Proverbs 30

The Message Bible MSG

1 The skeptic swore, "There is no God! No God! - I can do anything I want!

2 I'm more animal than human; so-called human intelligence escapes me.

3 "I flunked 'wisdom.' I see no evidence of a holy God.

4 Has anyone ever seen Anyone climb into Heaven and take charge? grab the winds and control them? gather the rains in his bucket? stake out the ends of the earth? Just tell me his name, tell me the names of his sons. Come on now - tell me!"

5 The believer replied, "Every promise of God proves true; he protects everyone who runs to him for help.

6 So don't second-guess him; he might take you to task and show up your lies."

7 And then he prayed, "God, I'm asking for two things before I die; don't refuse me -

8 Banish lies from my lips and liars from my presence. Give me enough food to live on, neither too much nor too little.

9 If I'm too full, I might get independent, saying, 'God? Who needs him?' If I'm poor, I might steal and dishonor the name of my God."

10 Don't blow the whistle on your fellow workers behind their backs; They'll accuse you of being underhanded, and then you'll be the guilty one!

11 Don't curse your father or fail to bless your mother.

12 Don't imagine yourself to be quite presentable when you haven't had a bath in weeks.

13 Don't be stuck-up and think you're better than everyone else.

14 Don't be greedy, merciless and cruel as wolves, Tearing into the poor and feasting on them, shredding the needy to pieces only to discard them.

15 A leech has twin daughters named "Gimme" and "Gimme more." Four Insatiables Three things are never satisfied, no, there are four that never say, "That's enough, thank you!" -

16 hell, a barren womb, a parched land, a forest fire.

17 An eye that disdains a father and despises a mother - that eye will be plucked out by wild vultures and consumed by young eagles. Four Mysteries

18 Three things amaze me, no, four things I'll never understand -

19 how an eagle flies so high in the sky, how a snake glides over a rock, how a ship navigates the ocean, why adolescents act the way they do.

20 Here's how a prostitute operates: she has sex with her client, Takes a bath, then asks, "Who's next?" Four Intolerables

21 Three things are too much for even the earth to bear, yes, four things shake its foundations -

22 when the janitor becomes the boss, when a fool gets rich,

23 when a whore is voted "woman of the year," when a "girlfriend" replaces a faithful wife. Four Small Wonders

24 There are four small creatures, wisest of the wise they are -

25 ants - frail as they are, get plenty of food in for the winter;

26 marmots - vulnerable as they are, manage to arrange for rock-solid homes;

27 locusts - leaderless insects, yet they strip the field like an army regiment;

28 lizards - easy enough to catch, but they sneak past vigilant palace guards. Four Dignitaries

29 There are three solemn dignitaries, four that are impressive in their bearing -

30 a lion, king of the beasts, deferring to none;

31 a rooster, proud and strutting; a billy goat; a head of state in stately procession.

32 If you're dumb enough to call attention to yourself by offending people and making rude gestures,

33 Don't be surprised if someone bloodies your nose. Churned milk turns into butter; riled emotions turn into fist fights.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 verba Congregantis filii Vomentis visio quam locutus est vir cum quo est Deus et qui Deo secum morante confortatus ait

2 stultissimus sum virorum et sapientia hominum non est mecum

3 non didici sapientiam et non novi sanctorum scientiam

4 quis ascendit in caelum atque descendit quis continuit spiritum manibus suis quis conligavit aquas quasi in vestimento quis suscitavit omnes terminos terrae quod nomen eius et quod nomen filii eius si nosti

5 omnis sermo Dei ignitus clypeus est sperantibus in se

6 ne addas quicquam verbis illius et arguaris inveniarisque mendax

7 duo rogavi te ne deneges mihi antequam moriar

8 vanitatem et verba mendacia longe fac a me mendicitatem et divitias ne dederis mihi tribue tantum victui meo necessaria

9 ne forte saturatus inliciar ad negandum et dicam quis est Dominus et egestate conpulsus furer et peierem nomen Dei mei

10 ne accuses servum ad dominum suum ne forte maledicat tibi et corruas

11 generatio quae patri suo maledicit et quae non benedicit matri suae

12 generatio quae sibi munda videtur et tamen non est lota a sordibus suis

13 generatio cuius excelsi sunt oculi et palpebrae eius in alta subrectae

14 generatio quae pro dentibus gladios habet et commandit molaribus suis ut comedat inopes de terra et pauperes ex hominibus

15 sanguisugae duae sunt filiae dicentes adfer adfer tria sunt insaturabilia et quartum quod numquam dicit sufficit

16 infernus et os vulvae et terra quae non satiatur aqua ignis vero numquam dicit sufficit

17 oculum qui subsannat patrem et qui despicit partum matris suae effodiant corvi de torrentibus et comedant illum filii aquilae

18 tria sunt difficilia mihi et quartum penitus ignoro

19 viam aquilae in caelo viam colubri super petram viam navis in medio mari et viam viri in adulescentula

20 talis est via mulieris adulterae quae comedit et tergens os suum dicit non sum operata malum

21 per tria movetur terra et quartum non potest sustinere

22 per servum cum regnaverit per stultum cum saturatus fuerit cibo

23 per odiosam mulierem cum in matrimonio fuerit adsumpta et per ancillam cum heres fuerit dominae suae

24 quattuor sunt minima terrae et ipsa sunt sapientiora sapientibus

25 formicae populus infirmus quae praeparant in messe cibum sibi

26 lepusculus plebs invalida quae conlocat in petra cubile suum

27 regem lucusta non habet et egreditur universa per turmas

28 stilio manibus nititur et moratur in aedibus regis

29 tria sunt quae bene gradiuntur et quartum quod incedit feliciter

30 leo fortissimus bestiarum ad nullius pavebit occursum

31 gallus succinctus lumbos et aries nec est rex qui resistat ei

32 et qui stultus apparuit postquam elatus est in sublime si enim intellexisset ori inposuisset manum

33 qui autem fortiter premit ubera ad eliciendum lac exprimit butyrum et qui vehementer emungitur elicit sanguinem et qui provocat iras producit discordias
