| Vers | English: King James Version | Greek OT: LXX [A] Accented |
| 1 | A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. | ὀργὴ ἀπόλλυσιν καὶ φρονίμους ἀπόκρισις δὲ ὑποπίπτουσα ἀποστρέφει θυμόν λόγος δὲ λυπηρὸς ἐγείρει ὀργάς |
| 2 | The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. | γλῶσσα σοφῶν καλὰ ἐπίσταται στόμα δὲ ἀφρόνων ἀναγγελεῖ κακά |
| 3 | The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. | ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου σκοπεύουσιν κακούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς |
| 4 | A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. | ἴασις γλώσσης δένδρον ζωῆς ὁ δὲ συντηρῶν αὐτὴν πλησθήσεται πνεύματος |
| 5 | A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. | ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει παιδείαν πατρός ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐντολὰς πανουργότερος |
| 6 | In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. | ἐν πλεοναζούσῃ δικαιοσύνῃ ἰσχὺς πολλή οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὁλόρριζοι ἐκ γῆς ὀλοῦνται οἴκοις δικαίων ἰσχὺς πολλή καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολοῦνται |
| 7 | The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. | χείλη σοφῶν δέδεται αἰσθήσει καρδίαι δὲ ἀφρόνων οὐκ ἀσφαλεῖς |
| 8 | The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. | θυσίαι ἀσεβῶν βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ εὐχαὶ δὲ κατευθυνόντων δεκταὶ παρ' αὐτῷ |
| 9 | The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. | βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀσεβοῦς διώκοντας δὲ δικαιοσύνην ἀγαπᾷ |
| 10 | Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. | παιδεία ἀκάκου γνωρίζεται ὑπὸ τῶν παριόντων οἱ δὲ μισοῦντες ἐλέγχους τελευτῶσιν αἰσχρῶς |
| 11 | Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? | ᾅδης καὶ ἀπώλεια φανερὰ παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ αἱ καρδίαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων |
| 12 | A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise. | οὐκ ἀγαπήσει ἀπαίδευτος τοὺς ἐλέγχοντας αὐτόν μετὰ δὲ σοφῶν οὐχ ὁμιλήσει |
| 13 | A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. | καρδίας εὐφραινομένης πρόσωπον θάλλει ἐν δὲ λύπαις οὔσης σκυθρωπάζει |
| 14 | The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. | καρδία ὀρθὴ ζητεῖ αἴσθησιν στόμα δὲ ἀπαιδεύτων γνώσεται κακά |
| 15 | All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. | πάντα τὸν χρόνον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ τῶν κακῶν προσδέχονται κακά οἱ δὲ ἀγαθοὶ ἡσυχάζουσιν διὰ παντός |
| 16 | Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. | κρείσσων μικρὰ μερὶς μετὰ φόβου κυρίου ἢ θησαυροὶ μεγάλοι μετὰ ἀφοβίας |
| 17 | Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. | κρείσσων ξενισμὸς λαχάνων πρὸς φιλίαν καὶ χάριν ἢ παράθεσις μόσχων μετὰ ἔχθρας |
| 18 | A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. | ἀνὴρ θυμώδης παρασκευάζει μάχας μακρόθυμος δὲ καὶ τὴν μέλλουσαν καταπραΰνει |
| 19 | The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain. | ὁδοὶ ἀεργῶν ἐστρωμέναι ἀκάνθαις αἱ δὲ τῶν ἀνδρείων τετριμμέναι |
| 20 | A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. | υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει μητέρα αὐτοῦ |
| 21 | Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. | ἀνοήτου τρίβοι ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος κατευθύνων πορεύεται |
| 22 | Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellers they are established. | ὑπερτίθενται λογισμοὺς οἱ μὴ τιμῶντες συνέδρια ἐν δὲ καρδίαις βουλευομένων μένει βουλή |
| 23 | A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! | οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσῃ ὁ κακὸς αὐτῇ οὐδὲ μὴ εἴπῃ καίριόν τι καὶ καλὸν τῷ κοινῷ |
| 24 | The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. | ὁδοὶ ζωῆς διανοήματα συνετοῦ ἵνα ἐκκλίνας ἐκ τοῦ ᾅδου σωθῇ |
| 25 | The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. | οἴκους ὑβριστῶν κατασπᾷ κύριος ἐστήρισεν δὲ ὅριον χήρας |
| 26 | The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words. | βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ λογισμὸς ἄδικος ἁγνῶν δὲ ῥήσεις σεμναί |
| 27 | He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. | ἐξόλλυσιν ἑαυτὸν ὁ δωρολήμπτης ὁ δὲ μισῶν δώρων λήμψεις σῴζεται |
| 28 | The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. | καρδίαι δικαίων μελετῶσιν πίστεις στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποκρίνεται κακά |
| 29 | The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. | μακρὰν ἀπέχει ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ ἀσεβῶν εὐχαῖς δὲ δικαίων ἐπακούει |
| 30 | The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat. | θεωρῶν ὀφθαλμὸς καλὰ εὐφραίνει καρδίαν φήμη δὲ ἀγαθὴ πιαίνει ὀστᾶ |
| 31 | The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. | |
| 32 | He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. | ὃς ἀπωθεῖται παιδείαν μισεῖ ἑαυτόν ὁ δὲ τηρῶν ἐλέγχους ἀγαπᾷ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ |
| 33 | The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. | φόβος θεοῦ παιδεία καὶ σοφία καὶ ἀρχὴ δόξης ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτῇ |
| 18 | μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ κατασβέσει κρίσεις ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς ἐγείρει μᾶλλον | |
| 27 | ἐλεημοσύναις καὶ πίστεσιν ἀποκαθαίρονται ἁμαρτίαι τῷ δὲ φόβῳ κυρίου ἐκκλίνει πᾶς ἀπὸ κακοῦ | |
| 28 | δεκταὶ παρὰ κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀνθρώπων δικαίων διὰ δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ φίλοι γίνονται | |
| 29 | κρείσσων ὀλίγη λῆμψις μετὰ δικαιοσύνης ἢ πολλὰ γενήματα μετὰ ἀδικίας | |
| 29 | καρδία ἀνδρὸς λογιζέσθω δίκαια ἵνα ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ διορθωθῇ τὰ διαβήματα αὐτοῦ |
