WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Є҆́сть бо сребрꙋ̀ мѣ́сто, ѿѻнꙋ́дꙋже и҆ быва́етъ, и҆ мѣ́сто зла́тꙋ, ѿѻнꙋ́дꙋже ѡ҆чища́етсѧ.
1 CIERTAMENTE la plata tiene sus veneros, y el oro lugar [donde] se forma.
1 “Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.
2 Желѣ́зо бо и҆з̾ землѝ ражда́етсѧ, мѣ́дь же ра́внѡ ка́менїю сѣче́тсѧ.
2 El hierro se saca del polvo, y de la piedra es fundido el metal.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted out of the ore.
3 Чи́нъ положѝ тьмѣ̀, и҆ всѧ̑ концы̑ са́мъ и҆спытꙋ́етъ, камы́къ тьмы̀ и҆ сѣ́нь сме́рти.
3 A las tinieblas puso término, y examina todo á la perfección, las piedras [que hay] en la oscuridad y en la sombra de muerte.
3 Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
4 Пресѣче́нїе пото́ка ѿ пра́ха: забыва́ющїи же пꙋ́ть пра́вый и҆знемого́ша, ѿ человѣ̑къ подвиго́шасѧ.
4 Brota el torrente de junto al morador, [aguas] que el pie había olvidado: sécanse luego, vanse del hombre.
4 He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.
5 Є҆́сть землѧ̀, и҆з̾ неѧ́же и҆зы́детъ хлѣ́бъ: под̾ не́ю ѡ҆брати́сѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гнь.
5 De la tierra nace el pan, y debajo de ella estará como convertida en fuego.
5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread. Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
6 Мѣ́сто сапфі́ра ка́менїе є҆ѧ̀, и҆ пе́рсть зла́то є҆мꙋ̀.
6 Lugar hay cuyas piedras son zafiro, y sus polvos de oro.
6 Sapphires come from its rocks. It has dust of gold.
7 Стезѧ̀, не позна̀ є҆ѧ̀ пти́ца, и҆ не ᲂу҆зрѣ̀ ю҆̀ ѻ҆́ко сꙋ́пово,
7 Senda que nunca la conoció ave, ni ojo de buitre la vió:
7 That path no bird of prey knows, neither has the falcon’s eye seen it.
8 и҆ не ходи́ша по не́й сы́нове велича́выхъ, и҆ не пре́йде по не́й ле́въ.
8 Nunca la pisaron animales fieros, ni león pasó por ella.
8 The proud animals have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed by there.
9 На несѣко́мѣ ка́мени прострѐ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀, преврати́ же и҆з̾ коре́нїѧ го́ры:
9 En el pedernal puso su mano, y trastornó los montes de raíz.
9 He puts his hand on the flinty rock, and he overturns the mountains by the roots.
10 бре́ги рѣ́къ расто́рже, всѧ́кое же честно́е ви́дѣ ѻ҆́ко моѐ:
10 De los peñascos cortó ríos, y sus ojos vieron todo lo preciado.
10 He cuts out channels among the rocks. His eye sees every precious thing.
11 глꙋбины̑ же рѣ́къ ѿкры̀ и҆ показа̀ си́лꙋ свою̀ на свѣ́тъ.
11 Detuvo los ríos en su nacimiento, é hizo salir á luz lo escondido.
11 He binds the streams that they don’t trickle. The thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
12 Премꙋ́дрость же ѿкꙋ́дꙋ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ; и҆ ко́е мѣ́сто є҆́сть вѣ́дѣнїѧ;
12 Empero ¿dónde se hallará la sabiduría? ¿y dónde está el lugar de la prudencia?
12 “But where will wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?
13 Не вѣ́сть человѣ́къ пꙋтѝ є҆ѧ̀, нижѐ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ въ человѣ́цѣхъ.
13 No conoce su valor el hombre, ni se halla en la tierra de los vivientes.
13 Man doesn’t know its price, and it isn’t found in the land of the living.
14 Бе́здна речѐ: нѣ́сть во мнѣ̀: и҆ мо́ре речѐ: нѣ́сть со мно́ю.
14 El abismo dice: No está en mí: y la mar dijo: Ni conmigo.
14 The deep says, ‘It isn’t in me.’ The sea says, ‘It isn’t with me.’
15 Не да́стсѧ сокро́вище за ню̀, и҆ не и҆звѣ́ситсѧ сребро̀ на и҆змѣне́нїе є҆ѧ̀,
15 No se dará por oro, ni su precio será á peso de plata.
15 It can’t be gotten for gold, neither will silver be weighed for its price.
16 и҆ не сравни́тсѧ со зла́томъ сѡфі́рскимъ, со ѻ҆́нѷѯомъ честны́мъ и҆ сапфі́ромъ:
16 No puede ser apreciada con oro de Ophir, ni con onique precioso, ni con zafiro.
16 It can’t be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 не ра́вно бꙋ́детъ є҆́й зла́то и҆ крѷста́ль, и҆ и҆змѣне́нїе є҆ѧ̀ сосꙋ́ди зла́ти.
17 El oro no se le igualará, ni el diamante; ni se trocará por vaso de oro fino.
17 Gold and glass can’t equal it, neither will it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
18 Превысѡ́каѧ и҆ би́серїе не помѧ́нꙋтсѧ, и҆ притѧжѝ премꙋ́дрость па́че внꙋ́треннѣйшихъ:
18 De coral ni de perlas no se hará mención: la sabiduría es mejor que piedras preciosas.
18 No mention will be made of coral or of crystal. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19 не ᲂу҆равни́тсѧ є҆́й топа́зїй є҆ѳїо́пскїй, со зла́томъ чи́стымъ не сравни́тсѧ.
19 No se igualará con ella esmeralda de Ethiopía; no se podrá apreciar con oro fino.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia will not equal it. It won’t be valued with pure gold.
20 Премꙋ́дрость же ѿкꙋ́дꙋ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ; и҆ ко́е мѣ́сто є҆́сть ра́зꙋмꙋ;
20 ¿De dónde pues vendrá la sabiduría? ¿y dónde está el lugar de la inteligencia?
20 Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding?
21 Оу҆таи́сѧ ѿ всѧ́кагѡ человѣ́ка, и҆ ѿ пти́цъ небе́сныхъ скры́сѧ.
21 Porque encubierta está á los ojos de todo viviente, y á toda ave del cielo es oculta.
21 Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the birds of the sky.
22 Па́гꙋба и҆ сме́рть реко́стѣ: слы́шахомъ є҆ѧ̀ сла́вꙋ.
22 El infierno y la muerte dijeron: Su fama hemos oído con nuestros oídos.
22 Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
23 Бг҃ъ бла́гѡ позна̀ є҆ѧ̀ пꙋ́ть: са́мъ бо вѣ́сть мѣ́сто є҆ѧ̀.
23 Dios entiende el camino de ella, y él conoce su lugar.
23 “God understands its way, and he knows its place.
24 И҆́бо са́мъ поднебе́снꙋю всю̀ надзира́етъ, вѣ́дый, ꙗ҆̀же на землѝ, всѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ.
24 Porque él mira hasta los fines de la tierra, y ve debajo de todo el cielo.
24 For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole sky.
25 Вѣ́трѡвъ вѣ́съ и҆ водѣ̀ мѣ́рꙋ є҆гда̀ сотвори́лъ,
25 Al dar peso al viento, y poner las aguas por medida;
25 He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.
26 та́кѡ ви́дѧй сочтѐ, и҆ пꙋ́ть въ сотрѧсе́нїи гласѡ́въ,
26 Cuando él hizo ley á la lluvia, y camino al relámpago de los truenos;
26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder,
27 тогда̀ ви́дѣ ю҆̀ и҆ повѣ́да ю҆̀, ᲂу҆гото́вавъ и҆зслѣ́ди
27 Entonces la veía él, y la manifestaba; preparóla y descubrióla también.
27 then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.
28 и҆ речѐ человѣ́кꙋ: сѐ, благоче́стїе є҆́сть премꙋ́дрость, а҆ є҆́же ᲂу҆далѧ́тисѧ ѿ ѕла̀ є҆́сть вѣ́дѣнїе.
28 Y dijo al hombre: He aquí que el temor del Señor es la sabiduría, y el apartarse del mal la inteligencia.
28 To man he said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.’”

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).

  1. Quotes verse 28:28 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VIII)

    For Thou hast said unto man, "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;" and desire not to seem wise, because, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." But I had now found the goodly pearl, which, selling all that I had, I ought to have bought; and I hesitated.
