Proverbs 4

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 audite filii disciplinam patris et adtendite ut sciatis prudentiam

2 donum bonum tribuam vobis legem meam ne derelinquatis

3 nam et ego filius fui patris mei tenellus et unigenitus coram matre mea

4 et docebat me atque dicebat suscipiat verba mea cor tuum custodi praecepta mea et vives

5 posside sapientiam posside prudentiam ne obliviscaris neque declines a verbis oris mei

6 ne dimittas eam et custodiet te dilige eam et servabit te

7 principium sapientiae posside sapientiam et in omni possessione tua adquire prudentiam

8 arripe illam et exaltabit te glorificaberis ab ea cum eam fueris amplexatus

9 dabit capiti tuo augmenta gratiarum et corona inclita proteget te

10 audi fili mi et suscipe verba mea ut multiplicentur tibi anni vitae

11 viam sapientiae monstravi tibi duxi te per semitas aequitatis

12 quas cum ingressus fueris non artabuntur gressus tui et currens non habebis offendiculum

13 tene disciplinam ne dimittas eam custodi illam quia ipsa est vita tua

14 ne delecteris semitis impiorum nec tibi placeat malorum via

15 fuge ab ea ne transeas per illam declina et desere eam

16 non enim dormiunt nisi malefecerint et rapitur somnus ab eis nisi subplantaverint

17 comedunt panem impietatis et vinum iniquitatis bibunt

18 iustorum autem semita quasi lux splendens procedit et crescit usque ad perfectam diem

19 via impiorum tenebrosa nesciunt ubi corruant

20 fili mi ausculta sermones meos et ad eloquia mea inclina aurem tuam

21 ne recedant ab oculis tuis custodi ea in medio cordis tui

22 vita enim sunt invenientibus ea et universae carni sanitas

23 omni custodia serva cor tuum quia ex ipso vita procedit

24 remove a te os pravum et detrahentia labia sint procul a te

25 oculi tui recta videant et palpebrae tuae praecedant gressus tuos

26 dirige semitam pedibus tuis et omnes viae tuae stabilientur

27 ne declines ad dexteram et ad sinistram averte pedem tuum a malo

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding,

2 For I give you sound teaching; Do not abandon my instruction.

3 When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,

4 Then he taught me and said to me, "Let your heart hold fast my words; Keep my commandments and live;

5 Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

6 "Do not forsake her, and she will guard you; Love her, and she will watch over you.

7 "The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding.

8 "Prize her, and she will exalt you; She will honor you if you embrace her.

9 "She will place on your head a garland of grace; She will present you with a crown of beauty."

10 Hear, my son, and accept my sayings And the years of your life will be many.

11 I have directed you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in upright paths.

12 When you walk, your steps will not be impeded; And if you run, you will not stumble.

13 Take hold of instruction; do not let go. Guard her, for she is your life.

14 Do not enter the path of the wicked And do not proceed in the way of evil men.

15 Avoid it, do not pass by it; Turn away from it and pass on.

16 For they cannot sleep unless they do evil; And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.

17 For they eat the bread of wickedness And drink the wine of violence.

18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.

19 The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know over what they stumble.

20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.

21 Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart.

22 For they are life to those who find them And health to all their body.

23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.

24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth And put devious speech far from you.

25 Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.

26 Watch the path of your feet And all your ways will be established.

27 Do not turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil.
