| Προφάσεις ζητεῖ ἀνὴρ βουλόμενος χωρίζεσθαι ἀπὸ φίλων, ἐν παντὶ δὲ καιρῷ ἐπονείδιστος ἔσται. | A man who wishes to separate from friends seeks excuses; but at all times he will be liable to reproach. |
|

|
| οὐ χρείαν ἔχει σοφίας ἐνδεὴς φρενῶν, μᾶλλον γὰρ ἄγεται ἀφροσύνῃ. | A senseless man feels no need of wisdom, for he is rather led by folly. |
|

|
| ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἀσεβὴς εἰς βάθος κακῶν, καταφρονεῖ, επέρχεται δὲ αὐτῷ ἀτιμία καὶ ὄνειδος. | When an ungodly man comes into a depth of evils, he despises them; but dishonour and reproach come upon him. |
|

|
4
|
| ὕδωρ βαθὺ λόγος ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνδρός, ποταμὸς δὲ ἀναπηδύει καὶ πηγὴ ζωῆς. | A word in the heart of a man is a deep water, and a river and fountain of life spring forth. |
|

|
5
|
| θαυμάσαι πρόσωπον ἀσεβοῦς οὐ καλόν, οὐδὲ ὅσιον ἐκκλίνειν τὸ δίκαιον ἐν κρίσει. | It is not good to accept the person of the ungodly, nor is it holy to pervert justice in judgment. |
|

|
6
|
| χείλη ἄφρονος ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν εἰς κακά, τὸ δὲ στόμα αὐτοῦ τὸ θρασὺ θάνατον ἐπικαλεῖται. | The lips of a fool bring him into troubles, and his bold mouth calls for death. |
|
7
|
7
|
| στόμα ἄφρονος συντριβὴ αὐτῷ, τὰ δὲ χείλη αὐτοῦ παγὶς τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ. | A fool's mouth is ruin to him, and his lips are a snare to his soul. |
|
8
|
8
|
| ὀκνηροὺς καταβάλλει φόβος, ψυχαὶ δὲ ἀνδρογύνων πεινάσουσιν. | Fear casts down the slothful; and the souls of the effeminate shall hunger. |
|

|
9
|
| ὁ μὴ ἰώμενος ἑαυτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις αὑτοῦ ἀδελφός ἐστι τοῦ λυμαινομένου ἑαυτόν. | A man who helps not himself by his labour is brother of him that ruins himself. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ἐκ μεγαλωσύνης ἰσχύος ὄνομα Κυρίου, αὐτῷ δὲ προσδραμόντες δίκαιοι ὑψοῦνται. | The name of the Lord is of great strength; and the righteous running to it are exalted. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ὕπαρξις πλουσίου ἀνδρὸς πόλις ὀχυρά, ἡ δὲ δόξα αὐτῆς μέγα ἐπισκιάζει. | The wealth of a rich man is a strong city; and its glory casts a broad shadow. |
|
12
|
12
|
| πρὸ συντριβῆς ὑψοῦται καρδία ἀνδρός, καὶ πρὸ δόξης ταπεινοῦται. | Before ruin a man's heart is exalted, and before honour it is humble. |
|
13
|
13
|
| ὃς ἀποκρίνεται λόγον πρὶν ἀκοῦσαι, ἀφροσύνη αὐτῷ ἐστι καὶ ὄνειδος. | Whoso answers a word before he hears a cause, it is folly and reproach to him. |
|
14
|
14
|
| θυμὸν ἀνδρὸς πραΰνει θεράπων φρόνιμος, ὀλιγόψυχον δὲ ἄνδρα τίς ὑποίσει; | A wise servant calms a man's anger; but who can endure a faint-hearted man? |
|
15
|
15
|
| καρδία φρονίμου κτᾶται αἴσθησιν, ὦτα δὲ σοφῶν ζητεῖ ἔννοιαν. | The heart of the sensible man purchases discretion; and the ears of the wise seek understanding. |
|
16
|
16
|
| δόμα ἀνθρώπου ἐμπλατύνει αὐτὸν καὶ παρὰ δυνάσταις καθιζάνει αὐτόν. | A man's gift enlarges him, and seats him among princes. |
|
17
|
17
|
| δίκαιος ἑαυτοῦ κατήγορος ἐν πρωτολογίᾳ, ὡς δ’ ἂν ἐπιβάλῃ ὁ ἀντίδικος ἐλέγχεται. | A righteous man accuses himself at the beginning of his speech, but when he has entered upon the attack, the adversary is reproved. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ἀντιλογίας παύει σιγηρός, ἐν δὲ δυναστείαις ὁρίζει. | A silent man quells strifes, and determines between great powers. |
|
19
|
19
|
| ἀδελφὸς ὑπὸ ἀδελφοῦ βοηθούμενος ὡς πόλις ὀχυρὰ καὶ ὑψηλή, ἰσχύει δὲ ὥσπερ τεθεμελιωμένον βασίλειον. | A brother helped by a brother is as a strong and high city; and is as strong as a well-founded palace. |
|
20
|
20
|
| ἀπὸ καρπῶν στόματος ἀνὴρ πίμπλησι κοιλίαν αὐτοῦ, ἀπὸ δὲ καρπῶν χειλέων αὐτοῦ ἐμπλησθήσεται. | A man fills his belly with the fruits of his mouth; and he shall be satisfied with the fruits of his lips. |
|

|
21
|
| θάνατος καὶ ζωὴ ἐν χειρὶ γλώσσης, οἱ δὲ κρατοῦντες αὐτῆς ἔδονται τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς. | Life and death are in the power of the tongue; and they that rule it shall eat the fruits thereof. |
|
22
|
22
|
| ὃς εὗρε γυναῖκα ἀγαθήν, εὗρε χάριτας, ἔλαβε δὲ παρὰ Θεοῦ ἱλαρότητα. 22α ὃς ἐκβάλλει γυναῖκα ἀγαθήν, ἐκβάλλει τὰ ἀγαθά, ὁ δὲ κατέχων μοιχαλίδα ἄφρων καὶ ἀσεβής. | He that has found a good wife has found favours, and has received gladness from God. |
