Douai-Rheims	New Jerusalem Bible
¹ He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish.	¹ Whoever loves discipline, loves knowledge, stupid are those who hate correction.
² He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord : but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.	² The honest obtains Yahweh's favour, the schemer incurs his condemnation.
³ Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.	³ No one is made secure by wickedness, but nothing shakes the roots of the upright.
⁴ A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones.	⁴ A capable wife, her husband's crown, a shameless wife, a cancer in his bones.
⁵ The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.	⁵ The plans of the upright are honest, the intrigues of the wicked are full of deceit.
⁶ The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.	⁶ The words of the wicked are snares to shed blood, what the honest say keeps them safe.
⁷ Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.	⁷ Once thrown down, the wicked are no more, but the house of the upright stands firm.
⁸ A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.	⁸ Prudence wins praise, but a tortuous heart incurs only contempt.
⁹ Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.	⁹ Better a common fel ow who has a slave than someone who gives himself airs and has nothing to eat.
¹⁰ The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.	¹⁰ The upright has compassion on his animals, but the heart of the wicked is ruthless.
¹¹ He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.	¹¹ Whoever works his land shall have bread and to spare, but no one who chases fantasies has anysense.
¹² The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.	¹² The godless delights in the snare of the wicked, but the root of the upright bears fruit.
¹³ For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.	¹³ In the sin of the lips lies a disastrous trap, but the upright finds a way out of misfortune.
¹⁴ By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.	¹⁴ Abundance of good things is the fruit of the lips; labour brings its own return.
¹⁵ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels.	¹⁵ Fools think the way they go is straight, the wise listens to advice.
¹⁶ A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.	¹⁶ The fool shows anger straightaway, the discreet conceals dislike.
¹⁷ He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.	¹⁷ To tel the truth is to further justice, a false witness is nothing but deceit.
¹⁸ There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.	¹⁸ Thoughtless words can wound like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
¹⁹ The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.	¹⁹ Sincere lips endure for ever, the lying tongue lasts only a moment.
²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.	²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of the schemer, joy with those who give counsels of peace.
²¹ Whatsoever shall befall the just man. it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.	²¹ No harm can come to the upright, but the wicked are swamped by misfortunes.
²² Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.	²² Lying lips are abhorrent to Yahweh; dear to him those who make truth their way of life.
²³ A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.	²³ The discreet keeps knowledge hidden, the heart of fools proclaims their folly.
²⁴ The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.	²⁴ For the diligent hand, authority; for the slack hand, forced labour.
²⁵ Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.	²⁵ Worry makes a heart heavy, a kindly word makes it glad.
²⁶ He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.	²⁶ The upright shows the way to a friend; the way of the wicked leads them astray.
²⁷ The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold.	²⁷ The idle has no game to roast; diligence is anyone's most precious possession.
²⁸ In the path of justice is life: but the by-way leadeth to death.	²⁸ In the way of uprightness is life, the ways of the vengeful lead to death.
