Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 A wise son makes [his] father glad: But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
1 Las sentencias de Salomón. EL hijo sabio alegra al padre; y el hijo necio es tristeza de su madre.
2 Treasures shall not profit the lawless: But righteousness shall deliver from death.
2 Los tesoros de maldad no serán de provecho: mas la justicia libra de muerte.
3 The Lord will not famish a righteous soul: But he will overthrow the life of the ungodly.
3 Jehová no dejará hambrear el alma del justo: mas la iniquidad lanzará á los impíos.
4 Poverty brings a man low: But the hands of the vigorous make rich.
4 La mano negligente hace pobre: mas la mano de los diligentes enriquece.
4a A son who is instructed shall be wise, And shall use the fool for a servant.
·
5 A wise son is saved from heat: But a lawless son is blighted of the winds in harvest.
5 El que recoge en el estío es hombre entendido: el que duerme en el tiempo de la siega es hombre afrentoso.
6 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: But untimely grief shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
6 Bendiciones sobre la cabeza del justo: mas violencia cubrirá la boca de los impíos.
7 The memory of the just is praised; But the name of the ungodly [man] is extinguished.
7 La memoria del justo será bendita: mas el nombre de los impíos se pudrirá.
8 A wise man in heart will receive commandments; But he that is unguarded in his lips shall be overthrown in his perverseness.
8 El sabio de corazón recibirá los mandamientos: mas el loco de labios caerá.
9 He that walks simply, walks confidently; But he that perverts his ways shall be known.
9 El que camina en integridad, anda confiado: mas el que pervierte sus caminos, será quebrantado.
10 He that winks with his eyes deceitfully, procures griefs for men; But he that reproves boldly is a peacemaker.
10 El que guiña del ojo acarrea tristeza; y el loco de labios será castigado.
11 [There is] a fountain of life in the hand of a righteous man; But destruction shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
11 Vena de vida es la boca del justo: mas violencia cubrirá la boca de los impíos.
12 Hatred stirs up strife; But affection covers all that do not love strife.
12 El odio despierta rencillas: mas la caridad cubrirá todas las faltas.
13 He that brings forth wisdom from his lips Smites the fool with a rod.
13 En los labios del prudente se halla sabiduría: y vara á las espaldas del falto de cordura.
14 The wise will hide discretion; But the mouth of the hasty draws near to ruin.
14 Los sabios guardan la sabiduría: mas la boca del loco es calamidad cercana.
15 The wealth of rich men is a strong city; But poverty is the ruin of the ungodly.
15 Las riquezas del rico son su ciudad fuerte; y el desmayo de los pobres es su pobreza.
16 The works of the righteous produce life; But the fruits of the ungodly [produce] sins.
16 La obra del justo [es] para vida; mas el fruto del impío [es] para pecado.
17 Instruction keeps the right ways of life; But instruction unchastened goes astray.
17 Camino á la vida es guardar la corrección: mas el que deja la reprensión, yerra.
18 Righteous lips cover enmity; But they that utter railings are most foolish.
18 El que encubre el odio es de labios mentirosos; y el que echa mala fama es necio.
19 By a multitude of words thou shalt not escape sin; But if thou refrain thy lips thou wilt be prudent.
19 En las muchas palabras no falta pecado: mas el que refrena sus labios es prudente.
20 The tongue of the just is tried silver; But the heart of the ungodly shall fail.
20 Plata escogida es la lengua del justo: mas el entendimiento de los impíos es como nada.
21 The lips of the righteous know sublime [truths]: But the foolish die in want.
21 Los labios del justo apacientan á muchos: mas los necios por falta de entendimiento mueren.
22 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous; It enriches [him], and grief of heart shall not be added to [it].
22 La bendición de Jehová es la que enriquece, y no añade tristeza con ella.
23 A fool does mischief in sport; But wisdom brings forth prudence for a man.
23 Hacer abominación es como risa al insensato: mas el hombre entendido sabe.
24 The ungodly is engulfed in destruction; But the desire of the righteous is acceptable.
24 Lo que el impío teme, eso le vendrá: mas á los justos les será dado lo que desean.
25 When the storm passes by, the ungodly vanishes away; But the righteous turns aside and escapes forever.
25 Como pasa el torbellino, así el malo no permanece: mas el justo, fundado para siempre.
26 As a sour grape is hurtful to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, So iniquity hurts those that practice it.
26 Como el vinagre á los dientes, y como el humo á los ojos, así es el perezoso á los que lo envían.
27 The fear of the Lord adds [length] of days: But the years of the ungodly shall be shortened.
27 El temor de Jehová aumentará los días: mas los años de los impíos serán acortados.
28 Joy rests long with the righteous: But the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
28 La esperanza de los justos [es] alegría; mas la esperanza de los impíos perecerá.
29 The fear of the Lord is a stronghold of the saints: But ruin [comes] to them that work wickedness.
29 Fortaleza es al perfecto el camino de Jehová: mas espanto es á los que obran maldad.
30 The righteous shall never fail: But the ungodly shall not dwell in the earth.
30 El justo eternalmente no será removido: mas los impíos no habitarán la tierra.
31 The mouth of the righteous drops wisdom: But the tongue of the unjust shall perish.
31 La boca del justo producirá sabiduría: mas la lengua perversa será cortada.
32 The lips of just men drop grace: But the mouth of the ungodly is perverse.
32 Los labios del justo conocerán lo que agrada: mas la boca de los impíos [habla] perversidades.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But since this is so, what is that which Solomon says, and which we heard first to-day out of another lesson, "He that winketh with the eyes deceitfully, heapeth sorrow upon men; but he that reproveth openly, maketh peace"? If then "he that reproveth openly, maketh peace;" how "rebuke him between him and thee alone"?

It is not I that say: hear the Scripture: "As a sour grape is vexation to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is unrighteousness to them that use it." For he that shall have eaten unrighteousness, that is, he that shall have had unrighteousness wilfully, shall not be able to eat righteousness.
