11 El necio da suelta á todo su espíritu; mas el sabio al fin le sosiega.
12 If a ruler gives attention to false words, all his servants are evil-doers.
12 Del señor que escucha la palabra mentirosa, todos sus ministros son impíos.
13 The poor man and his creditor come face to face: the Lord gives light to their eyes equally.
13 El pobre y el usurero se encontraron: Jehová alumbra los ojos de ambos.
14 The king who is a true judge in the cause of the poor, will be safe for ever on the seat of his power.
14 El rey que juzga con verdad á los pobres, su trono será firme para siempre.
15 The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.
15 La vara y la corrección dan sabiduría: mas el muchacho consentido avergonzará á su madre.

16 Cuando los impíos son muchos, mucha es la prevaricación; mas los justos verán la ruina de ellos.
17 Give your son training, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your soul.
17 Corrige á tu hijo, y te dará descanso, y dará deleite á tu alma.
18 Where there is no vision, the people are uncontrolled; but he who keeps the law will be happy.
18 Sin profecía el pueblo será disipado: mas el que guarda la ley, bienaventurado él.
19 A servant will not be trained by words; for though the sense of the words is clear to him, he will not give attention.
19 El siervo no se corregirá con palabras: porque entiende, mas no corresponde.
20 Have you seen a man who is quick with his tongue? There is more hope for a foolish man than for him.
20 ¿Has visto hombre ligero en sus palabras? más esperanza hay del necio que de él.

23 La soberbia del hombre le abate; pero al humilde de espíritu sustenta la honra.
24 A man who takes part with a thief has hate for his soul; he is put under oath, but says nothing.
24 El aparcero del ladrón aborrece su vida; oirá maldiciones, y no [lo] denunciará.
