WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 As dew in harvest, and as rain in summer, So honor is not [seemly] for a fool.

1 COMO la nieve en el verano, y la lluvia en la siega, así conviene al necio la honra.

1 Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

2 As birds and sparrows fly, So a curse shall not come upon anyone without a cause.

2 Como el gorrión en su vagar, y como la golondrina en su vuelo, así la maldición sin causa nunca vendrá.

2 Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.

3 As a whip for a horse, and a goad for an ass, So [is] a rod for a simple nation.

3 El látigo para el caballo, y el cabestro para el asno, y la vara para la espalda del necio.

3 A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!

4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou become like him.

4 Nunca respondas al necio en conformidad á su necedad, para que no seas tú también como él.

4 Don’t answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.

5 Yet answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he seem wise in his own conceit.

5 Responde al necio según su necedad, porque no se estime sabio en su opinión.

5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

6 He that sends a message by a foolish messenger Procures for himself a reproach from his own ways.

6 Como el que se corta los pies y bebe su daño, así es el que envía algo por mano de un necio.

6 One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.

7 [As well] take away the motion of the legs, As transgression from the mouth of fools.

7 Alzar las piernas del cojo, así es el proverbio en la boca del necio.

7 Like the legs of the lame that hang loose, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

8 He that binds up a stone in a sling, Is like one that gives glory to a fool.

8 Como quien liga la piedra en la honda, así [hace] el que al necio da honra.

8 As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.

9 Thorns grow in the hand of a drunkard, And servitude in the hand of fools.

9 Espinas hincadas en mano del embriagado, tal es el proverbio en la boca de los necios.

9 Like a thorn bush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

10 All the flesh of fools endures much hardship; For their fury is brought to nought.

10 El grande cría todas las cosas; y da la paga al insensato, y la da á los transgresores.

10 As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.

11 As when a dog goes to his own vomit, and becomes abominable, So is a fool who returns in his wickedness to his own sin.

11 Como perro que vuelve á su vómito, así el necio que repite su necedad.

11 As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.

11a There is a shame that brings sin: And there is a shame [that is] glory and grace.

12 I have seen a man who seemed to himself to be wise; But a fool had more hope than he.

12 ¿Has visto hombre sabio en su opinión? más esperanza hay del necio que de él.

12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13 A sluggard when sent on a journey says, [There is] a lion in the ways, And [there are] murderers in the streets.

13 Dice el perezoso: El león está en el camino; el león está en las calles.

13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!”

14 As a door turns on the hinge, So does a sluggard on his bed.

14 Las puertas se revuelven en sus quicios: así el perezoso en su cama.

14 As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.

15 A sluggard having hidden his hand in his bosom, Will not be able to bring it up to his mouth.

15 Esconde el perezoso su mano en el seno; cánsase de tornarla á su boca.

15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

16 A sluggard seems to himself wiser Than one who most satisfactorily brings back a message.

16 A su ver es el perezoso más sabio que siete que [le] den consejo.

16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.

17 As he that lays hold of a dog’s tail, So is he that makes himself the champion of another’s cause.

17 El que pasando se deja llevar de la ira en pleito ajeno, es [como] el que toma al perro por las orejas.

17 Like one who grabs a dog’s ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.

18 As those who need correction put forth [fair] words to men, And he that first falls in with the proposal will be overthrown;

18 Como el que enloquece, y echa llamas y saetas y muerte,

18 Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,

19 So are all that lay wait for their own friends, And when they are discovered, say, I did it in jest.

19 Tal es el hombre que daña á su amigo, y dice: Ciertamente me chanceaba.

19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”

20 With much wood fire increases; But where there is not a double-minded man, strife ceases.

20 Sin leña se apaga el fuego: y donde no hay chismoso, cesa la contienda.

20 For lack of wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.

21 A hearth for coals, and wood for fire; And a railing man for the tumult of strife.

21 El carbón para brasas, y la leña para el fuego: y el hombre rencilloso para encender contienda.

21 As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.

22 The words of cunning knaves are soft; But they smite [even] to the inmost parts of the bowels.

22 Las palabras del chismoso parecen blandas; mas ellas entran hasta lo secreto del vientre.

22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.

23 Silver dishonestly given is to be considered as a potsherd: Smooth lips cover a grievous heart.

27 He that digs a pit for his neighbor shall fall into it: And he that rolls a stone, rolls it upon himself.

27 El que cavare sima, caerá en ella: y el que revuelva la piedra, á él volverá.

27 Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

28 A lying tongue hates the truth; And an unguarded mouth causes tumults.

28 La falsa lengua atormenta al que aborrece: y la boca lisonjera hace resbaladero.

28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.
