Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A deceitful balance is an abomination before the Lord: and a just weight is his will. | Statera dolosa abominatio est apud Dominum, et pondus aequum voluntas eius. |
| 2 | Where pride is, there also shall be reproach: but where humility is, there also is wisdom. | Ubi fuerit superbia, ibi erit et contumelia; ubi autem est humilitas, ibi et sapientia. |
| 3 | The simplicity of the just shall guide them: and the deceitfulness of the wicked shall destroy them. | Simplicitas iustorum diriget eos, et supplantatio perversorum vastabit illos. |
| 4 | Riches shall not profit in the day of revenge: but justice shall deliver from death. | Non proderunt divitiae in die ultionis; iustitia autem liberabit a morte. |
| 5 | The justice of the upright shall make his way prosperous: and the wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness. | Iustitia simplicis diriget viam eius, et in impietate sua corruet impius. |
| 6 | The justice of the righteous shall deliver them: and the unjust shall be caught in their own snares. | Iustitia rectorum liberabit eos, et in insidiis suis capientur iniqui. |
| 7 | When the wicked man is dead, there shall be no hope any more: and the expectation of the solicitous shall perish. | Mortuo homine impio, nulla erit ultra spes, et exspectatio sollicitorum peribit. |
| 8 | The just is delivered out of distress: and the wicked shall be given up for him. | Iustus de angustia liberatus est, et tradetur impius pro eo. |
| 9 | The dissembler with his mouth deceiveth his friend: but the just shall be delivered by knowledge. | Simulator ore decipit amicum suum; iusti autem liberabuntur scientia. |
| 10 | When it goeth well with the just the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish there shall be praise. | In bonis iustorum exsultabit civitas, et in perditione impiorum erit laudatio. |
| 11 | By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown. | Benedictione iustorum exaltabitur civitas, et ore impiorum subvertetur. |
| 12 | He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold his peace. | Qui despicit amicum suum indigens corde est; vir autem prudens tacebit. |
| 13 | He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend. | Qui ambulat fraudulenter, revelat arcana; qui autem fidelis est animi, celat amici commissum. |
| 14 | Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel. | Ubi non est gubernator, populus corruet; salus autem, ubi multa consilia. |
| 15 | He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure. | Affligetur malo qui fidem facit pro extraneo; qui autem cavet laqueos securus erit. |
| 16 | A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches. | Mulier gratiosa inveniet gloriam, et robusti habebunt divitias. |
| 17 | A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred. | Benefacit animae suae vir misericors; qui autem crudelis est, etiam propinquos abiicit. |
| 18 | The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward. | Impius facit opus instabile, seminanti autem iustitiam merces fidelis. |
| 19 | Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death. | Clementia praeparat vitam, et sectatio malorum mortem. |
| 20 | A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely. | Abominabile Domino cor pravum, et voluntas eius in iis qui simpliciter ambulant. |
| 21 | Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved. | Manus in manu non erit innocens malus; semen autem iustorum salvabitur. |
| 22 | A golden ring in a swine’s snout, a woman fair and foolish. | Circulus aureus in naribus suis, mulier pulchra et fatua. |
| 23 | The desire of the just is all good: the expectation of the wicked is indignation. | Desiderium iustorum omne bonum est; praestolatio impiorum furor. |
| 24 | Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want. | Alii dividunt propria, et ditiores fiunt; alii rapiunt non sua, et semper in egestate sunt. |
| 25 | The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself. | Anima quae benedicit impinguabitur, et qui inebriat, ipse quoque inebriabitur. |
| 26 | He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell. | Qui abscondit frumenta maledicetur in populis; benedictio autem super caput vendentium. |
| 27 | Well doth he rise early who seeketh good things; but he that seeketh after evil things shall be oppressed by them. | Bene consurgit diluculo qui quaerit bona; qui autem investigator malorum est, opprimetur ab eis. |
| 28 | He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the just shall spring up as a green leaf. | Qui confidit in divitiis suis corruet: iusti autem quasi virens folium germinabunt. |
| 29 | He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the winds: and the fool shall serve the wise. | Qui conturbat domum suam possidebit ventos, et qui stultus est serviet sapienti. |
| 30 | The fruit of the just man is a tree of life: and he that gaineth souls, is wise. | Fructus iusti lignum vitae, et qui suscipit animas sapiens est. |
| 31 | If the just man receive in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner. | Si iustus in terra recipit, quanto magis impius et peccator! |
