Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Мѣ̑рила льсти̑ваѧ ме́рзость пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, вѣ́съ же првⷣный прїѧ́тенъ є҆мꙋ̀.
1 A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight.
2 И҆дѣ́же а҆́ще вни́детъ досажде́нїе, та́мѡ и҆ безче́стїе: ᲂу҆ста́ же смире́нныхъ поꙋча́ютсѧ премꙋ́дрости.
2 When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.
3 Оу҆мира́ѧй првⷣникъ ѡ҆ста́ви раска́ѧнїе, ᲂу҆до́бна же быва́етъ и҆ посмѣѧ́тельна нечести́выхъ поги́бель.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
4 Соверше́нство пра́выхъ наста́витъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ поползнове́нїе ѿрица́ющихсѧ плѣни́тъ и҆̀хъ. Не ᲂу҆по́льзꙋютъ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ въ де́нь ꙗ҆́рости: пра́вда же и҆зба́витъ ѿ сме́рти.
4 Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
5 Пра́вда непоро́чнагѡ и҆справлѧ́етъ пꙋти̑, нече́стїе же впа́даетъ въ непра́вдꙋ.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 Пра́вда мꙋже́й пра́выхъ и҆зба́витъ и҆̀хъ, безсовѣ́тїемъ же ᲂу҆ловлѧ́ютсѧ беззако́ннїи.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
7 Сконча́вшꙋсѧ мꙋ́жꙋ првⷣнꙋ, не поги́бнетъ наде́жда: похвала́ же нечести́выхъ поги́бнетъ.
7 When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.
8 Првⷣный ѿ ло́ва ᲂу҆бѣ́гнетъ, въ негѡ́же мѣ́сто предае́тсѧ нечести́вый.
8 A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.
9 Во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ нечести́выхъ сѣ́ть гра́жданѡмъ, чꙋ́вство же првⷣныхъ благопоспѣ́шно.
9 With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
10 Во бл҃ги́хъ првⷣныхъ и҆спра́витсѧ гра́дъ, и҆ въ поги́бели нечести́выхъ ра́дованїе.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 Въ блгⷭ҇ве́нїи пра́выхъ возвы́ситсѧ гра́дъ, ᲂу҆сты̑ же нечести́выхъ раскопа́етсѧ.
11 By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 Рꙋга́етсѧ гра́жданѡмъ лише́нный ра́зꙋма, мꙋ́жъ же мꙋ́дръ безмо́лвїе во́дитъ.
12 One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
13 Мꙋ́жъ двоѧзы́ченъ ѿкрыва́етъ совѣ́ты въ со́нмищи, вѣ́рный же дꙋ́хомъ таи́тъ ве́щы.
13 One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
14 И҆̀мже и҆ нѣ́сть ᲂу҆правле́нїѧ, па́даютъ а҆́ки ли́ствїе, спасе́нїе же є҆́сть во мно́зѣ совѣ́тѣ.
14 Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
15 Лꙋка́вый ѕлодѣ́йствꙋетъ, є҆гда̀ сочетава́етсѧ съ првⷣнымъ, ненави́дитъ же гла́са ᲂу҆твержде́нїѧ.
15 He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
16 Жена̀ благода́тна возно́ситъ мꙋ́жꙋ сла́вꙋ: престо́лъ же безче́стїѧ жена̀ ненави́дѧщаѧ пра́вды. Бога́тства лѣни́вїи скꙋ́дни быва́ютъ, крѣ́пцыи же ᲂу҆твержда́ютсѧ бога́тствомъ.
16 A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.
17 Дꙋшѝ свое́й благотвори́тъ мꙋ́жъ ми́лостивый, погꙋблѧ́етъ же тѣ́ло своѐ неми́лостивый.
17 The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
18 Нечести́вый твори́тъ дѣла̀ непра́вєднаѧ: сѣ́мѧ же првⷣныхъ мзда̀ и҆́стины.
18 Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
19 Сы́нъ првⷣный ражда́етсѧ въ живо́тъ: гоне́нїе же нечести́вагѡ въ сме́рть.
19 He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
20 Ме́рзость гдⷭ҇еви пꙋтїѐ развраще́нни, прїѧ́тни же є҆мꙋ̀ всѝ непоро́чнїи въ пꙋте́хъ свои́хъ.
20 Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
21 Въ рꙋ́кꙋ рꙋ́цѣ вложи́въ непра́веднѡ, не без̾ мꙋ́ки бꙋ́детъ ѕлы́хъ: сѣ́ѧй же пра́вдꙋ прїи́метъ мздꙋ̀ вѣ́рнꙋ.
21 Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
22 Ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆серѧ́зь златы́й въ но́здрехъ свинїѝ, та́кѡ женѣ̀ ѕлоꙋ́мнѣй лѣ́пота.
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
23 Жела́нїе првⷣныхъ всѐ благо́е, наде́жда же нечести́выхъ поги́бнетъ.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 Сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же своѧ̑ сѣ́юще, мнѡ́жайшаѧ творѧ́тъ: сꙋ́ть же и҆ собира́юще чꙋжда̑ѧ, ᲂу҆малѧ́ютсѧ.
24 There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
25 Дꙋша̀ блгⷭ҇ве́нна всѧ́каѧ проста́ѧ: мꙋ́жъ ꙗ҆́рый неблагоѡбра́зенъ.
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
26 Оу҆держава́ѧй пшени́цꙋ ѡ҆ста́витъ ю҆̀ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ: продаѧ́й пшени́цꙋ скꙋ́пѡ, ѿ наро́да про́клѧтъ, блгⷭ҇ве́нїе же гдⷭ҇не на главѣ̀ подава́ющагѡ.
26 People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
27 Творѧ́й блага̑ѧ и҆́щетъ блгⷣти добры̀: и҆́щꙋщаго же ѕла̑ѧ пости́гнꙋтъ є҆го̀.
27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.
28 Надѣ́ѧйсѧ на бога́тство своѐ, се́й паде́тъ: застꙋпа́ѧй же првⷣныхъ, то́й возсїѧ́етъ.
28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
29 Не сматрѧ́ѧй своегѡ̀ до́мꙋ наслѣ́дитъ вѣ́тры: порабо́таетъ же безꙋ́мный разꙋ́мномꙋ.
29 He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30 Ѿ плода̀ пра́вды дре́во жи́зни прозѧба́етъ: ѿе́млютсѧ же безвре́меннѡ дꙋ́ши беззако́нныхъ.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
31 А҆́ще првⷣный є҆два̀ спаса́етсѧ, нечести́вый же и҆ грѣ́шный гдѣ̀ ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ;
31 Behold, the righteous shall be repaid on the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!

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).
… To which he added this testimony: "For if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?" How then shall the wicked be with Thee, if Thou dost not even spare Thy faithful, in order that Thou mayest exercise and teach them? But as He spareth them not, for this reason, that He may teach them: he …
