Proverbs 17

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

New Century Version NCV

1 It is better to eat a dry crust of bread in peace than to have a feast where there is quarreling.

2 A wise servant will rule over the master's disgraceful child and will even inherit a share of what the master leaves his children.

3 A hot furnace tests silver and gold, but the Lord tests hearts.

4 Evil people listen to evil words. Liars pay attention to cruel words.

5 Whoever mistreats the poor insults their Maker; whoever enjoys someone's trouble will be punished.

6 Old people are proud of their grandchildren, and children are proud of their parents.

7 Fools should not be proud, and rulers should not be liars.

8 Some people think they can pay others to do anything they ask. They think it will work every time.

9 Whoever forgives someone's sin makes a friend, but gossiping about the sin breaks up friendships.

10 A wise person will learn more from a warning than a fool will learn from a hundred lashings.

11 Disobedient people look only for trouble, so a cruel messenger will be sent against them.

12 It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than to meet a fool doing foolish things.

13 Whoever gives evil in return for good will always have trouble at home.

14 Starting a quarrel is like a leak in a dam, so stop it before a fight breaks out.

15 The Lord hates both of these things: freeing the guilty and punishing the innocent.

16 It won't do a fool any good to try to buy wisdom, because he doesn't have the ability to be wise.

17 A friend loves you all the time, and a brother helps in time of trouble.

18 It is not wise to promise to pay what your neighbor owes.

19 Whoever loves to argue loves to sin. Whoever brags a lot is asking for trouble.

20 A person with an evil heart will find no success, and the person whose words are evil will get into trouble.

21 It is sad to have a foolish child; there is no joy in being the parent of a fool.

22 A happy heart is like good medicine, but a broken spirit drains your strength.

23 When the wicked accept money to do wrong there can be no justice.

24 The person with understanding is always looking for wisdom, but the mind of a fool wanders everywhere.

25 A foolish son makes his father sad and causes his mother great sorrow.

26 It is not good to punish the innocent or to beat leaders for being honest.

27 The smart person says very little, and one with understanding stays calm.

28 Even fools seem to be wise if they keep quiet; if they don't speak, they appear to understand.
