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 King James Version NKJV

1 Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding;

2 For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law.

3 When I was my father's son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother,

4 He also taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live.

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

6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you.

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

8 Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.

9 She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you."

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

11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths.

12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble.

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

14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil.

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

16 For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall.

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

18 But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

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

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

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

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

23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you.

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you.

26 Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established.

27 Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.
