Proverbs 10
1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth [his] father to rejoice; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων λύπη τῇ μητρί
2 Treasures of wickedness will not profit aught; but righteousness will deliver from death.
οὐκ ὠφελήσουσιν θησαυροὶ ἀνόμους δικαιοσύνη δὲ ῥύσεται ἐκ θανάτου
3 The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but the sinful desires of the wicked will he cast away.
οὐ λιμοκτονήσει κύριος ψυχὴν δικαίαν ζωὴν δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀνατρέψει
4 He becometh poor that laboreth with an indolent hand, but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
πενία ἄνδρα ταπεινοῖ χεῖρες δὲ ἀνδρείων πλουτίζουσιν υἱὸς πεπαιδευμένος σοφὸς ἔσται τῷ δὲ ἄφρονι διακόνῳ χρήσεται
5 He that gathereth in summer is an intelligent son; [but] he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
διεσώθη ἀπὸ καύματος υἱὸς νοήμων ἀνεμόφθορος δὲ γίνεται ἐν ἀμήτῳ υἱὸς παράνομος
6 Blessings come upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked covereth violence.
εὐλογία κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν καλύψει πένθος ἄωρον
7 The memory of the just is [destined] to be blessed; but the name of the wicked shall rot.
μνήμη δικαίων μετ’ ἐγκωμίων ὄνομα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς σβέννυται
8 The wise in heart will accept commandments; but he that is a fool in his speaking will stumble.
σοφὸς καρδίᾳ δέξεται ἐντολάς ὁ δὲ ἄστεγος χείλεσιν σκολιάζων ὑποσκελισθήσεται
9 He that walketh uprightly ever walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways will be punished.
ὃς πορεύεται ἁπλῶς πορεύεται πεποιθώς ὁ δὲ διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ γνωσθήσεται
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth vexation; and he that is a fool in his speaking will stumble.
ὁ ἐννεύων ὀφθαλμοῖς μετὰ δόλου συνάγει ἀνδράσι λύπας ὁ δὲ ἐλέγχων μετὰ παρρησίας εἰρηνοποιεῖ
11 A source of life is the mouth of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked covereth violence.
πηγὴ ζωῆς ἐν χειρὶ δικαίου στόμα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς καλύψει ἀπώλεια
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love throweth a cover over all transgressions.
μῖσος ἐγείρει νεῖκος πάντας δὲ τοὺς μὴ φιλονεικοῦντας καλύπτει φιλία
13 On the lips of the man of understanding there is found wisdom: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of sense.
ὃς ἐκ χειλέων προφέρει σοφίαν ῥάβδῳ τύπτει ἄνδρα ἀκάρδιον
14 Wise men treasure up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an approaching terror.
σοφοὶ κρύψουσιν αἴσθησιν στόμα δὲ προπετοῦς ἐγγίζει συντριβῇ
15 The wealth of the rich man is his strong town: the terror of the poor is their poverty.
κτῆσις πλουσίων πόλις ὀχυρά συντριβὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πενία
16 The labor of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the product of the wicked is for sin.
ἔργα δικαίων ζωὴν ποιεῖ καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἁμαρτίας
17 On the way unto life is he that observeth correction; but he that forsaketh reproof is in error.
ὁδοὺς δικαίας ζωῆς φυλάσσει παιδεία παιδεία δὲ ἀνεξέλεγκτος πλανᾶται
18 He that hideth hatred hath lips of falsehood; and he that spreadeth abroad an evil report, is a fool.
καλύπτουσιν ἔχθραν χείλη δίκαια οἱ δὲ ἐκφέροντες λοιδορίας ἀφρονέστατοί εἰσιν
19 In a multitude of words transgression cannot be avoided; but he that refraineth his lips is intelligent.
ἐκ πολυλογίας οὐκ ἐκφεύξῃ ἁμαρτίαν φειδόμενος δὲ χειλέων νοήμων ἔσῃ
20 [Like] choice silver is the tongue of the righteous: the heart of the wicked is worth but very little.
ἄργυρος πεπυρωμένος γλῶσσα δικαίου καρδία δὲ ἀσεβοῦς ἐκλείψει
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die through lack of sense.
χείλη δικαίων ἐπίσταται ὑψηλά οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες ἐν ἐνδείᾳ τελευτῶσιν
22 The blessing of the Lord it is which maketh rich, and painful labor addeth nothing thereto.
εὐλογία κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου αὕτη πλουτίζει καὶ οὐ μὴ προστεθῇ αὐτῇ λύπη ἐν καρδίᾳ
23 It is as sport to a fool to do wicked deeds; but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
ἐν γέλωτι ἄφρων πράσσει κακά ἡ δὲ σοφία ἀνδρὶ τίκτει φρόνησιν
24 What the wicked dreadeth, that will come upon him: but the longing of the righteous will God grant.
ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ ἀσεβὴς περιφέρεται ἐπιθυμία δὲ δικαίου δεκτή
25 As the whirlwind passeth by, the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
παραπορευομένης καταιγίδος ἀφανίζεται ἀσεβής δίκαιος δὲ ἐκκλίνας σῴζεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
26 As vinegar is to the teeth, and as smoke is to the eyes: so is the sluggard to those that send him.
ὥσπερ ὄμφαξ ὀδοῦσι βλαβερὸν καὶ καπνὸς ὄμμασιν οὕτως παρανομία τοῖς χρωμένοις αὐτήν
27 The fear of the Lord increaseth [man's] days; but the years of the wicked will be shortened.
φόβος κυρίου προστίθησιν ἡμέρας ἔτη δὲ ἀσεβῶν ὀλιγωθήσεται
28 The expectation of the righteous is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
ἐγχρονίζει δικαίοις εὐφροσύνη ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ὄλλυται
29 The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the upright; but terror is destined to the workers of injustice.
ὀχύρωμα ὁσίου φόβος κυρίου συντριβὴ δὲ τοῖς ἐργαζομένοις κακά
30 The righteous shall never be removed; but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
δίκαιος τὸν αἰῶνα οὐκ ἐνδώσει ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἰκήσουσιν γῆν
31 The mouth of the just uttereth wisdom; but the tongue of perverseness shall be cut out.
στόμα δικαίου ἀποστάζει σοφίαν γλῶσσα δὲ ἀδίκου ἐξολεῖται
32 The lips of the righteous know [how to obtain] favor; but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] perverseness.
χείλη ἀνδρῶν δικαίων ἀποστάζει χάριτας στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποστρέφεται
