Proverbs 20

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 luxuriosa res vinum et tumultuosa ebrietas quicumque his delectatur non erit sapiens

2 sicut rugitus leonis ita terror regis qui provocat eum peccat in animam suam

3 honor est homini qui separat se a contentionibus omnes autem stulti miscentur contumeliis

4 propter frigus piger arare noluit mendicabit ergo aestate et non dabitur ei

5 sicut aqua profunda sic consilium in corde viri sed homo sapiens exhauriet illud

6 multi homines misericordes vocantur virum autem fidelem quis inveniet

7 iustus qui ambulat in simplicitate sua beatos post se filios derelinquet

8 rex qui sedet in solio iudicii dissipat omne malum intuitu suo

9 quis potest dicere mundum est cor meum purus sum a peccato

10 pondus et pondus mensura et mensura utrumque abominabile est apud Deum

11 ex studiis suis intellegitur puer si munda et si recta sint opera eius

12 aurem audientem et oculum videntem Dominus fecit utrumque

13 noli diligere somnum ne te egestas opprimat aperi oculos tuos et saturare panibus

14 malum est malum est dicit omnis emptor et cum recesserit tunc gloriabitur

15 est aurum et multitudo gemmarum vas autem pretiosum labia scientiae

16 tolle vestimentum eius qui fideiussor extitit alieni et pro extraneis aufer pignus ab eo

17 suavis est homini panis mendacii et postea implebitur os eius calculo

18 cogitationes consiliis roborantur et gubernaculis tractanda sunt bella

19 ei qui revelat mysteria et ambulat fraudulenter et dilatat labia sua ne commiscearis

20 qui maledicit patri suo et matri extinguetur lucerna eius in mediis tenebris

21 hereditas ad quam festinatur in principio in novissimo benedictione carebit

22 ne dicas reddam malum expecta Dominum et liberabit te

23 abominatio est apud Deum pondus et pondus statera dolosa non est bona

24 a Domino diriguntur gressus viri quis autem hominum intellegere potest viam suam

25 ruina est hominis devorare sanctos et post vota tractare

26 dissipat impios rex sapiens et curvat super eos fornicem

27 lucerna Domini spiraculum hominis quae investigat omnia secreta ventris

28 misericordia et veritas custodiunt regem et roboratur clementia thronus eius

29 exultatio iuvenum fortitudo eorum et dignitas senum canities

30 livor vulneris absterget mala et plagae in secretioribus ventris

New International Version NIV

1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

2 A king’s wrath strikes terror like the roar of a lion; those who anger him forfeit their lives.

3 It is to one’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.

4 Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing.

5 The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.

6 Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find?

7 The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.

8 When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes.

9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin”?

10 Differing weights and differing measures— the LORD detests them both.

11 Even small children are known by their actions, so is their conduct really pure and upright?

12 Ears that hear and eyes that see— the LORD has made them both.

13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.

14 “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer— then goes off and boasts about the purchase.

15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.

16 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.

17 Food gained by fraud tastes sweet, but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel.

18 Plans are established by seeking advice; so if you wage war, obtain guidance.

19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid anyone who talks too much.

20 If someone curses their father or mother, their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.

21 An inheritance claimed too soon will not be blessed at the end.

22 Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!” Wait for the LORD, and he will avenge you.

23 The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.

24 A person’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand their own way?

25 It is a trap to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider one’s vows.

26 A wise king winnows out the wicked; he drives the threshing wheel over them.

27 The human spirit is the lamp of the LORD that sheds light on one’s inmost being.

28 Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure.

29 The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old.

30 Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being.
