Proverbs 21

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 sicut divisiones aquarum ita cor regis in manu Domini quocumque voluerit inclinabit illud

2 omnis via viri recta sibi videtur adpendit autem corda Dominus

3 facere misericordiam et iudicium magis placent Domino quam victimae

4 exaltatio oculorum et dilatatio cordis lucerna impiorum peccatum

5 cogitationes robusti semper in abundantia omnis autem piger semper in egestate

6 qui congregat thesauros lingua mendacii vanus est et inpingetur ad laqueos mortis

7 rapinae impiorum detrahent eos quia noluerunt facere iudicium

8 perversa via viri aliena est qui autem mundus est rectum opus eius

9 melius est sedere in angulo domatis quam cum muliere litigiosa et in domo communi

10 anima impii desiderat malum non miserebitur proximo suo

11 multato pestilente sapientior erit parvulus et si sectetur sapientem sumet scientiam

12 excogitat iustus de domo impii ut detrahat impios in malum

13 qui obturat aurem suam ad clamorem pauperis et ipse clamabit et non exaudietur

14 munus absconditum extinguet iras et donum in sinu indignationem maximam

15 gaudium iusto est facere iudicium et pavor operantibus iniquitatem

16 vir qui erraverit a via doctrinae in coetu gigantum commorabitur

17 qui diligit epulas in egestate erit qui amat vinum et pinguia non ditabitur

18 pro iusto datur impius et pro rectis iniquus

19 melius est habitare in terra deserta quam cum muliere rixosa et iracunda

20 thesaurus desiderabilis et oleum in habitaculo iusti et inprudens homo dissipabit illud

21 qui sequitur iustitiam et misericordiam inveniet vitam et iustitiam et gloriam

22 civitatem fortium ascendit sapiens et destruxit robur fiduciae eius

23 qui custodit os suum et linguam suam custodit ab angustiis animam suam

24 superbus et arrogans vocatur indoctus qui in ira operatur superbiam

25 desideria occidunt pigrum noluerunt enim quicquam manus eius operari

26 tota die concupiscit et desiderat qui autem iustus est tribuet et non cessabit

27 hostiae impiorum abominabiles quia offeruntur ex scelere

28 testis mendax peribit vir oboediens loquitur victoriam

29 vir impius procaciter obfirmat vultum suum qui autem rectus est corrigit viam suam

30 non est sapientia non est prudentia non est consilium contra Dominum

31 equus paratur ad diem belli Dominus autem salutem tribuet

English Standard Version ESV

1 The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.

3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin.

5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.

6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.

7 The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just.

8 The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.

9 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

11 When a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.

12 The Righteous One observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin.

13 Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.

14 A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe, strong wrath.

15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.

16 One who wanders from the way of good sense will rest in the assembly of the dead.

17 Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.

19 It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

20 Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man’s dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.

21 Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.

22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.

24 “Scoffer” is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.

25 The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

26 All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with evil intent.

28 A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure.

29 A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright gives thought to his ways.

30 No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the Lord.

31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.
