| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | As the divisions of waters, so the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whithersoever he will he shall turn it. | Sicut divisiones aquarum, ita cor regis in manu Domini: quocumque voluerit, inclinabit illud. |
| 2 | Every way of a man seemeth right to himself: but the Lord weigheth the hearts. | Omnis via viri recta sibi videtur: appendit autem corda Dominus. |
| 3 | To do mercy and judgment, pleaseth the Lord more than victims. | Facere misericordiam et iudicium magis placet Domino quam victimae. |
| 4 | Haughtiness of the eyes is the enlarging of the heart: the lamp of the wicked is sin. | Exaltatio oculorum est dilatatio cordis; lucerna impiorum peccatum. |
| 5 | The thoughts of the industrious always bring forth abundance: but every sluggard is always in want. | Cogitationes robusti semper in abundantia; omnis autem piger semper in egestate est. |
| 6 | He that gathereth treasures by a lying tongue, is vain and foolish, and shall stumble upon the snares of death. | Qui congregat thesauros lingua mendacii vanus et excors est, et impingetur ad laqueos mortis. |
| 7 | The robberies of the wicked shall be their downfall, because they would not do judgment. | Rapinae impiorum detrahent eos, quia noluerunt facere iudicium. |
| 8 | The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right. | Perversa via viri aliena est; qui autem mundus est, rectum opus eius. |
| 9 | It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house. | Melius est sedere in angulo domatis, quam cum muliere litigiosa, et in domo communi. |
| 10 | The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour. | Anima impii desiderat malum: non miserebitur proximo suo. |
| 11 | When a pestilent man is punished, the little one will be wiser: and if he follow the wise, he will receive knowledge. | Mulctato pestilente, sapientior erit parvulus, et si sectetur sapientem, sumet scientiam. |
| 12 | The just considereth seriously the house of the wicked, that he may withdraw the wicked from evil. | Excogitat iustus de domo impii, ut detrahat impios a malo. |
| 13 | He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor, shall also cry himself and shall not be heard. | Qui obturat aurem suam ad clamorem pauperis, et ipse clamabit, et non exaudietur. |
| 14 | A secret present quencheth anger: and a gift in the bosom the greatest wrath. | Munus absconditum extinguit iras, et donum in sinu indignationem maximam. |
| 15 | It is joy to the just to do judgment: and dread to them that work iniquity. | Gaudium iusto est facere iudicium, et pavor operantibus iniquitatem. |
| 16 | A man that shall wander out of the way of doctrine, shall abide in the company of the giants. | Vir qui erraverit a via doctrinae in coetu gigantum commorabitur. |
| 17 | He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich. | Qui diligit epulas in egestate erit; qui amat vinum et pinguia non ditabitur. |
| 18 | The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous. | Pro iusto datur impius, et pro rectis iniquus. |
| 19 | It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman. | Melius est habitare in terra deserta quam cum muliere rixosa et iracunda. |
| 20 | There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it. | Thesaurus desiderabilis, et oleum in habitaculo iusti: et imprudens homo dissipabit illud. |
| 21 | He that followeth justice and mercy, shall find life, justice, and glory. | Qui sequitur iustitiam et misericordiam inveniet vitam, iustitiam, et gloriam. |
| 22 | The wise man hath scaled the city of the strong, and hath cast down the strength of the confidence thereof. | Civitatem fortium ascendit sapiens, et destruxit robur fiduciae eius. |
| 23 | He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from distress. | Qui custodit os suum et linguam suam custodit ab angustiis animam suam. |
| 24 | The proud and the arrogant is called ignorant, who in anger worketh pride. | Superbus et arrogans vocatur indoctus, qui in ira operatur superbiam. |
| 25 | Desires kill the slothful: for his hands have refused to work at all. | Desideria occidunt pigrum: noluerunt enim quidquam manus eius operari. |
| 26 | He longeth and desireth all the day: but he that is just, will give, and will not cease. | Tota die concupiscit et desiderat; qui autem iustus est, tribuet, et non cessabit. |
| 27 | The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness. | Hostiae impiorum abominabiles, quia offeruntur ex scelere. |
| 28 | A lying witness shall perish: an obedient man shall speak of victory. | Testis mendax peribit; vir obediens loquetur victoriam. |
| 29 | The wicked man impudently hardeneth his face: but he that is righteous, correcteth his way. | Vir impius procaciter obfirmat vultum suum; qui autem rectus est corrigit viam suam. |
| 30 | There is no wisdom, there is no prudence, there is no counsel against the Lord. | Non est sapientia, non est prudentia, non est consilium contra Dominum. |
| 31 | The horse is prepared for the day of battle: but the Lord giveth safety. | Equus paratur ad diem belli; Dominus autem salutem tribuit. |
