Proverbs 12

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.	1 Qui diligit disciplinam diligit scientiam ; qui autem odit increpationes insipiens est.
2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.	2 Qui bonus est hauriet gratiam a Domino ; qui autem confidit in cogitationibus suis impie agit.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.	3 Non roborabitur homo ex impietate, et radix justorum non commovebitur.
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.	4 Mulier diligens corona est viro suo ; et putredo in ossibus ejus, quæ confusione res dignas gerit.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.	5 Cogitationes justorum judicia, et consilia impiorum fraudulenta.
6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.	6 Verba impiorum insidiantur sanguini ; os justorum liberabit eos.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.	7 Verte impios, et non erunt ; domus autem justorum permanebit.
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.	8 Doctrina sua noscetur vir ; qui autem vanus et excors est patebit contemptui.
9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.	9 Melior est pauper et sufficiens sibi quam gloriosus et indigens pane.
10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.	10 Novit justus jumentorum suorum animas ; viscera autem impiorum crudelia.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.	11 Qui operatur terram suam satiabitur panibus ; qui autem sectatur otium stultissimus est. Qui suavis est in vini demorationibus, in suis munitionibus relinquit contumeliam.
12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.	12 Desiderium impii munimentum est pessimorum ; radix autem justorum proficiet.
13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.	13 Propter peccata labiorum ruina proximat malo ; effugiet autem justus de angustia.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.	14 De fructu oris sui unusquisque replebitur bonis, et juxta opera manuum suarum retribuetur ei.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.	15 Via stulti recta in oculis ejus ; qui autem sapiens est audit consilia.
16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.	16 Fatuus statim indicat iram suam ; qui autem dissimulat injuriam callidus est.
17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.	17 Qui quod novit loquitur, index justitiæ est ; qui autem mentitur, testis est fraudulentus.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.	18 Est qui promittit, et quasi gladio pungitur conscientiæ : lingua autem sapientium sanitas est.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.	19 Labium veritatis firmum erit in perpetuum ; qui autem testis est repentinus, concinnat linguam mendacii.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellers of peace is joy.	20 Dolus in corde cogitantium mala ; qui autem pacis ineunt consilia, sequitur eos gaudium.
21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.	21 Non contristabit justum quidquid ei acciderit : impii autem replebuntur malo.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.	22 Abominatio est Domino labia mendacia ; qui autem fideliter agunt placent ei.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.	23 Homo versatus celat scientiam, et cor insipientium provocat stultitiam.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.	24 Manus fortium dominabitur ; quæ autem remissa est, tributis serviet.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.	25 Mœror in corde viri humiliabit illum, et sermone bono lætificabitur.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.	26 Qui negligit damnum propter amicum, justus est ; iter autem impiorum decipiet eos.
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.	27 Non inveniet fraudulentus lucrum, et substantia hominis erit auri pretium.
28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.	28 In semita justitiæ vita ; iter autem devium ducit ad mortem.
