1 A wise son gladdens the father. Yet truly, a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
1 Las sentencias de Salomón. EL hijo sabio alegra al padre; y el hijo necio es tristeza de su madre.
2 Treasures of impiety will profit nothing. Truly, justice shall liberate from death.
2 Los tesoros de maldad no serán de provecho: mas la justicia libra de muerte.
3 The Lord will not afflict with famine the soul of the just, and he will overthrow the treacheries of the impious.
3 Jehová no dejará hambrear el alma del justo: mas la iniquidad lanzará á los impíos.
4 The neglectful hand has wrought destitution. But the hand of the steadfast prepares riches. He who advances by lies, this one feeds on the wind. For he is the same as one who runs after flying birds.
4 La mano negligente hace pobre: mas la mano de los diligentes enriquece.
5 He who gathers the harvest is a wise son. But he who snores in warm weather is a son of confusion.
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 on the head of the just. But iniquity covers the mouth of the impious.
6 Bendiciones sobre la cabeza del justo: mas violencia cubrirá la boca de los impíos.
7 The remembrance of the just is with praises. And the name of the impious shall decay.
7 La memoria del justo será bendita: mas el nombre de los impíos se pudrirá.
8 The wise of heart accept precepts. The foolish are cut down by the lips.
8 El sabio de corazón recibirá los mandamientos: mas el loco de labios caerá.
9 He who walks in simplicity walks in confidence. But he who corrupts his ways shall be discovered.
9 El que camina en integridad, anda confiado: mas el que pervierte sus caminos, será quebrantado.
10 He who winks with the eye gives sorrow. And the foolish in lips shall be beaten.
10 El que guiña del ojo acarrea tristeza; y el loco de labios será castigado.
11 The mouth of the just is a vein of life. And the mouth of the impious covers iniquity.
11 Vena de vida es la boca del justo: mas violencia cubrirá la boca de los impíos.
12 Hatred rises up from disputes. And charity covers all offenses.
12 El odio despierta rencillas: mas la caridad cubrirá todas las faltas.
13 In the lips of the wise, wisdom is discovered. And a rod is for the back of one who lacks heart.
13 En los labios del prudente se halla sabiduría: y vara á las espaldas del falto de cordura.
14 The wise store away knowledge. But the mouth of the foolish is a neighbor to confusion.
14 Los sabios guardan la sabiduría: mas la boca del loco es calamidad cercana.
15 The substance of the rich is the city of his strength. The fear of the poor is their destitution.
15 Las riquezas del rico son su ciudad fuerte; y el desmayo de los pobres es su pobreza.
16 The work of the just is unto life. But the fruit of the impious is unto sin.
16 La obra del justo [es] para vida; mas el fruto del impío [es] para pecado.
17 The way of life is for those who observe discipline. But whoever abandons correction wanders astray.
17 Camino á la vida es guardar la corrección: mas el que deja la reprensión, yerra.
18 Lying lips conceal hatred; whoever brings forth contempt is unwise.
18 El que encubre el odio es de labios mentirosos; y el que echa mala fama es necio.
19 In a multitude of speaking, sin will not be lacking. But whoever tempers his lips is most prudent.
19 En las muchas palabras no falta pecado: mas el que refrena sus labios es prudente.
20 The tongue of the just is choice silver. But the heart of the impious is exchanged for nothing.
20 Plata escogida es la lengua del justo: mas el entendimiento de los impíos es como nada.
21 The lips of the just instruct many. But those who are unlearned shall die in destitution of heart.
21 Los labios del justo apacientan á muchos: mas los necios por falta de entendimiento mueren.
22 The blessing of the Lord causes riches. Affliction will not be a companion to them.
22 La bendición de Jehová es la que enriquece, y no añade tristeza con ella.
23 The foolish work wickedness as if in jest. But wisdom is prudence to a man.
23 Hacer abominación es como risa al insensato: mas el hombre entendido sabe.
24 What the impious fear will overwhelm them. The just shall be given their desire.
24 Lo que el impío teme, eso le vendrá: mas á los justos les será dado lo que desean.
25 Like a passing tempest, so the impious one will be no more. But the just one is like an everlasting foundation.
25 Como pasa el torbellino, así el malo no permanece: mas el justo, fundado para siempre.
26 Like vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is a lazy one to those who sent him.
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 days. And the years of the impious will be shortened.
27 El temor de Jehová aumentará los días: mas los años de los impíos serán acortados.
28 The expectation of the just is rejoicing. But the hope of the impious will perish.
28 La esperanza de los justos [es] alegría; mas la esperanza de los impíos perecerá.
29 The strength of the simple is the way of the Lord, and it is fear to those who work evil.
29 Fortaleza es al perfecto el camino de Jehová: mas espanto es á los que obran maldad.
30 The just in eternity shall not be moved. But the impious will not live upon the earth.
30 El justo eternalmente no será removido: mas los impíos no habitarán la tierra.
31 The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom. The tongue of the depraved will perish.
31 La boca del justo producirá sabiduría: mas la lengua perversa será cortada.
32 The lips of the just consider what is acceptable. And the mouth of the impious considers perversities.
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.
