Proverbs 15

The Message Bible MSG

1 A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.

2 Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise; fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense.

3 God doesn't miss a thing - he's alert to good and evil alike.

4 Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim.

5 Moral dropouts won't listen to their elders; welcoming correction is a mark of good sense.

6 The lives of God-loyal people flourish; a misspent life is soon bankrupt.

7 Perceptive words spread knowledge; fools are hollow - there's nothing to them.

8 God can't stand pious poses, but he delights in genuine prayers.

9 A life frittered away disgusts God; he loves those who run straight for the finish line.

10 It's a school of hard knocks for those who leave God's path, a dead-end street for those who hate God's rules.

11 Even hell holds no secrets from God - do you think he can't read human hearts? Life Ascends to the Heights

12 Know-it-alls don't like being told what to do; they avoid the company of wise men and women.

13 A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face; a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day.

14 An intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth; fools feed on fast-food fads and fancies.

15 A miserable heart means a miserable life; a cheerful heart fills the day with song.

16 A simple life in the Fear-of-God is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.

17 Better a bread crust shared in love than a slab of prime rib served in hate.

18 Hot tempers start fights; a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace.

19 The path of lazy people is overgrown with briers; the diligent walk down a smooth road.

20 Intelligent children make their parents proud; lazy students embarrass their parents.

21 The empty-headed treat life as a plaything; the perceptive grasp its meaning and make a go of it.

22 Refuse good advice and watch your plans fail; take good counsel and watch them succeed.

23 Congenial conversation - what a pleasure! The right word at the right time - beautiful!

24 Life ascends to the heights for the thoughtful - it's a clean about-face from descent into hell.

25 God smashes the pretensions of the arrogant; he stands with those who have no standing.

26 God can't stand evil scheming, but he puts words of grace and beauty on display.

27 A greedy and grasping person destroys community; those who refuse to exploit live and let live.

28 Prayerful answers come from God-loyal people; the wicked are sewers of abuse.

29 God keeps his distance from the wicked; he closely attends to the prayers of God-loyal people.

30 A twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart, and good news makes you feel fit as a fiddle.

31 Listen to good advice if you want to live well, an honored guest among wise men and women.

32 An undisciplined, self-willed life is puny; an obedient, God-willed life is spacious.

33 Fear-of-God is a school in skilled living - first you learn humility, then you experience glory.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 responsio mollis frangit iram sermo durus suscitat furorem

2 lingua sapientium ornat scientiam os fatuorum ebullit stultitiam

3 in omni loco oculi Domini contemplantur malos et bonos

4 lingua placabilis lignum vitae quae inmoderata est conteret spiritum

5 stultus inridet disciplinam patris sui qui autem custodit increpationes astutior fiet

6 domus iusti plurima fortitudo et in fructibus impii conturbatur

7 labia sapientium disseminabunt scientiam cor stultorum dissimile erit

8 victimae impiorum abominabiles Domino vota iustorum placabilia

9 abominatio est Domino via impii qui sequitur iustitiam diligetur ab eo

10 doctrina mala deserenti viam qui increpationes odit morietur

11 infernus et perditio coram Domino quanto magis corda filiorum hominum

12 non amat pestilens eum qui se corripit nec ad sapientes graditur

13 cor gaudens exhilarat faciem in maerore animi deicitur spiritus

14 cor sapientis quaerit doctrinam et os stultorum pascetur inperitia

15 omnes dies pauperis mali secura mens quasi iuge convivium

16 melius est parum cum timore Domini quam thesauri magni et insatiabiles

17 melius est vocare ad holera cum caritate quam ad vitulum saginatum cum odio

18 vir iracundus provocat rixas qui patiens est mitigat suscitatas

19 iter pigrorum quasi sepes spinarum via iustorum absque offendiculo

20 filius sapiens laetificat patrem et stultus homo despicit matrem suam

21 stultitia gaudium stulto et vir prudens dirigit gressus

22 dissipantur cogitationes ubi non est consilium ubi vero plures sunt consiliarii confirmantur

23 laetatur homo in sententia oris sui et sermo oportunus est optimus

24 semita vitae super eruditum ut declinet de inferno novissimo

25 domum superborum demolietur Dominus et firmos facit terminos viduae

26 abominatio Domini cogitationes malae et purus sermo pulcherrimus

27 conturbat domum suam qui sectatur avaritiam qui autem odit munera vivet

28 mens iusti meditatur oboedientiam os impiorum redundat malis

29 longe est Dominus ab impiis et orationes iustorum exaudiet

30 lux oculorum laetificat animam fama bona inpinguat ossa

31 auris quae audit increpationes vitae in medio sapientium commorabitur

32 qui abicit disciplinam despicit animam suam qui adquiescit increpationibus possessor est cordis

33 timor Domini disciplina sapientiae et gloriam praecedit humilitas
