WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Мꙋ̑дрыѧ жєны̀ созда́ша до́мы: безꙋ́мнаѧ же раскопа̀ рꙋка́ма свои́ма.
1 Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
2 Ходѧ́й пра́вѡ бои́тсѧ гдⷭ҇а: развраща́ѧй же пꙋти̑ своѧ̑ ѡ҆безче́ститсѧ.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh, but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.
3 И҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ безꙋ́мныхъ же́злъ досажде́нїѧ: ᲂу҆стнѣ́ же мꙋ́дрыхъ хранѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀.
3 The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.
4 И҆дѣ́же нѣ́сть волѡ́въ, ꙗ҆́сли чи̑сты: а҆ и҆дѣ́же жи̑та мнѡ́га, ꙗ҆́вна волꙋ̀ крѣ́пость.
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
5 Свидѣ́тель вѣ́ренъ не лже́тъ: разжиза́етъ же лѡ́жнаѧ свидѣ́тель непра́веденъ.
5 A truthful witness will not lie, but a false witness pours out lies.
6 Взы́щеши премꙋ́дрости ᲂу҆ ѕлы́хъ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щеши: чꙋ́вство же ᲂу҆ мꙋ́дрыхъ ᲂу҆до́бно.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn’t find it, but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.
7 Всѧ̑ проти̑вна (сꙋ́ть) мꙋ́жеви безꙋ́мнꙋ: ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе же чꙋ́вствїѧ ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ премꙋ̑дры.
7 Stay away from a foolish man, for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.
8 Премꙋ́дрость кова́рныхъ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ пꙋти̑ и҆́хъ: бꙋ́йство же безꙋ́мныхъ въ заблꙋжде́нїи.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.
9 До́мове беззако́нныхъ тре́бꙋютъ ѡ҆чище́нїѧ, до́мове же првⷣныхъ прїѧ́тни.
9 Fools mock at making atonement for sins, but among the upright there is good will.
10 Се́рдце мꙋ́жа чꙋ́вственно печа́ль дꙋшѝ є҆гѡ̀: є҆гда́ же весели́тсѧ, не примѣша́етсѧ досажде́нїю.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness and joy; he will not share these with a stranger.
11 До́мове нечести́выхъ и҆сче́знꙋтъ, селє́нїѧ же пра́вѡ творѧ́щихъ пребꙋ́дꙋтъ.
11 The house of the wicked will be overthrown, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
12 Є҆́сть пꙋ́ть, и҆́же мни́тсѧ человѣ́кѡмъ пра́въ бы́ти, послѣ̑днѧѧ же є҆гѡ̀ прихо́дѧтъ во дно̀ а҆́да.
12 There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
13 Ко весе́лїємъ не примѣшава́етсѧ печа́ль: послѣ̑днѧѧ же ра́дости въ пла́чь прихо́дѧтъ.
13 Even in laughter the heart may be sorrowful, and mirth may end in heaviness.
14 Пꙋті́й свои́хъ насы́титсѧ дерзосе́рдый, ѿ размышле́нїй же свои́хъ мꙋ́жъ бла́гъ.
14 The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways; likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.
15 Неѕло́бивый вѣ́рꙋ є҆́млетъ всѧ́комꙋ словесѝ, кова́рный же прихо́дитъ въ раска́ѧнїе.
15 A simple man believes everything, but the prudent man carefully considers his ways.
16 Премꙋ́дръ ᲂу҆боѧ́всѧ ᲂу҆клони́тсѧ ѿ ѕла̀, безꙋ́мный же на себѐ надѣ́ѧвсѧ смѣшава́етсѧ со беззако́ннымъ.
16 A wise man fears and shuns evil, but the fool is hot headed and reckless.
17 Ѻ҆строѧ́ростный без̾ совѣ́та твори́тъ, мꙋ́жъ же мꙋ́дрый мнѡ́гаѧ терпи́тъ.
17 He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, and a crafty man is hated.
18 Раздѣлѧ́ютъ безꙋ́мнїи ѕло́бꙋ, кова́рнїи же ᲂу҆держа́тъ чꙋ́вство.
18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 Попо́лзнꙋтсѧ ѕлі́и пред̾ бл҃ги́ми, и҆ нечести́вїи послꙋ́жатъ пред̾ две́рьми првⷣныхъ.
19 The evil bow down before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 Дрꙋ́зїе возненави́дѧтъ дрꙋгѡ́въ ᲂу҆бо́гихъ: дрꙋ́зїе же бога́тыхъ мно́зи.
20 The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor, but the rich person has many friends.
21 Безче́стѧй ᲂу҆бѡ́гїѧ согрѣша́етъ, ми́лꙋѧй же ни́щыѧ бл҃же́нъ.
21 He who despises his neighbor sins, but he who has pity on the poor is blessed.
22 Заблꙋжда́ющїи (непра́вєдницы) дѣ́лаютъ ѕла̑ѧ, млⷭ҇ть же и҆ и҆́стинꙋ дѣ́лаютъ бл҃гі́и. Не вѣ́дѧтъ млⷭ҇ти и҆ вѣ́ры дѣ́лателїе ѕлы́хъ: ми́лѡстыни же и҆ вѣ̑ры ᲂу҆ дѣ́лателей бл҃ги́хъ.
22 Don’t they go astray who plot evil? But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
23 Во всѧ́цѣмъ пекꙋ́щемсѧ є҆́сть и҆з̾ѻби́лїе: любосла́стный же и҆ безпеча́льный въ скꙋ́дости бꙋ́детъ.
23 In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.
24 Вѣне́цъ премꙋ́дрыхъ бога́тство и҆́хъ, житїе́ же безꙋ́мныхъ ѕло̀.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches, but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.
25 И҆зба́витъ ѿ ѕлы́хъ дꙋ́шꙋ свидѣ́тель вѣ́ренъ, разжиза́етъ же лжи̑ваѧ ле́стный.
25 A truthful witness saves souls, but a false witness is deceitful.
26 Во стра́сѣ гдⷭ҇ни ᲂу҆пова́нїе крѣ́пости, ча́дѡмъ же свои̑мъ ѡ҆ста́витъ ᲂу҆твержде́нїе (ми́ра).
26 In the fear of Yahweh is a secure fortress, and he will be a refuge for his children.
27 Стра́хъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆сто́чникъ жи́зни, твори́тъ же ᲂу҆кланѧ́тисѧ ѿ сѣ́ти сме́ртныѧ.
27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, turning people from the snares of death.
28 Во мно́зѣ ꙗ҆зы́цѣ сла́ва царю̀: во ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́нїи же лю́дстѣ сокрꙋше́нїе си́льномꙋ.
28 In the multitude of people is the king’s glory, but in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince.
29 Долготерпѣли́въ мꙋ́жъ мно́гъ въ ра́зꙋмѣ, малодꙋ́шный же крѣ́пкѡ безꙋ́менъ.
29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.
30 Кро́ткїй мꙋ́жъ се́рдцꙋ вра́чь: мо́ль же косте́мъ се́рдце чꙋ́вственно.
30 The life of the body is a heart at peace, but envy rots the bones.
31 Ѡ҆клевета́ѧй ᲂу҆бо́гаго раздража́етъ сотво́ршаго и҆̀, почита́ѧй же є҆го̀ ми́лꙋетъ ни́щаго.
31 He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.
32 Во ѕло́бѣ свое́й ѿри́нетсѧ нечести́вый: надѣ́ѧйжесѧ на гдⷭ҇а свои́мъ преподо́бїемъ пра́веденъ.
32 The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.
33 Въ се́рдцы бла́зѣ мꙋ́жа почі́етъ премꙋ́дрость, въ се́рдцы же безꙋ́мныхъ не познава́етсѧ.
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, and is even made known in the inward part of fools.
34 Пра́вда возвыша́етъ ꙗ҆зы́къ: ᲂу҆малѧ́ютъ же племена̀ грѣсѝ.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
35 Прїѧ́тенъ царе́ви слꙋга̀ разꙋ́мный, свои́мъ же благоѡбраще́нїемъ ѿе́млетъ безче́стїе.
35 The king’s favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath is toward one who causes shame.

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 14:28 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXXVI)

    The Scripture says, "In a wide nation is the king's honour; but in the domination of the people is the affliction of a prince." This wrong then thou dost unto Christ, to say that His people is diminished to that small number.
