| 1 Like a stream is the king's heart in the hand of the LORD; wherever it pleases him, he directs it. | 1 El corazón del rey es una acequia | que el Señor canaliza adonde quiere. |
| 2 All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes, but it is the LORD who proves hearts. | 2 El hombre juzga recto su camino, | pero el Señor pesa los corazones. |

| 11 When the arrogant man is punished, the simple are the wiser; when the wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge. | 11 Castigas al cínico y aprende el inexperto, | pero el sabio aprende oyendo la lección. |
| 12 The just man appraises the house of the wicked: there is one who brings down the wicked to ruin. | 12 El honrado observa la casa del malvado | y ve cómo se hunde en la desgracia. |
| 13 He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will himself also call and not be heard. | 13 Quien cierra los oídos al clamor del pobre | no será escuchado cuando grite. |
| 14 A secret gift allays anger, and a concealed present, violent wrath. | 14 Regalo a escondidas calma la ira; | obsequio discreto, el furor violento. |
| 15 To practice justice is a joy for the just, but terror for evildoers. | 15 Al justo le alegra la justicia; | en cambio, al culpable le aterroriza. |
| 16 The man who strays from the way of good sense will abide in the assembly of the shades. | 16 Quien deja el camino de la prudencia | habitará en compañía de los muertos. |
| 17 He who loves pleasure will suffer want; he who loves wine and perfume will not be rich. | 17 Quien ama el placer acaba en la miseria, | amigo de vino y perfumes no prospera. |
| 18 The wicked man serves as ransom for the just, and the faithless man for the righteous. | 18 El malvado pagará por el justo; | el impío, por el hombre honrado. |
| 19 It is better to dwell in a wilderness than with a quarrelsome and vexatious wife. | 19 Mejor vivir en desierto | que con mujer pendenciera e irritable. |

| 21 He who pursues justice and kindness will find life and honor. | 21 Quien busca justicia y bondad | encontrará vida y gloria. |
| 22 The wise man storms a city of the mighty, and overthrows the stronghold in which it trusts. | 22 El sabio asaltará la ciudad de los fuertes, | derribará la fortaleza en que confiaban. |
| 23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from trouble. | 23 Quien guarda la boca y la lengua | se guarda también de peligros. |

| 27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, the more so when they offer it with a bad intention. | 27 Sacrificio de malvados es odioso, | mucho más si hay mala intención. |
