάριν αἰσχύνης ἐπαγγελόμενος φίλῳ, καὶ ἐκτήσατο αὐτὸν ἐχθρὸν δωρεάν.— |
|
24
|
24
|
| It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door: but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace. | Μῶμος πονηρὸς ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ ψεῦδος, ἐν στόματι ἀπαιδεύτων ἐνδελεχισθήσεται. |
|
25
|
25
|
| The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them: but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance. | αἱρετὸν κλέπτης ἢ ὁ ἐνδελεχίζων ψεύδει, ἀμφότεροι δὲ ἀπώλειαν κληρονομήσουσιν. |
|
26
|
26
|
| The heart of fools is in their mouth: but the mouth of the wise is in their heart. | ἦθος ἀνθρώπου ψευδοῦς ἀτιμία, καὶ ἡ αἰσχύνη αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐνδελεχῶς. ΛΟΓΟΙ ΠΑΡΑΒΟΛΩΝ.— |
|
27
|
27
|
| When the ungodly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul. | ῾Ο σοφὸς ἐν λόγοις προάξει ἑαυτόν, καὶ ἄνθρωπος φρόνιμος ἀρέσει μεγιστᾶσιν. |
|
28
|
28
|
| A whisperer defileth his own soul, and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth. | ὁ ἐργαζόμενος γῆν ἀνυψώσει θημωνίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ἀρέσκων μεγιστᾶσιν ἐξιλάσεται ἀδικίαν. |
