Proverbs 29
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him. | Viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit, repentinus ei superveniet interitus, et eum sanitas non sequetur. |
| 2 | When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn. | In multiplicatione iustorum laetabitur vulgus; cum impii sumpserint principatum, gemet populus. |
| 3 | A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance. | Vir qui amat sapientiam laetificat patrem suum; qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam. |
| 4 | A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it. | Rex iustus erigit terram; vir avarus destruet eam. |
| 5 | A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet. | Homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo rete expandit gressibus eius. |
| 6 | A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice. | Peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus, et iustus laudabit atque gaudebit. |
| 7 | The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge. | Novit iustus causam pauperum; impius ignorat scientiam. |
| 8 | Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath. | Homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem; sapientes vero avertunt furorem. |
| 9 | If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest. | Vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit, sive irascatur, sive rideat, non inveniet requiem. |
| 10 | Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul. | Viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem; iusti autem quaerunt animam eius. |
| 11 | A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards. | Totum spiritum suum profert stultus; sapiens differt, et reservat in posterum. |
| 12 | A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked. | Princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii, omnes ministros habet impios. |
| 13 | The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both. | Pauper et creditor obviaverunt sibi: utriusque illuminator est Dominus. |
| 14 | The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever. | Rex qui iudicat in veritate pauperes, thronus eius in aeternum firmabitur. |
| 15 | The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame. | Virga atque correptio tribuit sapientiam; puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suae confundit matrem suam. |
| 16 | When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall. | In multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera, et iusti ruinas eorum videbunt. |
| 17 | Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul. | Erudi filium tuum, et refrigerabit te, et dabit delicias animae tuae. |
| 18 | When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed. | Cum prophetia defecerit, dissipabitur populus; qui vero custodit legem beatus est. |
| 19 | A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer. | Servus verbis non potest erudiri, quia quod dicis intelligit, et respondere contemnit. |
| 20 | Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment. | Vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum? stultitia magis speranda est quam illius correptio. |
| 21 | He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn. | Qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum postea sentiet eum contumacem. |
| 22 | A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin. | Vir iracundus provocat rixas, et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccandum proclivior. |
| 23 | Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit. | Superbum sequitur humilitas, et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria. |
| 24 | He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not. | Qui cum fure participat odit animam suam; adiurantem audit, et non indicat. |
| 25 | He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high. | Qui timet hominem cito corruet; qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur. |
| 26 | Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord. | Multi requirunt faciem principis, et iudicium a Domino egreditur singulorum. |
| 27 | The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction. | Abominantur iusti virum impium, et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via. Verbum custodiens filius extra perditionem erit. |
