Proverbs 22

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 melius est nomen bonum quam divitiae multae super argentum et aurum gratia bona

2 dives et pauper obviaverunt sibi utriusque operator est Dominus

3 callidus vidit malum et abscondit se innocens pertransiit et adflictus est damno

4 finis modestiae timor Domini divitiae et gloria et vita

5 arma et gladii in via perversi custos animae suae longe recedit ab eis

6 proverbium est adulescens iuxta viam suam etiam cum senuerit non recedet ab ea

7 dives pauperibus imperat et qui accipit mutuum servus est fenerantis

8 qui seminat iniquitatem metet mala et virga irae suae consummabitur

9 qui pronus est ad misericordiam benedicetur de panibus enim suis dedit pauperi

10 eice derisorem et exibit cum eo iurgium cessabuntque causae et contumeliae

11 qui diligit cordis munditiam propter gratiam labiorum suorum habebit amicum regem

12 oculi Domini custodiunt scientiam et subplantantur verba iniqui

13 dicit piger leo foris in medio platearum occidendus sum

14 fovea profunda os alienae cui iratus est Dominus incidet in eam

15 stultitia conligata est in corde pueri et virga disciplinae fugabit eam

16 qui calumniatur pauperem ut augeat divitias suas dabit ipse ditiori et egebit

17 inclina aurem tuam et audi verba sapientium adpone autem cor ad doctrinam meam

18 quae pulchra erit tibi cum servaveris eam in ventre tuo et redundabit in labiis tuis

19 ut sit in Domino fiducia tua unde et ostendi eam tibi hodie

20 ecce descripsi eam tibi tripliciter in cogitationibus et scientia

21 ut ostenderem tibi firmitatem et eloquia veritatis respondere ex his illi qui misit te

22 non facias violentiam pauperi quia pauper est neque conteras egenum in porta

23 quia Dominus iudicabit causam eius et configet eos qui confixerint animam eius

24 noli esse amicus homini iracundo neque ambules cum viro furioso

25 ne forte discas semitas eius et sumas scandalum animae tuae

26 noli esse cum his qui defigunt manus suas et qui vades se offerunt pro debitis

27 si enim non habes unde restituas quid causae est ut tollat operimentum de cubili tuo

28 ne transgrediaris terminos antiquos quos posuerunt patres tui

29 vidisti virum velocem in opere suo coram regibus stabit nec erit ante ignobiles

Good News Translation GNT

1 If you have to choose between a good reputation and great wealth, choose a good reputation.

2 The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord made them both.

3 Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later.

4 Obey the Lord, be humble, and you will get riches, honor, and a long life.

5 If you love your life, stay away from the traps that catch the wicked along the way.

6 Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their life.

7 Poor people are slaves of the rich. Borrow money and you are the lender's slave.

8 If you plant the seeds of injustice, disaster will spring up, and your oppression of others will end.

9 Be generous and share your food with the poor. You will be blessed for it.

10 Get rid of a conceited person, and then there will be no more arguments, quarreling, or name-calling.

11 If you love purity of heart and graciousness of speech, the king will be your friend.

12 The Lord sees to it that truth is kept safe by disproving the words of liars.

13 Lazy people stay at home; they say a lion might get them if they go outside.

14 Adultery is a trap - it catches those with whom the Lord is angry.

15 Children just naturally do silly, careless things, but a good spanking will teach them how to behave.

16 If you make gifts to rich people or oppress the poor to get rich, you will become poor yourself.

17 Listen, and I will teach you what the wise have said. Study their teachings,

18 and you will be glad if you remember them and can quote them.

19 I want you to put your trust in the Lord; that is why I am going to tell them to you now.

20 I have written down thirty sayings for you. They contain knowledge and good advice,

21 and will teach you what the truth really is. Then when you are sent to find it out, you will bring back the right answer.

22 Don't take advantage of the poor just because you can; don't take advantage of those who stand helpless in court.

23 The Lord will argue their case for them and threaten the life of anyone who threatens theirs.

24 Don't make friends with people who have hot, violent tempers.

25 You might learn their habits and not be able to change.

26 Don't promise to be responsible for someone else's debts.

27 If you should be unable to pay, they will take away even your bed.

28 Never move an old property line that your ancestors established.

29 Show me someone who does a good job, and I will show you someone who is better than most and worthy of the company of kings.
