Proverbs 9
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars. | Sapientia aedificavit sibi domum: excidit columnas septem. |
| 2 | She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table. | Immolavit victimas suas, miscuit vinum, et proposuit mensam suam. |
| 3 | She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city: | Misit ancillas suas ut vocarent ad arcem et ad moenia civitatis. |
| 4 | Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said: | Si quis est parvulus, veniat ad me. Et insipientibus locuta est: |
| 5 | Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you. | Venite, comedite panem meum, et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis. |
| 6 | Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence. | Relinquite infantiam, et vivite, et ambulate per vias prudentiae. |
| 7 | He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot. | Qui erudit derisorem, ipse iniuriam sibi facit, et qui arguit impium, sibi maculam generat. |
| 8 | Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. | Noli arguere derisorem, ne oderit te: argue sapientem, et diliget te. |
| 9 | Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it. | Da sapienti occasionem, et addetur ei sapientia; doce iustum, et festinabit accipere. |
| 10 | The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence. | Principium sapientiae timor Domini, et scientia sanctorum prudentia. |
| 11 | For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee. | Per me enim multiplicabuntur dies tui, et addentur tibi anni vitae. |
| 12 | If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil. | Si sapiens fueris, tibimetipsi eris; si autem illusor, solus portabis malum. |
| 13 | A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all, | Mulier stulta et clamosa, plenaque illecebris, et nihil omnino sciens, |
| 14 | Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city, | sedit in foribus domus suae, super sellam in excelso urbis loco, |
| 15 | To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey: | ut vocaret transeuntes per viam, et pergentes itinere suo: |
| 16 | He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said: | Qui est parvulus declinet ad me. Et vecordi locuta est: |
| 17 | Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant. | Aquae furtivae dulciores sunt, et panis absconditus suavior. |
| 18 | And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell. | Et ignoravit quod ibi sint gigantes, et in profundis inferni convivae eius. |
