| 1 My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for thy former sins. | 1 τεκνον ημαρτες μη προσθης μηκετι και περι των προτερων σου δεηθητι |
| 2 Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men. | 2 ως απο προσωπου οφεως φευγε απο αμαρτιας εαν γαρ προσελθης δηξεται σε οδοντες λεοντος οι οδοντες αυτης αναιρουντες ψυχας ανθρωπων |
| 3 All iniquity is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed. | 3 ως ρομφαια διστομος πασα ανομια τη πληγη αυτης ουκ εστιν ιασις |
| 4 To terrify and do wrong will waste riches: thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate. | 4 καταπληγμος και υβρις ερημωσουσιν πλουτον ουτως οικος υπερηφανου ερημωθησεται |
| 5 A prayer out of a poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily. | 5 δεησις πτωχου εκ στοματος εως ωτιων αυτου και το κριμα αυτου κατα σπουδην ερχεται |
| 6 He that hateth to be reproved is in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart. | 6 μισων ελεγμον εν ιχνει αμαρτωλου και ο φοβουμενος κυριον επιστρεψει εν καρδια |
| 7 An eloquent man is known far and near; but a man of understanding knoweth when he slippeth. | 7 γνωστος μακροθεν ο δυνατος εν γλωσση ο δε νοημων οιδεν εν τω ολισθανειν αυτον |
| 8 He that buildeth his house with other men's money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial. | 8 ο οικοδομων την οικιαν αυτου εν χρημασιν αλλοτριοις ως συναγων αυτου τους λιθους εις χειμωνα |
| 9 The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them. | 9 στιππυον συνηγμενον συναγωγη ανομων και η συντελεια αυτων φλοξ πυρος |
| 10 The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell. | 10 οδος αμαρτωλων ωμαλισμενη εκ λιθων και επ' εσχατων αυτης βοθρος αδου |
| 11 He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom. | 11 ο φυλασσων νομον κατακρατει του εννοηματος αυτου και συντελεια του φοβου κυριου σοφια |
| 12 He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness. | 12 ου παιδευθησεται ος ουκ εστιν πανουργος εστιν δε πανουργια πληθυνουσα πικριαν |
| 13 The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life. | 13 γνωσις σοφου ως κατακλυσμος πληθυνθησεται και η βουλη αυτου ως πηγη ζωης |
| 14 The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth. | 14 εγκατα μωρου ως αγγειον συντετριμμενον και πασαν γνωσιν ου κρατησει |
| 15 If a skilful man hear a wise word, he will commend it, and add unto it: but as soon as one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind his back. | 15 λογον σοφον εαν ακουση επιστημων αινεσει αυτον και επ' αυτον προσθησει ηκουσεν ο σπαταλων και απηρεσεν αυτω και απεστρεψεν αυτον οπισω του νωτου αυτου |
| 16 The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise. | 16 εξηγησις μωρου ως εν οδω φορτιον επι δε χειλους συνετου ευρεθησεται χαρις |
| 17 They enquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congregation, and they shall ponder his words in their heart. | 17 στομα φρονιμου ζητηθησεται εν εκκλησια και τους λογους αυτου διανοηθησονται εν καρδια |
| 18 As is a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense. | 18 ως οικος ηφανισμενος ουτως μωρω σοφια και γνωσις ασυνετου αδιεξεταστοι λογοι |
| 19 Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand. | 19 πεδαι εν ποσιν ανοητου παιδεια και ως χειροπεδαι επι χειρος δεξιας |
| 20 A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter; but a wise man doth scarce smile a little. | 20 μωρος εν γελωτι ανυψοι φωνην αυτου ανηρ δε πανουργος μολις ησυχη μειδιασει |
| 21 Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm. | 21 ως κοσμος χρυσους φρονιμω παιδεια και ως χλιδων επι βραχιονι δεξιω |
| 22 A foolish man's foot is soon in his [neighbour's] house: but a man of experience is ashamed of him. | 22 πους μωρου ταχυς εις οικιαν ανθρωπος δε πολυπειρος αισχυνθησεται απο προσωπου |
| 23 A fool will peep in at the door into the house: but he that is well nurtured will stand without. | 23 αφρων απο θυρας παρακυπτει εις οικιαν ανηρ δε πεπαιδευμενος εξω στησεται |
| 24 It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door: but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace. | 24 απαιδευσια ανθρωπου ακροασθαι παρα θυραν ο δε φρονιμος βαρυνθησεται ατιμια |
| 25 The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them: but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance. | 25 χειλη αλλοτριων εν τουτοις διηγησονται λογοι δε φρονιμων εν ζυγω σταθησονται |
| 26 The heart of fools is in their mouth: but the mouth of the wise is in their heart. | 26 εν στοματι μωρων η καρδια αυτων καρδια δε σοφων στομα αυτων |
| 27 When the ungodly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul. | 27 εν τω καταρασθαι ασεβη τον σαταναν αυτος καταραται την εαυτου ψυχην |
| 28 A whisperer defileth his own soul, and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth. | 28 μολυνει την εαυτου ψυχην ο ψιθυριζων και εν παροικησει μισηθησεται |
