1 Сы́нъ бл҃горазꙋ́мный послꙋшли́въ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀, сы́нъ же непокорли́вый въ поги́бель. 2 Ѿ плодѡ́въ пра́вды снѣ́сть бл҃гі́й: дꙋ́шы же беззако́нныхъ погиба́ютъ безвре́меннѡ. 3 И҆́же храни́тъ своѧ̑ ᲂу҆ста̀, соблюда́етъ свою̀ дꙋ́шꙋ: проде́рзивый же ᲂу҆стна́ма ᲂу҆страши́тъ себѐ. 4 Въ по́хотехъ є҆́сть всѧ́къ пра́здный: рꙋ́ки же мꙋ́жественныхъ въ прилѣжа́нїи. 5 Словесѐ непра́ведна ненави́дитъ првⷣникъ: нечести́вый же стыди́тсѧ и҆ не воз̾имѣ́тъ дерзнове́нїѧ. 6 Пра́вда храни́тъ неѕлѡ́бивыѧ: нечести̑выѧ же ѕлы̑ твори́тъ грѣ́хъ. 7 Сꙋ́ть богатѧ́ще себѐ, ничесѡ́же и҆мꙋ́ще: и҆ сꙋ́ть смирѧ́ющесѧ во мно́зѣ бога́тствѣ. 8 И҆збавле́нїе мꙋ́жа дꙋшѝ своѐ є҆мꙋ̀ бога́тство: ни́щїй же не терпи́тъ преще́нїѧ. 9 Свѣ́тъ првⷣнымъ всегда̀, свѣ́тъ же нечести́выхъ ᲂу҆гаса́етъ: дꙋ́ши льсти̑выѧ заблꙋжда́ютъ во грѣсѣ́хъ, првⷣнїи же ще́дрѧтъ и҆ ми́лꙋютъ. 10 Ѕлы́й съ досажде́нїемъ твори́тъ ѕла̑ѧ: себе́ же зна́ющїи премꙋ́дри (сꙋ́ть). 11 И҆мѣ́нїе поспѣша́емо со беззако́нїемъ ᲂу҆ма́лено быва́етъ, собира́ѧй же себѣ̀ со бл҃гоче́стїемъ и҆з̾ѡби́льствовати бꙋ́детъ: првⷣный ще́дритъ и҆ дае́тъ. 12 Лꙋ́чше начина́ѧй помога́ти се́рдцемъ ѡ҆бѣща́ющагѡ и҆ въ наде́ждꙋ ведꙋ́щагѡ: дре́во бо жи́зни жела́нїе до́брое. 13 И҆́же презира́етъ ве́щь, презрѣ́нъ бꙋ́детъ ѿ неѧ̀: а҆ боѧ́йсѧ за́повѣди, се́й здра́вствꙋетъ. 14 Сы́нꙋ лꙋка́вомꙋ ничто́же є҆́сть бла́го: рабꙋ́ же мꙋ́дрꙋ благопоспѣ̑шна бꙋ́дꙋтъ дѣла̀, и҆ и҆спра́витсѧ пꙋ́ть є҆гѡ̀. 15 Зако́нъ мꙋ́дромꙋ и҆сто́чникъ жи́зни: безꙋ́мный же ѿ сѣ́ти ᲂу҆́мретъ. 16 Ра́зꙋмъ бл҃гъ дае́тъ блгⷣть: разꙋмѣ́ти же зако́нъ, мы́сли є҆́сть благі́ѧ: пꙋтїе́ же презира́ющихъ въ поги́бели. 17 Всѧ́къ хи́трый твори́тъ съ ра́зꙋмомъ, безꙋ́мный же простре́тъ свою̀ ѕло́бꙋ. 18 Ца́рь де́рзостенъ впаде́тъ во ѕла̑ѧ, вѣ́стникъ же мꙋ́дръ и҆зба́витъ є҆го̀. 19 Нищетꙋ̀ и҆ безче́стїе ѿе́млетъ наказа́нїе: хранѧ́й же ѡ҆бличє́нїѧ просла́витсѧ. 20 Жела̑нїѧ бл҃гочести́выхъ наслажда́ютъ дꙋ́шꙋ, дѣла́ же нечести́выхъ дале́че ѿ ра́зꙋма. 21 Ходѧ́й съ премꙋ́дрыми премꙋ́дръ бꙋ́детъ, ходѧ́й же съ безꙋ́мными позна́нъ бꙋ́детъ. 22 Согрѣша́ющихъ пости́гнꙋтъ ѕла̑ѧ, првⷣныхъ же пости́гнꙋтъ бл҃га̑ѧ. 23 Бл҃гъ мꙋ́жъ наслѣ́дитъ сы́ны сынѡ́въ: сокро́вищствꙋетсѧ же првⷣнымъ бога́тство нечести́выхъ. 24 Првⷣнїи насладѧ́тсѧ въ бога́тствѣ лѣ̑та мнѡ́га: непра́веднїи же поги́бнꙋтъ вско́рѣ. 25 И҆́же щади́тъ же́злъ (сво́й), ненави́дитъ сы́на своего̀: любѧ́й же наказꙋ́етъ прилѣ́жнѡ. 26 Првⷣный ꙗ҆ды́й насыща́етъ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀: дꙋ́шы же нечести́выхъ скꙋ̑дны.

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.

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).
No one will contradict this; least of all he who looks for celestial light as one of the rewards promised to virtue, the light which, as Solomon says, is always a light to the righteous, the light which made the Apostle say "Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the …
