Proverbs 11

KING JAMES BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.	1 Statera dolosa abominatio est apud Dominum, et pondus aequum voluntas eius.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.	2 Venit superbia, veniet et contumelia; apud humiles autem sapientia.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.	3 Simplicitas iustorum diriget eos, et supplantatio perversorum vastabit illos.
4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.	4 Non proderunt divitiae in die ultionis, iustitia autem liberabit a morte.
5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.	5 Iustitia simplicis diriget viam eius, et in impietate sua corruet impius.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.	6 Iustitia rectorum liberabit eos, et in insidiis suis capientur iniqui.
7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.	7 Mortuo homine impio, nulla erit ultra spes; et exspectatio divitiarum peribit.
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.	8 Iustus de angustia liberatus est, et tradetur impius pro eo.
9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.	9 Simulator ore decipit amicum suum, iusti autem liberabuntur scientia.
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.	10 In bonis iustorum exsultabit civitas, et in perditione impiorum erit laudatio.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.	11 Benedictione iustorum exaltabitur civitas et ore impiorum subvertetur.
12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.	12 Qui despicit amicum suum, indigens corde est, vir autem prudens tacebit.
13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.	13 Qui ambulat susurrans, revelat arcana; qui autem fidelis est animi, celat commissum.
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.	14 Ubi non adsunt dispositiones, populus corruet; salus autem, ubi multa consilia.
15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.	15 Affligetur malo, qui fidem facit pro extraneo; qui autem odit sponsores, securus erit.
16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.	16 Mulier gratiosa inveniet gloriam, et robusti habebunt divitias.
17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.	17 Benefacit animae suae vir misericors; qui autem crudelis est, carnem suam affligit.
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.	18 Impius facit opus fallax, seminanti autem iustitiam merces fidelis.
19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.	19 Firmus in iustitia praeparat vitam, et sectator malorum mortem.
20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.	20 Abominabile Domino cor pravum, et voluntas eius in iis, qui simpliciter ambulant.
21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.	21 Manus in manu, non erit impunitus malus, semen autem iustorum salvabitur.
22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.	22 Circulus aureus in naribus suis mulier pulchra et fatua.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.	23 Desiderium iustorum omne bonum est, praestolatio impiorum furor.
24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.	24 Alii dividunt propria et ditiores fiunt, alii parciores iusto semper in egestate sunt.
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.	25 Anima, quae benedicit, impinguabitur; et, qui inebriat, ipse quoque inebriatur.
26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.	26 Qui abscondit frumenta, maledicetur in populis, benedictio autem super caput vendentium.
27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.	27 Qui instanter quaerit bonum, quaerit beneplacitum; qui autem investigator malorum est, haec advenient ei.
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.	28 Qui confidit in divitiis suis, corruet, iusti autem quasi virens folium germinabunt.
29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.	29 Qui conturbat domum suam, possidebit ventos; et, qui stultus est, serviet sapienti.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.	30 Fructus iusti lignum vitae; et suscipit animas, qui sapiens est.
31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.	31 Si iustus in terra rependitur, quanto magis impius et peccator.
