Proverbs 3

KJV

1  My son,1121 forget7911 not408 my law;8451 but let thine heart3820 keep5341 my commandments:4687

2  For3588 length753 of days,3117 and long8141 life,2416 and peace,7965 shall they add3254 to thee.

3  Let not408 mercy2617 and truth571 forsake5800 thee: bind7194 them about5921 thy neck;1621 write3789 them upon5921 the table3871 of thine heart:3820

4  So shalt thou find4672 favor2580 and good2896 understanding7922 in the sight5869 of God430 and man.120

5  Trust982 in413 the LORD3068 with all3605 thine heart;3820 and lean8172 not408 unto413 thine own understanding.998

6  In all3605 thy ways1870 acknowledge3045 him, and he1931 shall direct3474 thy paths.734

7  Be1961 not408 wise2450 in thine own eyes:5869 fear3372 853 the LORD,3068 and depart5493 from evil.4480 7451

8  It shall be1961 health7500 to thy navel,8270 and marrow8250 to thy bones.6106

9  Honor3513 853 the LORD3068 with thy substance,4480 1952 and with the firstfruits4480 7225 of all3605 thine increase:8393

10  So shall thy barns618 be filled4390 with plenty,7647 and thy presses3342 shall burst out6555 with new wine.8492

11  My son,1121 despise3988 not408 the chastening4148 of the LORD;3068 neither408 be weary6973 of his correction:8433

12  For3588 853 whom834 the LORD3068 loveth157 he correcteth;3198 even as a father1 853 the son1121 in whom he delighteth.7521

13  Happy835 is the man120 that findeth4672 wisdom,2451 and the man120 that getteth6329 understanding.8394

14  For3588 the merchandise5504 of it is better2896 than the merchandise4480 5505 of silver,3701 and the gain8393 thereof than fine gold.4480 2742

15  She1931 is more precious3368 than rubies:4480 6443 and all3605 the things thou canst desire2656 are not3808 to be compared7737 unto her.

16  Length753 of days3117 is in her right hand;3225 and in her left hand8040 riches6239 and honor.3519

17  Her ways1870 are ways1870 of pleasantness,5278 and all3605 her paths5410 are peace.7965

18  She1931 is a tree6086 of life2416 to them that lay hold2388 upon her: and happy833 is every one that retaineth8551 her.

19  The LORD3068 by wisdom2451 hath founded3245 the earth;776 by understanding8394 hath he established3559 the heavens.8064

20  By his knowledge1847 the depths8415 are broken up,1234 and the clouds7834 drop down7491 the dew.2919

21  My son,1121 let not408 them depart3868 from thine eyes:4480 5869 keep5341 sound wisdom8454 and discretion:4209

22  So shall they be1961 life2416 unto thy soul,5315 and grace2580 to thy neck.1621

23  Then227 shalt thou walk1980 in thy way1870 safely,983 and thy foot7272 shall not3808 stumble.5062

24  When518 thou liest down,7901 thou shalt not3808 be afraid:6342 yea, thou shalt lie down,7901 and thy sleep8142 shall be sweet.6149

25  Be not408 afraid3372 of sudden6597 fear,4480 6343 neither of the desolation4480 7722 of the wicked,7563 when3588 it cometh.935

26  For3588 the LORD3068 shall be1961 thy confidence,3689 and shall keep8104 thy foot7272 from being taken.4480 3921

27  Withhold4513 not408 good2896 from them to whom it is due,4480 1167 when it is1961 in the power410 of thine hand3027 to do6213 it.

28  Say559 not408 unto thy neighbor,7453 Go,1980 and come again,7725 and tomorrow4279 I will give;5414 when thou hast3426 it by854 thee.

29  Devise2790 not408 evil7451 against5921 thy neighbor,7453 seeing he1931 dwelleth3427 securely983 by854 thee.

30  Strive7378 not408 with5973 a man120 without cause,2600 if518 he have done1580 thee no3808 harm.7451

31  Envy7065 thou not408 the oppressor,376 2555 and choose977 none408 3605 of his ways.1870

32  For3588 the froward3868 is abomination8441 to the LORD:3068 but his secret5475 is with854 the righteous.3477

33  The curse3994 of the LORD3068 is in the house1004 of the wicked:7563 but he blesseth1288 the habitation5116 of the just.6662

34  Surely518 he1931 scorneth3887 the scorners:3887 but he giveth5414 grace2580 unto the lowly.6035

35  The wise2450 shall inherit5157 glory:3519 but shame7036 shall be the promotion7311 of fools.3684

1 υἱέ ἐμῶν νομίμων μὴ ἐπιλανθάνου τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου τηρείτω σὴ καρδία

2 μῆκος γὰρ βίου καὶ ἔτη ζωῆς καὶ εἰρήνην προσθήσουσίν σοι

3 ἐλεημοσύναι καὶ πίστεις μὴ ἐκλιπέτωσάν σε ἄφαψαι δὲ αὐτὰς ἐπὶ σῷ τραχήλῳ καὶ εὑρήσεις χάριν

4 καὶ προνοοῦ καλὰ ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἀνθρώπων

5 ἴσθι πεποιθὼς ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ἐπὶ θεῷ ἐπὶ δὲ σῇ σοφίᾳ μὴ ἐπαίρου

6 ἐν πάσαις ὁδοῖς σου γνώριζε αὐτήν ἵνα ὀρθοτομῇ τὰς ὁδούς σου ὁ δὲ πούς σου οὐ μὴ προσκόπτῃ

7 μὴ ἴσθι φρόνιμος παρὰ σεαυτῷ φοβοῦ δὲ τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἔκκλινε ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ

8 τότε ἴασις ἔσται τῷ σώματί σου καὶ ἐπιμέλεια τοῖς ὀστέοις σου

9 τίμα τὸν κύριον ἀπὸ σῶν δικαίων πόνων καὶ ἀπάρχου αὐτῷ ἀπὸ σῶν καρπῶν δικαιοσύνης

10 ἵνα πίμπληται τὰ ταμίειά σου πλησμονῆς σίτου οἴνῳ δὲ αἱ ληνοί σου ἐκβλύζωσιν

11 υἱέ μὴ ὀλιγώρει παιδείας κυρίου μηδὲ ἐκλύου ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐλεγχόμενος

12 ὃν γὰρ ἀγαπᾷ κύριος παιδεύει μαστιγοῖ δὲ πάντα υἱὸν ὃν παραδέχεται

13 μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὃς εὗρεν σοφίαν καὶ θνητὸς ὃς εἶδεν φρόνησιν

14 κρεῖττον γὰρ αὐτὴν ἐμπορεύεσθαι ἢ χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου θησαυρούς

15 τιμιωτέρα δέ ἐστιν λίθων πολυτελῶν οὐκ ἀντιτάξεται αὐτῇ οὐδὲν πονηρόν εὔγνωστός ἐστιν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐγγίζουσιν αὐτῇ πᾶν δὲ τίμιον οὐκ ἄξιον αὐτῆς ἐστιν

16 μῆκος γὰρ βίου καὶ ἔτη ζωῆς ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτῆς ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀριστερᾷ αὐτῆς πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα
ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῆς ἐκπορεύεται δικαιοσύνη νόμον δὲ καὶ ἔλεον ἐπὶ γλώσσης φορεῖ

17 αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτῆς ὁδοὶ καλαί καὶ πάντες οἱ τρίβοι αὐτῆς ἐν εἰρήνῃ

18 ξύλον ζωῆς ἐστι πᾶσι τοῖς ἀντεχομένοις αὐτῆς καὶ τοῖς ἐπερειδομένοις ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν ὡς ἐπὶ κύριον ἀσφαλής

19 ὁ θεὸς τῇ σοφίᾳ ἐθεμελίωσεν τὴν γῆν ἡτοίμασεν δὲ οὐρανοὺς ἐν φρονήσει

20 ἐν αἰσθήσει ἄβυσσοι ἐρράγησαν νέφη δὲ ἐρρύησαν δρόσους

21 υἱέ μὴ παραρρυῇς τήρησον δὲ ἐμὴν βουλὴν καὶ ἔννοιαν

22 ἵνα ζήσῃ ἡ ψυχή σου καὶ χάρις ᾖ περὶ σῷ τραχήλῳ
ἔσται δὲ ἴασις ταῖς σαρξί σου καὶ ἐπιμέλεια τοῖς σοῖς ὀστέοις

23 ἵνα πορεύῃ πεποιθὼς ἐν εἰρήνῃ πάσας τὰς ὁδούς σου ὁ δὲ πούς σου οὐ μὴ προσκόψῃ

24 ἐὰν γὰρ κάθῃ ἄφοβος ἔσῃ ἐὰν δὲ καθεύδῃς ἡδέως ὑπνώσεις

25 καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσῃ πτόησιν ἐπελθοῦσαν οὐδὲ ὁρμὰς ἀσεβῶν ἐπερχομένας

26 ὁ γὰρ κύριος ἔσται ἐπὶ πασῶν ὁδῶν σου καὶ ἐρείσει σὸν πόδα ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῇς

27 μὴ ἀπόσχῃ εὖ ποιεῖν ἐνδεῆ ἡνίκα ἂν ἔχῃ ἡ χείρ σου βοηθεῖν

28 μὴ εἴπης ἐπανελθὼν ἐπάνηκε καὶ αὔριον δώσω δυνατοῦ σου ὄντος εὖ ποιεῖν οὐ γὰρ οἶδας τί τέξεται ἡ ἐπιοῦσα

29 μὴ τεκτήνῃ ἐπὶ σὸν φίλον κακὰ παροικοῦντα καὶ πεποιθότα ἐπὶ σοί

30 μὴ φιλεχθρήσῃς πρὸς ἄνθρωπον μάτην μή τι εἰς σὲ ἐργάσηται κακόν

31 μὴ κτήσῃ κακῶν ἀνδρῶν ὀνείδη μηδὲ ζηλώσῃς τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν

32 ἀκάθαρτος γὰρ ἔναντι κυρίου πᾶς παράνομος ἐν δὲ δικαίοις οὐ συνεδριάζει

33 κατάρα θεοῦ ἐν οἴκοις ἀσεβῶν ἐπαύλεις δὲ δικαίων εὐλογοῦνται

34 κύριος ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν

35 δόξαν σοφοὶ κληρονομήσουσιν οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὕψωσαν ἀτιμίαν

Vul

1 [Fili mi, ne obliviscaris legis meæ,
et præcepta mea cor tuum custodiat:

2 longitudinem enim dierum, et annos vitæ, et pacem,
apponent tibi.

3 Misericordia et veritas te non deserant;
circumda eas gutturi tuo,
et describe in tabulis cordis tui:

4 et invenies gratiam, et disciplinam bonam,
coram Deo et hominibus.

5 Habe fiduciam in Domino ex toto corde tuo,
et ne innitaris prudentiæ tuæ.

6 In omnibus viis tuis cogita illum,
et ipse diriget gressus tuos.

7 Ne sis sapiens apud temetipsum;
time Deum, et recede a malo:

8 sanitas quippe erit umbilico tuo,
et irrigatio ossium tuorum.

9 Honora Dominum de tua substantia,
et de primitiis omnium frugum tuarum da ei:

10 et implebuntur horrea tua saturitate,
et vino torcularia tua redundabunt.]

11 [Disciplinam Domini, fili mi, ne abjicias,
nec deficias cum ab eo corriperis:

12 quem enim diligit Dominus, corripit,
et quasi pater in filio complacet sibi.

13 Beatus homo qui invenit sapientiam,
et qui affluit prudentia.

14 Melior est acquisitio ejus negotiatione argenti,
et auri primi et purissimi fructus ejus.

15 Pretiosior est cunctis opibus,
et omnia quæ desiderantur huic non valent comparari.

16 Longitudo dierum in dextera ejus,
et in sinistra illius divitiæ et gloria.

17 Viæ ejus viæ pulchræ,
et omnes semitæ illius pacificæ.

18 Lignum vitæ est his qui apprehenderint eam,
et qui tenuerit eam beatus.

19 Dominus sapientia fundavit terram;
stabilivit cælos prudentia.

20 Sapientia illius eruperunt abyssi,
et nubes rore concrescunt.]

21 [Fili mi, ne effluant hæc ab oculis tuis.
Custodi legem atque consilium,

22 et erit vita animæ tuæ,
et gratia faucibus tuis.

23 Tunc ambulabis fiducialiter in via tua,
et pes tuus non impinget.

24 Si dormieris, non timebis;
quiesces, et suavis erit somnus tuus.

25 Ne paveas repentino terrore,
et irruentes tibi potentias impiorum.

26 Dominus enim erit in latere tuo,
et custodiet pedem tuum, ne capiaris.]

27 [Noli prohibere benefacere eum qui potest:
si vales, et ipse benefac.

28 Ne dicas amico tuo: Vade, et revertere: cras dabo tibi:
cum statim possis dare.

29 Ne moliaris amico tuo malum,
cum ille in te habeat fiduciam.

30 Ne contendas adversus hominem frustra,
cum ipse tibi nihil mali fecerit.

31 Ne æmuleris hominem injustum,
nec imiteris vias ejus:

32 quia abominatio Domini est omnis illusor,
et cum simplicibus sermocinatio ejus.

33 Egestas a Domino in domo impii;
habitacula autem justorum benedicentur.

34 Ipse deludet illusores,
et mansuetis dabit gratiam.

35 Gloriam sapientes possidebunt;
stultorum exaltatio ignominia.]
