Douai-Rheims	New Jerusalem Bible
¹ A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth up fury.	¹ A mild answer turns away wrath, sharp words stir up anger.
² The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth of fools bubbleth out folly.	² The tongue of the wise makes knowledge welcome, the mouth of a fool spews fol y.
³ The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.	³ The eyes of Yahweh are everywhere: observing the wicked and the good.
⁴ A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.	⁴ The tongue that soothes is a tree of life; the perverse tongue, a breaker of hearts.
⁵ A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.	⁵ Only a fool spurns a father's discipline, whoever accepts correction is discreet.
⁶ The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.	⁶ In the house of the upright there is no lack of treasure, the earnings of the wicked are fraught withanxiety.
⁷ The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.	⁷ The lips of the wise spread knowledge, not so the hearts of fools.
⁸ The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.	⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is abhorrent to Yahweh, dear to him is the prayer of the honest.
⁹ The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.	⁹ The conduct of the wicked is abhorrent to Yahweh, but he loves the person whose goal is uprightness.
¹⁰ Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.	¹⁰ Correction is severe for one who leaves the way; whoever hates being reprimanded wil die.
¹¹ Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men?	¹¹ Sheol and Perdition lie open to Yahweh; how much more the human heart!
¹² A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor will he go to the wise.	¹² The mocker does not care to be reprimanded, and wil not choose the wise as companions.
¹³ A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by grief of mind the spirit is cast down.	¹³ Glad heart means happy face, where the heart is sad the spirit is broken.
¹⁴ The heart of the wise seeketh instruction: and the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.	¹⁴ The heart of the wise seeks knowledge, a fool's mouth feeds on fol y.
¹⁵ All the days of the poor are evil: a secure mind is like a continual feast.	¹⁵ For the poor every day is evil, for the joyous heart it is always festival time.
¹⁶ Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content,	¹⁶ Better to have little and with it fear of Yahweh than immense wealth and with it anxiety.
¹⁷ It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than to a fatted calf with hatred.	¹⁷ Better a dish of herbs when love is there than a fattened ox and hatred to go with it.
¹⁸ A passionate man stirreth up strifes: he that is patient appeaseth those that are stirred up.	¹⁸ The hot-headed provokes disputes, the equable al ays dissension.
¹⁹ The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; the way of the just is without offence.	¹⁹ The way of the lazy is like a thorny hedge, the path of the honest is a broad highway.
²⁰ A wise son maketh a father joyful: but the foolish man despiseth his mother.	²⁰ A wise child is a father's joy; only a brute despises his mother.
²¹ Folly is joy to the fool: and the wise man maketh straight his steps.	²¹ Fol y appeals to someone without sense, a person of understanding goes straight forward.
²² Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.	²² Without deliberation plans come to nothing. Plans succeed where counsellors are many.
²³ A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.	²³ Anyone who has a ready answer has joy too: how satisfying is the apt reply!
²⁴ The path of life is above for the wise, that he may decline from the lowest hell.	²⁴ For the prudent, the path of life leads upwards thus avoiding Sheol below.
²⁵ The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.	²⁵ Yahweh pulls down the house of the proud, but he keeps the widow's boundaries intact.
²⁶ Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.	²⁶ Wicked scheming is abhorrent to Yahweh, but words that are kind are pure.
²⁷ He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.	²⁷ Craving for dishonest gain brings trouble on a house, hatred of bribery earns life.
²⁸ The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.	²⁸ The heart of the upright reflects before answering, the mouth of the wicked spews out wickedness.
²⁹ The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the prayers of the just.	²⁹ Yahweh keeps his distance from the wicked, but he listens to the prayers of the upright.
³⁰ The light of the eyes rejoiceth the soul: a good name maketh the bones fat.	³⁰ A kindly glance gives joy to the heart, good news lends strength to the bones.
³¹ The ear that heareth the reproofs of life, shall abide in the midst of the wise.	³¹ The ear attentive to wholesome correction finds itself at home in the company of the wise.
³² He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.	³² Whoever rejects correction lacks self-respect, whoever accepts reproof grows in understanding.
³³ The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.	³³ The fear of Yahweh is a school of wisdom, before there can be glory, there must be humility.
