Proverbs 13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 A wise son hears his father's instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.	1 Filius sapiens disciplina patris; qui autem illusor est, non audit, cum arguitur.
2 From the fruit of his mouth a good man eats good, but the desire of the treacherous is for violence.	2 De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis, anima autem praevaricatorum violentia.
3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.	3 Qui custodit os suum, custodit animam suam; qui autem incautus est eloquio, ruina est ei.
4 The soul of the sluggard craves, and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.	4 Vult et non habet piger, anima autem operantium impinguabitur.
5 A righteous man hates falsehood, but a wicked man acts shamefully and disgracefully.	5 Verbum mendax iustus detestabitur, impius autem confundit et dehonestat.
6 Righteousness guards him whose way is upright, but sin overthrows the wicked.	6 Iustitia custodit innocentem in via, impietas autem peccatorem supplantat.
7 One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.	7 Est qui quasi dives habetur, cum nihil habeat; et est qui quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit.
8 The ransom of a man's life is his wealth, but a poor man has no means of redemption.	8 Redemptio animae viri divitiae suae; qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet.
9 The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.	9 Lux iustorum laetificat, lucerna autem impiorum exstinguetur.
10 By insolence the heedless make strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom.	10 Inter superbos tantum iurgia sunt, et apud humiles sapientia.
11 Wealth hastily gotten will dwindle, but he who gathers little by little will increase it.	11 Substantia festinata minuetur; qui autem colligit manu, multiplicat.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.	12 Spes, quae differtur, affligit animam, lignum vitae desiderium veniens.
13 He who despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who respects the commandment will be rewarded.	13 Qui contemnit verbum, ipse se obligat; qui autem timet praeceptum, retribuetur ei.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death.	14 Lex sapientis fons vitae, ut declinet a laqueis mortis.
15 Good sense wins favor, but the way of the faithless is their ruin.	15 Intellegentia bona dabit gratiam, in itinere infidelium vorago.
16 In everything a prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.	16 Omnis astutus agit cum consilio; qui autem fatuus est, aperit stultitiam.
17 A bad messenger plunges men into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing.	17 Nuntius impius cadet in malum, legatus autem fidelis sanitas.
18 Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction, but he who heeds reproof is honored.	18 Egestas et ignominia ei, qui deserit disciplinam; qui autem acquiescit arguenti, glorificabitur.
19 A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul; but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.	19 Desiderium, si compleatur, delectat animam; detestantur stulti fugere mala.
20 He who walks with wise men becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.	20 Qui cum sapientibus graditur, sapiens erit; amicus stultorum malus efficietur.
21 Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.	21 Peccatores persequitur malum, et iustis retribuentur bona.
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.	22 Bonus relinquit heredes filios et nepotes; et custoditur iusto substantia peccatoris.
23 The fallow ground of the poor yields much food, but it is swept away through injustice.	23 Multi cibi in novalibus pauperum, et est qui perit, deficiente iudicio.
24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.	24 Qui parcit virgae, odit filium suum; qui autem diligit illum, instanter erudit.
25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, but the belly of the wicked suffers want.	25 Iustus comedit et replet animam suam, venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.
