|
| ΩΣΠΕΡ ὁρμὴ ὕδατος, οὕτως καρδία βασιλέως ἐν χειρὶ Θεοῦ· οὗ ἐὰν θέλων νεύσῃ, ἐκεῖ ἔκλινεν αὐτήν. | 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. |
|

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

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

|
| μεγαλόφρων ἐν ὕβρει θρασυκάρδιος, λαμπτὴρ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἁμαρτία. | A high-minded man is stout-hearted in his pride; and the lamp of the wicked is sin. |
|
6
|
6
|
| ὁ ἐνεργῶν θησαυρίσματα γλώσσῃ ψευδεῖ μάταια διώκει καὶ ἔρχεται ἐπὶ παγίδας θανάτου. | He that gathers treasures with a lying tongue pursues vanity on to the snares of death. |
|
7
|
7
|
| ὄλεθρος ἀσεβέσιν ἐπιξενωθήσεται, οὐ γὰρ βούλονται πράσσειν τὰ δίκαια. | Destruction shall lodge with the ungodly; for they refuse to do justly. |
|
8
|
8
|
| 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. | To the froward God sends froward ways; for his works are pure and right. |

|
| ψυχὴ ἀσεβοῦς οὐκ ἐλεηθήσεται ὑπ᾿ οὐδενὸς τῶν ἀνθρώπων. | The soul of the ungodly shall not be pitied by any man. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ζημιουμένου ἀκολάστου πανουργότερος γίνεται ὁ ἄκακος, συνίων δὲ σοφὸς δέξεται γνῶσιν. | When an intemperate man is punished the simple becomes wiser: and a wise man understanding will receive knowledge. |
|
12
|
12
|
| συνίει δίκαιος καρδίας ἀσεβῶν καὶ φαυλίζει ἀσεβεῖς ἐν κακοῖς. | A righteous man understands the hearts of the ungodly: and despises the ungodly for their wickedness. |
|
13

| ὃς φράσσει τὰ ὧτα αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ ἐπακοῦσαι ἀσθενοῦς, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπικαλέσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ εἰσακούων. | He that stops his ears from hearing the poor, himself also shall cry, and there shall be none to hear him. |
|
14
|
14
|
| δόσις λάθριος ἀνατρέπει ὀργάς, δώρων δὲ ὁ φειδόμενος θυμὸν ἐγείρει ἰσχυρόν. | A secret gift calms anger: but he that forbears to give stirs up strong wrath. |
|
15
|
15
|
| εὐφροσύνη δικαίων ποιεῖν κρίμα, ὅσιος δὲ ἀκάθαρτος παρὰ κακούργοις. | It is the joy of the righteous to do judgment: but a holy man is abominable with evil-doers. |
|
16
|
16
|
| ἀνὴρ πλανώμενος ἐξ ὁδοῦ δικαιοσύνης ἐν συναγωγῇ γιγάντων ἀναπαύσεται. | A man that wanders out of the way of righteousness, shall rest in the congregation of giants. |
|

|
18
|
18
|
| περικάθαρμα δὲ δικαίου ἄνομος. | and a transgressor is the abomination of a righteous man. |
|
19
|
19
|
| κρεῖσσον οἰκεῖν ἐν γῇ ἐρήμῳ ἢ μετὰ γυναικὸς μαχίμου καὶ γλωσσώδους καὶ ὀργίλου. | It is better to dwell in a wilderness than with a quarrelsome and talkative and passionate woman. |
|
20
|
20
|
| θησαυρὸς ἐπιθυμητὸς ἀναπαύσεται ἐπὶ στόματος σοφοῦ, ἄφρονες δὲ ἄνδρες καταπίονται αὐτόν. | A desirable treasure will rest on the mouth of the wise; but foolish men will swallow it up. |
|
21
|
21
|
| ὁδὸς δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἐλεημοσύνης εὑρήσει ζωὴν καὶ δόξαν. | The way of righteousness and mercy will find life and glory. |
|
22
|
22
|
| πόλεις ὀχυρὰς ἐπέβη σοφὸς καὶ καθεῖλε τὸ ὀχύρωμα, ἐφ᾿ ᾧ ἐπεποίθεισαν οἱ ἀσεβεῖς. | A wise man assaults strong cities, and demolishes the fortress in which the ungodly trusted. |
|
23
|
23
|
| ὃς φυλάσσει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν γλῶσσαν, διατηρεῖ ἐκ θλίψεως τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ. | He that keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from trouble. |

| ἐπιθυμίαι ὀκνηρὸν ἀποκτείνουσιν, οὐ γὰρ προαιροῦνται αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ποιεῖν τι. | Desires kill the sluggard; for his hands do not choose to do anything. |
|
26
|
26

| ἀσεβὴς ἐπιθυμεῖ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐπιθυμίας κακάς, ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐλεᾷ καὶ οἰκτείρει ἀφειδῶς. | An ungodly man entertains evil desires all the day: but the righteous is unsparingly merciful and compassionate. |

30
|
| οὐκ ἔστι σοφία, οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνδρεία, οὐκ ἔστι βουλὴ πρὸς τὸν ἀσεβῆ. | There is no wisdom, there is no courage, there is no counsel against the ungodly. |
|
31
|
31

| ἵππος ἑτοιμάζεται εἰς ἡμέραν πολέμου, παρὰ δὲ Κυρίου ἡ βοήθεια. | A horse is prepared for the day of battle; but help is of the Lord. |
