Proverbs 17

English Standard Version ESV

1 Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.

2 A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who acts shamefully and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.

3 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the Lord tests hearts.

4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

5 Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.

6 Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.

7 Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince.

8 A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.

9 Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.

10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion, and a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool in his folly.

13 If anyone returns evil for good, evil will not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out.

15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.

16 Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who makes his door high seeks destruction.

20 A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.

21 He who sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.

22 A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

23 The wicked accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the ways of justice.

24 The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him.

26 To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

27 Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

28 Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 melior est buccella sicca cum gaudio quam domus plena victimis cum iurgio

2 servus sapiens dominabitur filiis stultis et inter fratres hereditatem dividet

3 sicut igne probatur argentum et aurum camino ita corda probat Dominus

4 malus oboedit linguae iniquae et fallax obtemperat labiis mendacibus

5 qui despicit pauperem exprobrat factori eius et qui in ruina laetatur alterius non erit inpunitus

6 corona senum filii filiorum et gloria filiorum patres sui

7 non decent stultum verba conposita nec principem labium mentiens

8 gemma gratissima expectatio praestolantis quocumque se verterit prudenter intellegit

9 qui celat delictum quaerit amicitias qui altero sermone repetit separat foederatos

10 plus proficit correptio apud prudentem quam centum plagae apud stultum

11 semper iurgia quaerit malus angelus autem crudelis mittetur contra eum

12 expedit magis ursae occurrere raptis fetibus quam fatuo confidenti sibi in stultitia sua

13 qui reddit mala pro bonis non recedet malum de domo eius

14 qui dimittit aquam caput est iurgiorum et antequam patiatur contumeliam iudicium deserit

15 et qui iustificat impium et qui condemnat iustum abominabilis est uterque apud Dominum

16 quid prodest habere divitias stultum cum sapientiam emere non possit

17 omni tempore diligit qui amicus est et frater in angustiis conprobatur

18 homo stultus plaudet manibus cum spoponderit pro amico suo

19 qui meditatur discordiam diligit rixas et qui exaltat ostium quaerit ruinam

20 qui perversi cordis est non inveniet bonum et qui vertit linguam incidet in malum

21 natus est stultus in ignominiam suam sed nec pater in fatuo laetabitur

22 animus gaudens aetatem floridam facit spiritus tristis exsiccat ossa

23 munera de sinu impius accipit ut pervertat semitas iudicii

24 in facie prudentis lucet sapientia oculi stultorum in finibus terrae

25 ira patris filius stultus et dolor matris quae genuit eum

26 non est bonum damnum inferre iusto nec percutere principem qui recta iudicat

27 qui moderatur sermones suos doctus et prudens est et pretiosi spiritus vir eruditus

28 stultus quoque si tacuerit sapiens putabitur et si conpresserit labia sua intellegens
