Proverbs 22

The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA

1 melius est nomen bonum quam divitiae multae super argentum et aurum gratia bona

2 dives et pauper obviaverunt sibi utriusque operator est Dominus

3 callidus vidit malum et abscondit se innocens pertransiit et adflictus est damno

4 finis modestiae timor Domini divitiae et gloria et vita

5 arma et gladii in via perversi custos animae suae longe recedit ab eis

6 proverbium est adulescens iuxta viam suam etiam cum senuerit non recedet ab ea

7 dives pauperibus imperat et qui accipit mutuum servus est fenerantis

8 qui seminat iniquitatem metet mala et virga irae suae consummabitur

9 qui pronus est ad misericordiam benedicetur de panibus enim suis dedit pauperi

10 eice derisorem et exibit cum eo iurgium cessabuntque causae et contumeliae

11 qui diligit cordis munditiam propter gratiam labiorum suorum habebit amicum regem

12 oculi Domini custodiunt scientiam et subplantantur verba iniqui

13 dicit piger leo foris in medio platearum occidendus sum

14 fovea profunda os alienae cui iratus est Dominus incidet in eam

15 stultitia conligata est in corde pueri et virga disciplinae fugabit eam

16 qui calumniatur pauperem ut augeat divitias suas dabit ipse ditiori et egebit

17 inclina aurem tuam et audi verba sapientium adpone autem cor ad doctrinam meam

18 quae pulchra erit tibi cum servaveris eam in ventre tuo et redundabit in labiis tuis

19 ut sit in Domino fiducia tua unde et ostendi eam tibi hodie

20 ecce descripsi eam tibi tripliciter in cogitationibus et scientia

21 ut ostenderem tibi firmitatem et eloquia veritatis respondere ex his illi qui misit te

22 non facias violentiam pauperi quia pauper est neque conteras egenum in porta

23 quia Dominus iudicabit causam eius et configet eos qui confixerint animam eius

24 noli esse amicus homini iracundo neque ambules cum viro furioso

25 ne forte discas semitas eius et sumas scandalum animae tuae

26 noli esse cum his qui defigunt manus suas et qui vades se offerunt pro debitis

27 si enim non habes unde restituas quid causae est ut tollat operimentum de cubili tuo

28 ne transgrediaris terminos antiquos quos posuerunt patres tui

29 vidisti virum velocem in opere suo coram regibus stabit nec erit ante ignobiles

New International Version NIV

1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

2 Rich and poor have this in common: The LORD is the Maker of them all.

3 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

4 Humility is the fear of the LORD; its wages are riches and honor and life.

5 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls, but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.

6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.

8 Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity, and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.

9 The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.

10 Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended.

11 One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.

12 The eyes of the LORD keep watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.

13 The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the public square!”

14 The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit; a man who is under the LORD’s wrath falls into it.

15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.

16 One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

17 Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach,

18 for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips.

19 So that your trust may be in the LORD, I teach you today, even you.

20 Have I not written thirty sayings for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge,

21 teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth, so that you bring back truthful reports to those you serve?

22 Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court,

23 for the LORD will take up their case and will exact life for life.

24 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered,

25 or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared.

26 Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts;

27 if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.

28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors.

29 Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.
