Bibbia Vulgata Clementina Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Sicut divisiones aquarum, ita cor regis in manu Domini :
quocumque voluerit, inclinabit illud.
1 The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.
2 Omnis via viri recta sibi videtur :
appendit autem corda Dominus.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.
3 Facere misericordiam et judicium
magis placet Domino quam victimæ.
3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

9 Melius est sedere in angulo domatis,
quam cum muliere litigiosa, et in domo communi.
9 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
10 Anima impii desiderat malum :
non miserebitur proximo suo.
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
11 Mulctato pestilente, sapientior erit parvulus,
et si sectetur sapientem, sumet scientiam.
11 When a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.
12 Excogitat justus de domo impii,
ut detrahat impios a malo.
12 The righteous observes the house of the wicked; the wicked are cast down to ruin.
13 Qui obturat aurem suam ad clamorem pauperis,
et ipse clamabit, et non exaudietur.
13 He who closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself cry out and not be heard.
14 Munus absconditum extinguit iras,
et donum in sinu indignationem maximam.
14 A gift in secret averts anger; and a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
15 Gaudium justo est facere judicium,
et pavor operantibus iniquitatem.
15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous, but dismay to evildoers.
16 Vir qui erraverit a via doctrinæ
in cœtu gigantum commorabitur.
16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead.

et pro rectis iniquus.

quam cum muliere rixosa et iracunda.

et imprudens homo dissipabit illud.

inveniet vitam, justitiam, et gloriam.

et destruxit robur fiduciæ ejus.

custodit ab angustiis animam suam.

Dominus autem salutem tribuit.		31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.
