Proverbs 29

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.	1 Vir, qui correptiones dura cervice contemnit, subito conteretur absque sanatione.
2 When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.	2 In multiplicatione iustorum laetabitur vulgus; et in dominatione impii gemet populus.
3 A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.	3 Vir, qui amat sapientiam, laetificat patrem suum; qui autem nutrit scorta, perdet substantiam.
4 A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.	4 Rex in iustitia erigit terram; vir acceptor donorum destruet eam.
5 A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet.	5 Homo, qui blanditur amico suo, rete expandit gressibus eius.
6 A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice.	6 In peccato vir iniquus irretitur laqueo, et iustus exsultabit atque gaudebit.
7 The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge.	7 Novit iustus causam pauperum, impius ignorat scientiam.
8 Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath.	8 Homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem; sapientes vero avertunt furorem.
9 If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest.	9 Vir sapiens, si cum stulto iudicio contenderit, sive irascatur sive rideat, non inveniet requiem.
10 Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul.	10 Viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem; iusti autem quaerunt animam eius.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.	11 Totum spiritum suum profert stultus; sapiens mitigat eum in posterum.
12 A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.	12 Princeps, qui libenter audit verba mendacii, omnes ministros habet impios.
13 The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.	13 Pauper et oppressor obviaverunt sibi, utriusque oculorum illuminator est Dominus.
14 The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.	14 Rex, qui iudicat in veritate pauperes, thronus eius in aeternum firmabitur.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.	15 Virga atque correptio tribuit sapientiam; puer autem, qui dimittitur voluntati suae, confundit matrem suam.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.	16 In multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera, et iusti ruinas eorum videbunt.
17 Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.	17 Erudi filium tuum, et refrigerabit te et dabit delicias animae tuae.
18 When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.	18 Cum visio defecerit, dissipabitur populus; qui vero custodit legem, beatus est.
19 A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.	19 Servus verbis non potest erudiri, quia intellegit et respondere contemnit.
20 Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.	20 Vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum? Magis illo spem habebit insipiens.
21 He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.	21 Qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum, postea sentiet eum contumacem.
22 A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.	22 Vir iracundus provocat rixas; et, qui ad indignandum facilis est, erit ad peccandum proclivior.
23 Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.	23 Superbia hominis humiliabit eum, et humilis spiritu suscipiet gloriam.
24 He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.	24 Qui cum fure participat, odit animam suam; adiuramentum audit et non indicat.
25 He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.	25 Timor hominis inducit laqueum; qui sperat in Domino, sublevabitur.
26 Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord.	26 Multi requirunt faciem principis; et iudicium a Domino egreditur singulorum.
27 The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction.	27 Abominantur iusti virum impium; et abominantur impii eos, qui recta sunt via.
