New American Bible	Hrvatska Biblija
¹ Wisdom builds her house, but Folly tears hers down with her own hands.	¹ Ženska mudrost sagradi kuću, a ludost je rukama razgrađuje.
² He who walks uprightly fears the LORD, but he who is devious in his ways spurns him.	² Tko živi s poštenjem, boji se Jahve, a tko ide stranputicom, prezire ga.
³ In the mouth of the fool is a rod for his back, but the lips of the wise preserve them.	³ U luđakovim je ustima šiba za oholost njegovu, a mudre štite vlastite usne.
⁴ Where there are no oxen, the crib remains empty; but large crops come through the strength of the bull.	⁴ Gdje nema volova, prazne su jasle, a obilna je žetva od snage bikove.
⁵ A truthful witness does not lie, but a false witness utters lies.	⁵ Istinit svjedok ne laže, a krivi svjedok širi laž.
⁶ The senseless man seeks in vain for wisdom, but knowledge is easy to the man of intelligence.	⁶ Podsmjevač traži mudrost i ne nalazi je, a razumni lako dolazi do znanja.
⁷ To avoid the foolish man, take steps! But knowing lips one meets with by surprise.	⁷ Idi od čovjeka bezumna, jer nećeš upoznati usne što zbore znanje.
⁸ The shrewd man's wisdom gives him knowledge of his way, but the folly of fools is their deception.	⁸ Mudrost je pametna čovjeka u tom što pazi na svoj put, a bezumnička ludost prijevara je.
⁹ Guilt lodges in the tents of the arrogant, but favor in the house of the just.	⁹ Luđacima je grijeh šala, a milost je Božja s poštenima.
¹⁰ The heart knows its own bitterness, and in its joy no one else shares.	¹⁰ Srce poznaje svoj jad, i veselje njegovo ne može dijeliti nitko drugi.
¹¹ The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.	¹¹ Dom opakih propast će, a šator će pravednika procvasti.
¹² Sometimes a way seems right to a man, but the end of it leads to death!	¹² Neki se put učini čovjeku prav, a na koncu vodi k smrti.
¹³ Even in laughter the heart may be sad, and the end of joy may be sorrow.	¹³ I u smijehu srce osjeća bol, a poslije veselja dolazi tuga.
¹⁴ The scoundrel suffers the consequences of his ways, and the good man reaps the fruit of his paths.	¹⁴ Otpadnik se siti svojim prestupcima, a dobar čovjek svojim radom.
¹⁵ The simpleton believes everything, but the shrewd man measures his steps.	¹⁵ Glupan vjeruje svakoj riječi, a pametan pazi na korak svoj.
¹⁶ The wise man is cautious and shuns evil; the fool is reckless and sure of himself.	¹⁶ Mudar se boji i oda zla se uklanja, a bezuman se raspaljuje i bez straha je.
¹⁷ The quick-tempered man makes a fool of himself, but the prudent man is at peace.	¹⁷ Nagao čovjek čini ludosti, a razborit ih podnosi.
¹⁸ The adornment of simpletons is folly, but shrewd men gain the crown of knowledge.	¹⁸ Glupaci baštine ludost, a mudre ovjenčava znanje.
¹⁹ Evil men must bow down before the good, and the wicked, at the gates of the just.	¹⁹ Zli padaju ničice pred dobrima i opaki pred vratima pravednikovim.
²⁰ Even by his neighbor the poor man is hated, but the friends of the rich are many.	²⁰ I svom prijatelju mrzak je siromah, a bogataš ima mnogo ljubitelja.
²¹ He sins who despises the hungry; but happy is he who is kind to the poor!	²¹ Griješi tko prezire bližnjega svoga, a blago onomu tko je milostiv ubogima.
²² Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those intent on good gain kindness and constancy.	²² Koji snuju zlo, ne hode li stranputicom, a zar nisu dobrota i vjernost s onima koji snuju dobro?
²³ In all labor there is profit, but mere talk tends only to penury.	²³ U svakom trudu ima probitka, a pusto brbljanje samo je na siromaštvo.
²⁴ The crown of the wise is resourcefulness; the diadem of fools is folly.	²⁴ Mudrima je vijenac bogatstvo njihovo, a bezumnima kruna – njihova ludost.
²⁵ The truthful witness saves lives, but he who utters lies is a betrayer.	²⁵ Istinit svjedok izbavlja duše, a tko laži širi, taj je varalica.
²⁶ In the fear of the LORD is a strong defense; even for one's children he will be a refuge.	²⁶ U strahu je Gospodnjem veliko pouzdanje, i njegovim je sinovima utočište.
²⁷ The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, that a man may avoid the snares of death.	²⁷ Strah Gospodnji izvor je života: on izbavlja od zamke smrti.
²⁸ In many subjects lies the glory of the king; but if his people are few, it is the prince's ruin.	²⁸ Mnoštvo je naroda ponos kralju, a bez puka knez propada.
²⁹ The patient man shows much good sense, but the quick-tempered man displays folly at its height.	²⁹ Tko se teško srdi, velike je razboritosti, a nabusit duhom pokazuje ludost.
³⁰ A tranquil mind gives life to the body, but jealousy rots the bones.	³⁰ Mirno je srce život tijelu, ljubomor je gnjilež u kostima.
³¹ He who oppresses the poor blasphemes his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy glorifies him.	³¹ Tko tlači siromaha huli na stvoritelja, a časti ga tko je milostiv ubogomu.
³² The wicked man is overthrown by his wickedness, but the just man finds a refuge in his honesty.	³² Opaki propada zbog vlastite pakosti, a pravednik i u samoj smrti nalazi utočište.
³³ In the heart of the intelligent wisdom abides, but in the bosom of fools it is unknown.	³³ U razumnu srcu mudrost počiva, a što je u bezumnome, to se i pokaže.
³⁴ Virtue exalts a nation, but sin is a people's disgrace.	³⁴ Pravednost uzvisuje narod, a grijeh je sramota pucima.
³⁵ The king favors the intelligent servant, but the worthless one incurs his wrath.	³⁵ Kralju je mio razborit sluga, a na sramotna se srdi.
