New American Bible	Hrvatska Biblija
¹ Like snow in summer, or rain in harvest, honor for a fool is out of place.	¹ Kao snijeg ljeti ili kiša o žetvi, tako pristaju počasti bezumnomu.
² Like the sparrow in its flitting, like the swallow in its flight, a curse uncalled-for arrives nowhere.	² Kao vrabac kad prhne i lastavica kad odleti, tako se i bezrazložna kletva ne ispunjava.
³ The whip for the horse, the bridle for the ass, and the rod for the back of fools.	³ Bič konju, uzda magarcu, a šiba leđima bezumnika.
⁴ Answer not the fool according to his folly, lest you too become like him.	⁴ Ne odgovaraj bezumniku po njegovoj ludosti, da mu i sam ne postaneš jednak.
⁵ Answer the fool according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes.	⁵ Odgovori bezumniku po ludosti njegovoj, da se ne bi učinio sam sebi mudar.
⁶ He cuts off his feet, he drinks down violence, who sends messages by a fool.	⁶ Odsijeca noge sebi i gorčinu pije tko po bezumnom poruke šalje.
⁷ A proverb in the mouth of a fool hangs limp, like crippled legs.	⁷ Klecava bedra u hromoga – mudra je izreka u ustima bezumničkim.
⁸ Like one who entangles the stone in the sling is he who gives honor to a fool.	⁸ Kamen za praćku vezuje tko bezumnom iskazuje čast.
⁹ Like a thorn stick brandished by the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of fools.	⁹ Trnovita grana u ruci pijanice: mudra izreka u ustima bezumnika.
¹⁰ Like an archer wounding all who pass by is he who hires a drunken fool.	¹⁰ Strijelac koji ranjava sve prolaznike: takav je onaj tko unajmljuje bezumnika.
¹¹ As the dog returns to his vomit, so the fool repeats his folly.	¹¹ Bezumnik se vraća svojoj ludosti kao što se pas vraća na svoju bljuvotinu.
¹² You see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.	¹² Vidiš li čovjeka koji se sam sebi mudrim čini? Znaj, i od bezumnika ima više nade nego od njega!
¹³ The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the street, a lion in the middle of the square!"	¹³ Lijenčina veli: »Zvijer je na putu, i lav je na ulicama.«
¹⁴ The door turns on its hinges, the sluggard, on his bed!	¹⁴ Kao što se vrata okreću na stožerima svojim, tako i lijenčina na postelji svojoj.
¹⁵ The sluggard loses his hand in the dish; he is too weary to lift it to his mouth.	¹⁵ Lijenčina umače ruku u zdjelu, ali je ne može prinijeti ustima.
¹⁶ The sluggard imagines himself wiser than seven men who answer with good sense.	¹⁶ Lijenčina se čini sebi mudrijim od sedmorice koji umno odgovaraju.
¹⁷ Like the man who seizes a passing dog by the ears is he who meddles in a quarrel not his own.	¹⁷ Psa za uši hvata tko se, u prolazu, umiješa u raspru koja ga se ne tiče.
¹⁸ Like a crazed archer scattering firebrands and deadly arrows	¹⁸ Kao bjesomučnik koji baca zublje, strelice i sije smrt,
¹⁹ Is the man who deceives his neighbor, and then says, "I was only joking."	¹⁹ takav je čovjek koji vara bližnjega svoga i veli: »Samo se našalih.«
²⁰ For lack of wood, the fire dies out; and when there is no talebearer, strife subsides.	²⁰ Kad nestane drva, oganj se gasi, i kad više nema klevetnika, prestaje svađa.
²¹ What a bellows is to live coals, what wood is to fire, such is a contentious man in enkindling strife.	²¹ Ugljen je za žeravicu i drvo za oganj, a svadljivac da raspaljuje svađu.
²² The words of a talebearer are like dainty morsels that sink into one's inmost being.	²² Klevetnikove su riječi kao slastice: spuštaju se u dno utrobe.
²³ Like a glazed finish on earthenware are smooth lips with a wicked heart.	²³ Srebrna gleđa preko zemljana suđa: laskave usne i opako srce.
²⁴ With his lips an enemy pretends, but in his inmost being he maintains deceit;	²⁴ Mrzitelj hini usnama svojim, a u sebi nosi prijevaru;
²⁵ When he speaks graciously, trust him not, for seven abominations are in his heart.	²⁵ ne vjeruj mu kad ljupkim glasom govori, jer u srcu mu je sedam grdila;
²⁶ A man may conceal hatred under dissimulation, but his malice will be revealed in the assembly.	²⁶ ako himbom skriva mržnju, njegova će se opačina otkriti na zboru.
²⁷ He who digs a pit falls into it; and a stone comes back upon him who rolls it.	²⁷ Tko jamu kopa, sam u nju pada, i tko kamen valja, na njega se prevaljuje.
²⁸ The lying tongue is its owner's enemy, and the flattering mouth works ruin.	²⁸ Lažljiv jezik mrzi svoje žrtve, laskava usta propast spremaju.
