Proverbs 18

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, unless his heart may discover itself.

3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt; and with ignominy, reproach.

4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for blows.

7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

9 He that is slothful in his work is a brother to him that is a great waster.

10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it and is safe.

11 The rich man's wealth is his stronghold, and as a high wall in his own conceit.

12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honor is humility.

13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit, who can bear?

15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

16 A man's gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men.

17 He that first states his own cause seemeth just, but then his neighbor cometh and searcheth him.

18 Casting lots causeth contentions to cease, and parteth the strife of the mighty.

19 An offended brother is harder to be won back than a stronghold city, and his contentions are like the bars of a castle.

20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the harvest of his lips shall he be filled.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

22 Whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth the favor of the LORD.

23 The poor useth entreaties, but the rich answereth roughly.

24 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly, and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 occasiones quaerit qui vult recedere ab amico omni tempore erit exprobrabilis

2 non recipit stultus verba prudentiae nisi ea dixeris quae versantur in corde eius

3 impius cum in profundum venerit peccatorum contemnit sed sequitur eum ignominia et obprobrium

4 aqua profunda verba ex ore viri et torrens redundans fons sapientiae

5 accipere personam impii non est bonum ut declines a veritate iudicii

6 labia stulti inmiscunt se rixis et os eius iurgia provocat

7 os stulti contritio eius et labia illius ruina animae eius

8 verba bilinguis quasi simplicia et ipsa perveniunt usque ad interiora ventris

9 qui mollis et dissolutus est in opere suo frater est sua opera dissipantis

10 turris fortissima nomen Domini ad ipsum currit iustus et exaltabitur

11 substantia divitis urbs roboris eius et quasi murus validus circumdans eum

12 antequam conteratur exaltatur cor hominis et antequam glorificetur humiliatur

13 qui prius respondit quam audiat stultum se esse demonstrat et confusione dignum

14 spiritus viri sustentat inbecillitatem suam spiritum vero ad irascendum facilem quis poterit sustinere

15 cor prudens possidebit scientiam et auris sapientium quaerit doctrinam

16 donum hominis dilatat viam eius et ante principes spatium ei facit

17 iustus prior est accusator sui venit amicus eius et investigavit eum

18 contradictiones conprimit sors et inter potentes quoque diiudicat

19 frater qui adiuvatur a fratre quasi civitas firma et iudicia quasi vectes urbium

20 de fructu oris viri replebitur venter eius et genimina labiorum illius saturabunt eum

21 mors et vita in manu linguae qui diligunt eam comedent fructus eius

22 qui invenit mulierem invenit bonum et hauriet iucunditatem a Domino

23 cum obsecrationibus loquetur pauper et dives effabitur rigide

24 vir amicalis ad societatem magis amicus erit quam frater
